Your Income & Your Art

Your Income & Your Art

        I believe that every person has a goal in life to achieve. In order to do that i personally think a person needs a stable income ( job ) for a start which oblige him to be an employee for a company. We might be working on projects that might not be interesting for us , but it is an opportunity to get into the media industry and understand how it works, after all experience is the main thing that would lead us to success. This is a common thing between us creative minds , whether i am in the film industry or audio, graphic design, animation or even games. It is all about storytelling and expressing ourselves through art.

         One of the main things that really interested me in last week lecture is how to create a successful business. For me, it was a really important and interesting topic because i myself, looks forward to have my own company whether it's a production house or any other company.

To begin with, starting a company might sounds easy but it is not ! It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to even begin and comes with a lot of responsibilities specially when you are investing with your own money. I personally believe that what can really boost your company is being unique and great at what you do and being active on Social Media. Nowadays, in our generation social media is taking over everything, it is a way of letting people recognize you, even advertising is a way of throwing your own projects outside for the world to see.

Creating a company is creating a team, so it takes a lot of planning since your going to be working with a group of creative people, assigning each one of them to do what he/she does best, planning the working hours, and specially paying them. So failure is just a wall to stop you from what you once dreamed of, loosing is possible but it also motivates you to keep going and learning from your own mistakes.

        A business gives you the opportunity to create your own passion, but also there is other forms of ways to make an income, like you could be a freelancer, it has it's positives but also it has it's negatives which is you would never have a stable income coming to your hands every month, or you might get a job that you would really like and then might get another one that you might hate but you have to do it for the money, as some people say '' Pocket money '' everybody has to pay the bills. Freelancing is like you are your own boss, you are not stuck with a schedule or timings but after all you have a deadline which the project have to be done. As a freelancer motivation is a must and seeking to get jobs is another. 

        I hope i get a better understanding of the industry after completing this class and be able to understand it and be a part of it where i can show my creative side and be recognized.
