Who's the worst tv field person in town?
So they sent me out into the field over the last few days. I am not really used to being in the field, and over here in Canada they call it "field director" and not "field producer" like I am used to. I thought it was just a different name for the same job, but they aren't kidding when they say "director". To make matters worse, my boss and his second-in-command were there watching my every failure (and taking notes, I'm sure).
I try to learn as much as I can on every job I'm on, so I did my best the last couple days, nervously instructing senior-level camera people where I wanted to do the shooting and all that. I have a sneaking suspicion that if I had asked them to shoot it the way they thought was best it would have been better. Maybe I just don't know enough about field work to do this job?
We got the footage we needed out of the day, but I'm afraid I was judged poorly by my boss. I wonder what will happen on Monday. Will I still have a job?
