A music producer is pretty much self explanatory, they produce music
for the good of artists or for if you’re lucky, yourself and make it a full
time job. There is two sides to being a music producer, either producing
music for the artist and only for that artist mainly or you could try and
produce for themselves and become a DJ as well to preform their
music live to the public. To apply for this job you would need to have
some music in a portfolio which you would send to the portfolio to the
record label of your choice (Each label is decisive on their genre so
you’ll have to chose the genre you would want to produce, once
you’re accepted you will sign a contract and then produce under that
label. Recording engineers earned similar starting salaries, with an
average of $25,000 a year, while top earners made $150,000 a year or
more.
As a film or video editor, you'll be responsible for assembling recorded raw
material into a finished product that's suitable for broadcasting. The material
may include camera footage, dialogue, sound effects, graphics and special
effects. This is a key role in the post-production process and your skills can
determine the quality and delivery of the final product. You'll usually work closely
with the director to achieve the desired end result. You'll need to be proficient in
using specific editing software packages, such as Avid or Final Cut Pro. Courses
that cover these applications are available at varying levels but they can be
expensive, so make sure you research them fully to get a course that matches
your career and training aims.
If you have experience of the very latest technology, it may reduce the
competition you face. General computer literacy and an aptitude for working
with digital equipment to achieve results are also important. The average salary
for a Film / Video Editor is £22,580 per year. People in this job generally don't
have more than 20 years' experience. Experience strongly influences pay for this
job. A skill in avid is associated with high pay for this job.
Sound technicians set up, operate and maintain the technical equipment used
to record, edit, amplify and enhance the sound produced for film, radio, TV or
theatre. They can also be called sound engineers. In this job you would need to
have a good sense of hearing. You would also need to understand musical
pitch, timing and rhythm.
To develop your skills you could start by completing a course at college or
university. A different route would be to start as a runner in a recording studio.
This would allow you to gain experience and then work your way up to become
a studio sound engineer. The Typical starting salary is £16,000 - £18,000 in an
established studio or in television and radio and with experience, e.g. after ten
years in the role: £30,000 - £35,000. These wages are often supplemented with
unpredictability or unsocial hour
A graphic designer is responsible for creating design solutions that have a high visual impact.
The role involves listening to clients and understanding their needs before making design
decisions. Their designs are required for a huge variety of products and activities, such as
websites, advertising, books, magazines, posters, computer games, product packaging,
exhibitions and displays, corporate communications and corporate identity, i.e. giving
organisations a visual 'brand'. The work demands creative flair, up-to-date knowledge of
industry software and a professional approach to time, costs and deadlines. To become a
graphic designer, you will need to have IT and drawing skills. You'll need to be able to find
practical solutions to problems. You'll also need excellent communication skills. Most
professional graphic designers have a foundation degree, HND or degree in graphic design
or other art and design-based subject. Starting salaries for junior graphic designers are
between £15,000 and £19,000 while experienced designers and lead designers can earn in
the region of £25,000 to £50,000. A creative director can make £60,000+ a year.
