Hello, this is my first post on this forum I am a third year Film Production student at Sheffield Hallam University.
For my research module I am to interview professionals from several media companies in the relevant department to my specialism which is Sound, I have a particular interest in the radio.
I would be most grateful for any help anybody could give can give me because as well as helping me with my University task it will also hopefully show me how a Sound professional deals with professional practice, the methods you use and how you got where you are in your career.
These are the questions.
1.First things first - what exactly does your role entail? What happens in your typical working day?
2. What paths put you onto the career you are currently in? Was there an early love for sound? Did you you go down any traditional routes?
3. Is it easy to keep up with any technical advances, how do you keep up to date with the contstant changes with technology? Is there much training every so often because of this?
4. What is the pay like for your job? How do you set your prices?
5. Are you part of any unions? Are there any advantages or disadvantages to this?
6. What the is the creative process of your work from planning to the final product?
7.Can you ever influence or change a directors decision if it's important to the sound of the piece? If so do you you have any examples?
8. What are the more interesting projects you have worked on?
9.What projects are you currently working on?
10. .What's your best advice for someone interested in a career like yours?
Thanks for your time, I am ever so grateful.
