Creative Media Production Session 3 - Job Roles In The Creative Media Industries

The Historical relationship between creative media production and the creative media industries is TOO EPIC a subject for me to deal with right now. Let's get a few easier criteria tucked away first.

The third learning outcome of this unit is about the different roles and relationships that exist between different types of job in the film industry

"LO3 Evaluate the roles and relationships within a specific area of creative media production"

Today I simply want you to give me a detailed outline of the type of jobs that are available in the film industry. Do this as follows.

1. Have a look at the following links and get yourself acquainted with what types of job are available in the film industry. Try and read about not just the creative jobs, but also production jobs, management jobs, technical jobs and support roles. For each of these types of jobs I'm going to want you to describe a particular job role so take notes as you read if needs be.

3. Give me detailed descriptions of AT LEAST one 'creative' job, one production job, one management job, one technical job, and one support job in the film industry. For each of these job descriptions I want to know

(a) what the job role entails.
(b) what skills it needs
(c) who you'll liase with most closely in that job

4. Once you have AT LEAST FOUR job descriptions completed check out any links you didn't look at for any extra info you can give. Feel free to add more job descriptors if you wish but make sure you tell me the three things I've asked for in each one. Throughout your work on this unit please graphically illustrate things with images/relevant videos where appropriate.

5. Finally, PUBLISH that blogpost making sure to tag it with the labels INDUSTRY and JOB ROLES

What you should end up with: at least FOUR job descriptions of jobs within the film industry
