Hi fishes,
I’m a fresher and have recently completed my internship as an Operations manager at Amazon. I am currently looking for FT opportunities. I came across and opening at Maersk for the role of Business Analyst. Could anyone refer me for the role or maybe point me to a suitable opportunity?
thanks!

R/e DPs, you should trust that the director is going to pick the right person for the job. Often the DP is their closest collaborator and you want them to be comfortable. If it’s a big budget job, likely you have a director that’s got a deep reel and you should completely trust their judgement. If it’s a small budget, the last thing the prod co needs is to be micro managed on their hires when likely they are pulling favors or have limited options. Also you can’t just learn in a short period of time how to judge a DPs work in relation to a job so I think it would take a while for your opinion on who is right to actually be productive in the matter. Lenses are another story. In order to understand a directors vision, you need to know the differences between: anamorphic and spherical, soft and sharp, and long lenses, macro, probes, wide angle. That stuff you can read about and watch comparison videos on YouTube.
Also most creatives don’t know the difference between pan (side to side on the tripod head), tilt (up and down on tripod head), jib (physically moving the cam up and down), dolly (physically moving the camera in and out), zoom (using a zoom lens that adjusts the focal length), and tracking (physically moving the camera left and right). If you can learn those camera movement terms you’ll be ways ahead in speaking the directors language. While it seems like semantics there are huge differences in how a jib “feels” compared to a tilt, or a zoom compared to a dolly, such as image compression and parallax.
thank you!

Don’t get involved in production. Your job is to make sure the idea you helped sell comes to life as best as it can. This happens mostly in the preproduction and in post. Come shoot day, the last thing a director wants is a DP wannabe getting in the way.
The right DP for the role is almost always the DP suggested by the director and the production team working in conjunction. They’re the ones taking artistry and ability into account in conjunction with availability, flexibility, budget, quality, skill set and demeanor. Judging a DP only on aesthetics is not where to start; leaning on your production partners is.
I would try to do some networking or 1:1s outside of the work setting for something like this. I think P1 is right, if you try to do these things during the times when you're meant to be working, it muddles roles. Maybe reach out to people who you work with on shoots and see if they'd be willing?
I have the same exact struggle.
Be a PA on an indie film set and bill your time to professional development. It’s tough work, but the only way to learn is to dive in.
