Answer 1

There are many jobs in digital media like a 3D specialist, an animator, a digital graphic artist, a web developer, a marketing expert, a games developer, a software designer, a multimedia consultant, a technology journalist, a film effects developer, and much more. When working in digital media you can express your creativity and you will have the chance to become a leader in the field.

Of these many options, I think I would want to be a video game developer or a video editor. Creating my video games would be nice, but I think that I would be better off editing videos and stuff. As a video editor, I would either be editing raw film or video footage to tell a story for online projects as well as films, TVs shows, and commercials. I would operate from a script when organizing footage, adding special effects, music, dialogue, and animation as necessary. Video editors gather all media into the editing software and ensure that it is all in the proper format. They typically meet with clients to create an initial storyboard for the video and to learn the purpose of its creation. The national average salary of a video editor is 3,054$ a month which compared to a video game designer it is not that much. There is no formal educational qualification required to enter into this profession. All one needs is training in the computer systems and programs used in digital video/film editing and interest in editing visual media.

I think that I would go into this career because I would get to express my creativity and I would probably enjoy doing it. I would also consider becoming a video game designer because I think that is something I would also enjoy and I would be making decent money.
