Breaking into Television and Film – Business
The television and film industry plays a crucial role in our daily living, as
it gives us our daily dose of creative content. Since its inception, it’s been
satiating our entertainment needs. Moreover, it’s been contributing to the
economy of our country on a large scale. However, on the flip side, the
worst part about this industry is that it’s fiercely competitive. The hardest
thing is to get a job in the film or television business. Breaking into this
industry can be daunting as well as frustrating.
But the good news is that there are television and film – business courses
available in Canada that can lead interested individuals to the right
career paths. Although there is no need for a formal education and
training to build a career in TV or film industry but it may make things
easier and assist in seeking work opportunities. The working knowledge
of business aspect of the entertainment industry can help individuals
hone their talent and develop skills necessary to enter the world of work.
Key Things You Should Know About TV and Film Business
 There are so many areas of film and television business that it’s
difficult to decide what best suits your needs. From pre to post-
production, there are so many job roles that it’s almost impossible
to make up your mind where you want to go. A formal education
can help you deal with such issues by offering you the complete
understanding of the current Canadian TV and film industry.
 Along with creativity and passion are required the understanding of
legal, financial and regulatory frameworks of the industry. The film
programs in Toronto combine the knowledge of film and television
industry with the principles and practices of accounting, global
marketplace, distribution modes and additional revenue sources.
 The entertainment business very much depends on references and
industry contacts. If you join a Toronto film school, there are
opportunities to gain valuable contacts through industry field
placements and studio visits.
Film Programs in Toronto
Numerous Canadian colleges offer graduate certificate programs in
television and film – business. Unfortunately, not all film schools in
Toronto offer hands-on training and practical experience in a real world
setting.
Centennial College’s one-year program in film and television business is
an intensive program that emphasizes on the importance of
entrepreneurial spirit and a global outlook and integrates the knowledge
of transmedia, global marketplace, project financing, program sales and
marketing and launch and operation of an independent production
company.
It also provides students with numerous opportunities to learn production
techniques through various stages of production in both a crew and
leadership positions. Moreover, it provides industry experience through
field placement.
Program Details
The film program runs for one year through two semesters, covering a
wide range of subjects, such as the business of producing, accounting for
film and television, production management and coordination,
entertainment law, production, financing and funding, additional revenue
streams, international distribution and career management.
In order to apply for this program, the individuals will need to submit a
letter of intent along with their college advanced diploma or university
degree certificates and updated resumes. Centennial College also accepts
the applications of individuals with partial post-secondary education
(minimum two years) with relevant work experience.
