BLOG QUESTION ADV: PROFESSIONALISM

Overall, how do each of these characteristics of professionalism apply to filmmaking? How do they apply to your daily work in this class? Please select three characteristics to give real-life examples of how you can work toward improving them in this class.

These characteristics make you stand out to employers/bosses, which is essential to filmmaking because you want to climb the ladder and achieve a part in essential crew. These apply to our class because we practice professionalism everyday, particularly the no phone rule, dress code, and staying organized skills. Three characteristics that I believe I can improve on this year are owning up to my mistakes, having good poise, and dressing for success. I can owe up to my mistakes by apologizing to group members and actively working on becoming better if I ever make a mistake or don't deliver what I promised, I can maintain my poise by remembering to stay professional and not letting my feelings get ahead of me, and I can dress for success by following school dress code and even bringing extra clothes to change into.
