whahaha salamat sir di ko pa naman na try mag timpla ng kape pero incase me pam bwelata na ako lakasan rin ksai ng loob eh noh hirap kasi i-approach ng director saka sa DOP naman patingin tingin lang ako sa camera whahaha pero nagtatanong din minsan nakakatawa nga eh tinatanong ko kung "magkano,gaano kalaki,pano dinadala" yung malaking camera nung sa star cinema di ko lang tinanong yung mga importanteng tanong whaha.
its
okay to start as a PA, but i wouldn't really recommend going in, and telling everybody you want, and you're willing to be a P.A. --- because thats what you're going to get stuck with.
know exactly what you want to be going in. if you want to be a cinematographer, ask to be a grip or gaffer or a camera assistant. if you want to be a producer, go to the UPM's. if you want to be a Production Designer, get a job in the art dept.
if you want to be a director or a screenwriter...
you will not learn it as a runner. i have
never seen a PA spend time with a director to learn, because good directors don't have time to tutor PA's on a set.
i've honestly never started as a PA. never became one. with my first job, i applied as a writer -- because thats what i wanted to be and start out as. i was new and inexperienced, and my boss threw me in with the UPMs and producers and the writers, and i got a first hand experience at meetings where they would dissect scripts... thats where i learned how to write with money and time and practicality in mind. thats also where i learned to become a producer.
never sell yourself short, especially if you know you're very good at something. mayabang na kung mayabang, pakapalan na ng mukha... di uso ang pa-humble effect.
