Unit 8: Understanding the TV and Film Industries - Task 2


In groups we created a flow chart of job roles in the industry and the different departments. Each department is linked to another through certain people being involved within other departments.

I researched the three job roles:
First Assistant Director (Management)
Title Designer (Technical)
Production Buyer (Creative)

One thing running parallel between the different jobs is a driving license. This makes sense as most shoots take place in different locations. It was interesting to see the differences between the different departments. In management, most of the time no qualification is needed for you to get the job. All that is needed is specific experience in the field of work. All workers in management need in-depth knowledge of up to date health and safety legislation and procedures. In the editing department a degree is necessary. It's advised you have a strong portfolio, this is vital as this is such a highly competitive area. In the art department  there is no formal training or qualification needed.
