1. Job roles in the Tv and Film Industry Christy Guy
2. Roles and responsibilities in the industry The Tv and Film industry employs many different employees, each with individual roles and responsibilities which equate to the creation of the finished product. Job roles in this industry are divided into two sectors including ‘creative’ roles and ‘non-creative’ roles. In terms of production, the Tv and film industry is split into five stages development, equating to the final product. As follows: Development – the written side of the project including script writing, this section also involves finance for film ideas and scripts. Production– this is the process, the setting up and shooting of scenes in a movie. Post-production – this is getting to the stage of creating the finished product. Distribution – this stage is the process of selling the product to audiences and this can be done for example, through cinema and retail. Exhibition – this is the final stage, where the film is exhibited to audiences through cinemas. Each of these different stages entail different ‘creative’ and ‘non-creative’ roles within.
10. CastingAlthough jobs roles can be catergorised, there are often overlaps in categorising different roles for example a job role such as a director can be classified under the organisational section as essentially the director direct the cast and crew and organize them and how they would want the set, for example, to look. However, as well as organisational a directors role would also come under creative as they would have a vision of how they would want the film/ programme to look and carry out tasks to ensure this. Another example of this could be camera men as this role could fall under technical, due to the technicality of the role. However, it could fall under the category of creative, as camera persons could be imaginative with different camera angles and shots.

37. How do you forge a career in the media? Going to university. Getting an unpaid internship, however, this may disadvantage working class budding employees as this social class may not be able to afford to take an unpaid internship as opposed to higher class candidates. Starting of in the industry as a runner could provide a route into the media, gradually working your way up to higher professional roles. Example (From Skillet) Lots of directors – their route into the media – ‘from entry level positions’ gaining work experience as a runner. No specific route to become a Film Producer – have experience in the film industry. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Courses in Media Courses available for Media from A/S qualifications to post-graduate degrees at university.
