First: the studio

The studio here is not a learning studio set up by your teacher or several students at school, but a purely commercial studio for profit. There are many such studios now, the main work content is relatively simple, and the use of AE technology is low, that is, modifying the template and then exporting the finished product. The competitive pressure is small and the threshold is low, but it is also because of low competitiveness. It can be said that anyone who knows AE casually can be competent for this kind of work, and the salary is relatively low, because the boss and customers.

There is also a studio, which is a branch of an advertising company. Compared with the above, this kind of studio is harder and more demanding, but as long as you have your own works, there is no problem in applying for success (certificates and the like are just floating clouds).

Second: advertising companies.

As the name implies, advertising companies package products, and what is more powerful is to do it together with product marketing. The work flow of this company has detailed regulations and many departments. What technical department do you usually enter? Then your job is to do post-production. Usually a master will take you, or the company will let you follow someone who came in earlier than you. Before making a good advertisement, you have to come up with an idea, determine the script, shoot it and then go to post-production. Of course, pure post-production has to go through creative and other links, but you are not required to shoot. The software you need to master in an advertising company is not only AE, although you may only use AE.

Third: the wedding company

Wedding companies are also a major employment direction of AE. A good wedding company provides integrated packaging services from wedding planning, venue layout, bride makeup, wedding dress, hotel ordering, wedding hosting, camera shooting, post-video processing and post-photography. Moreover, there is great room for the development of the wedding market, and now many previous photo studios have begun to change to this aspect. It can be said that the demand for talents is great. Then all you have to do is color the wedding video. Of course, many times we have to edit together and even make a video. It depends on the size of the company you join. Here we can refer to Tang Chi's impression that official website/Tang Chi's wedding works are moving towards film-level photography, color matching and editing, and have formed a certain style. Of course, this is a top wedding company. Nowadays, many wedding companies even use audio and video for post-production (of course, there are also good works), and even have unedited versions. In addition, they also make some wedding titles, wedding album commemorative videos and so on.

Fourth: TV station

Needless to say, many students in this major dream of practicing in TV stations, and a large number of them want to go in when they are working, but not every post-professional goes in to do the post-stage, so if they do the post-stage, their main job is to make news subtitles, which are the horizontal bars that usually appear at the bottom of the screen. This is also an aspect of the column package, and there are news video clips related to this. Therefore, no matter whether you do news headlines or not, this kind of general TV station is outsourced to advertising companies or their subsidiaries, and because this kind of work is relatively fixed and the technical content is similar, you can get used to it after a while.

Fifth: special effects company

Well, many students in the later stage of study think that working in a special effects company is king, and they can do special effects or something. So what are special effects? Let's add a text to the video, which is a special effect, and add a light, which is also a special effect. If you only stare at high-end blockbuster special effects, you will be dazzled and then go blind. At present, the domestic special effects are mostly two-dimensional special effects, which is far from the large-scale three-dimensional special effects we watch. Of course, even for two-dimensional special effects, you need to master more than AE software. As far as AE is concerned, what AE can do, the magic TV series such as Journey to the West and Xuanyuan Sword we watch, and the gun battle in the usual movies, etc. Two-dimensional special effects in TV dramas and movies can be realized through AE, which is still very promising, because we are not short of good stories. This requires your own technical level.

Sixth: animation companies

The animation company here makes cartoons. For example, many special effects in Qin Yue, which is sought after in the past two years, are also made by AE, including the sound of AE in Happy Sunshine and Miss Puff, not to mention Japanese classic cartoons. The application of AE in cartoons is becoming more and more mature, and the requirements are also ignored by the above-mentioned special effects companies, although the two companies are doing the same thing to some extent.

Seventh: the crew or the film company.

Now everyone is familiar with the word microfilm. Many people tell people everywhere that it is a microfilm after making a movie. In the future, everyone can make movies. If you follow the crew, you may learn not only the later stage, but also camera, lighting, recording and tuning. The same is true for film companies, but the competition between film companies is greater, and you can see room for improvement. At present, most of the later stage in China is editing, and there are many good scissorhands, but there is still a big gap in special effects. If you are lucky enough to be sent abroad to study, it is a great thing in itself.

Eighth: Witkey

Witkey is to take orders and do it yourself. Witkey is not a person now. Many studios and advertising companies have joined in, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. Like witkey. Com/ This platform comes from all over the country. Customers publish their requirements, then let Witkey bid, and finally choose according to the price and works. This is also the convenience brought by the network. You don't have to be restricted by the company's various systems and you don't have to go out. On the other hand, competition is also cruel. If you don't have a solid technology company and creativity, you will also be eliminated.

Here are some experiences:

First, during the internship, if Chong wants to work in a photo studio, a wedding company or an advertising company, he will work hard and quit as a project manager.

Second, the previous process will take about a year or two, and then I plan to enter TV stations, special effects companies or animation companies. Strive for opportunities to go abroad for further study. During the period, team entrepreneurship is not ruled out. After all, I also brought a team during my college days and learned about management.

The third is to strive to become a witkey! Freelance is my childhood dream. The main business is to do special effects for people, not to be an amateur writer. Writer is an ultimate goal in my life planning, and my biggest dream is to be a writer like Jin Yong.

Realizing this triple jump is not a waste of this life. Ha ha. Do you think I'm short-sighted and have no big ambitions? In fact, my ambition is particularly great. This is only my most conservative plan. I also want to pursue the chivalrous life in my heart, which is also written by Jin Yong. Of course, what do you mean by chivalrous people in modern society? Of course, when I say chivalrous life, I don't mean traveling around the world with a sword. Man is the artistic conception of chivalrous man. Well, I can't describe it myself. If I admire an incompetent person, it is that my expression ability is not good enough, and I can't even express what I think. Therefore, it is precisely because of my poor expression ability that I regard becoming a writer as my ultimate goal. In all my spare time, I have always regarded studying literature as my struggle reason.
