Nature of Work

Is Filming a physical or mental job?I think filming is both a physical and mental job. I think this because, working a camera is

a physical job but you also have to use your brain to know how to work and maintain the camera while operating.

Indoor or Outdoor?I believe filming can be an indoor and outdoor job depending on what you plan the record.

severe weather, military conflicts, and natural disasters. They may have to stand for long periods waiting for an event to take place. They may carry heavy equipment.
