Camera Operations

A big interest of mine is camera operations and film editorial work. According to www.BLS.gov , film and video editors and camera operators produce salaries of around $45,490 per year. Camera operators capture a wide range of material for TV shows, motion pictures, music videos, documentaries, or news and sporting events. Editors construct the final productions from the many different images that camera operators capture. They collaborate with producers and directors to create the final production. The majority of camera operators are self employed to create their own schedules. In addition, Operators or Editors work hours vary depending on the type of operator or editor. Those who work in broadcasting might have to work long hours to meet a deadlines. Most jobs or positions require a bachelor’s degree in a field related to film or broadcasting; many colleges offer courses in camera operation or video editing software. Within this path of Camera Operator or Editor, one can grow to become producers or directors later on.
