In 2015, I worked as an algorithm engineer at Google, responsible for the social network recommendation system.In the same year, I joined the production team of the film "Whose Youth is Not Disoriented" as a producer assistant.This crossover experience gave me a new understanding of technology and film and television.

# From code to set

At Google, I deal with code, algorithms, data every day.On set, I was faced with actors, directors, cameras.This shift made me realize that while the way we work is completely different, the logic behind it is interconnected.

Algorithm engineers need to understand user needs, design recommendation strategies, and optimize system performance.The producer's assistant needs to understand the director's intentions, coordinate resources, and ensure the progress of the shoot.Both require logical thinking, communication and coordination, and problem-solving skills.

# Application of technical thinking in film and television

On set, I found that technical thinking could be applied to film and television production:

• • • Project management * *: Manage the shooting plan like a code version to ensure every link is documented
• • • Resource optimization * *: Optimize your shooting resources like an optimization algorithm for efficiency
• • • Insights * *: Analyze your data to optimize your shoot
• • • Process standardization * *: Establish a standardized photography process to reduce errors

# The Application of Film and Television Thinking in Technology

In turn, film and television thinking also
