Career Aspirations

Naturally one of the points of going to University is to make sure that you have more chance of getting a better job in the field you want to go into. Personally I want to one day make my own films, but everyone who is on a film production course wants to be able to do this. My idea of how I will achieve this, I will admit, I haven't thought to much about. But my current plan is to work in a production role in advertising as I have heard that they tend to pay well, and keep a certain amount of money aside which would mean is could self produce my own films. Due to technological convergence and software proliferation this is becoming more common in the industry and is quite a viable way of getting your films out there. If my films are successful then I will go into making films full time. I understand this probably sounds quite implausible but I will try and make this work. The other thing I am interested in doing is creating my own television platform online. An independent Netflix specializing in making the audience the commissioners, so that lesser known talented people can have a chance to expose their work. For example comedians who have a good idea for a show that couldn't get it on the BBC because they're not very well known. This could be funded in two ways by people who want to pay a subscription/through donations or through advertising like how 4OD and other demand services do.
