From this research I have found that I might want to look further into other jobs of the industry, seeing, reading and researching about the other types of jobs has intrigued me into possibly wanting to do a different type of job in the Media Industry. For instance, I originally thought that working in Animation might have been my dream job, but having seen what the work actually entails, I am also becoming interested in video production and editing.
