For each of them roles, I would have to describe the following:
- Who would I be working for? (Name of the company and what they do)
- What would the role involve?
- Who would employ me to do it?
- The types of contract that might be involved
- The working patterns associated with that type of work
- Any ethical and legal considerations associated with it
- How would you get that type of job? (What experience, skills and qualifications would I need? How would I find out about the job?)
- How well paid do you think it would be?
- How would I make a career our of it? Where/what would it lead to?
Runner - I would be working for a production company in this job, or a studio like the BBC, I would be attached to one show, for a short period of time. The role will involve me being responsible for fetching and carrying and doing most of the odd-jobs of a production. The role is usually to support anyone who needs help in a variety of ways. I would be employed by the producer to do this role on a hourly contract. The working patterns in this job role would differ I imagine from a typical 9-5 job (if this was a television series in front of a live studio audience) or to be working for them at all hours, as long as they needed me.
I would have to volunteer to be in this position or send in my Cv and be asked for a interview. Although I wouldn't need as much skills and experience that I would for other positions in the industry, I would need to show a interest in the industry and show that I have been wanting to get into the industry. I wouldn't have the biggest salary but working as a runner will put my foot in the door and help me progress up higher through the industry. The higher position I am hoping it will lead me to is a writer.
Writer - Who I would be working for depends on who hires me as writers are freelance, but it would be a producer who would look for my work and hire me, or who I would send my work in to be looked at and then maybe brought on board. The role would involve me writing my own original work or adapting someone else's written, acted or told stories. With it being freelance work, it means my pay would be the one of, I would get paid, say 10k for my work and then not see another penny. Again, with it being freelance works, it would mean my working hours are slightly erratic, I would have a deadline to hit but then after that would maybe not see any work for a few weeks, or months. The ethical or legal requirements that I could run into would be copyright issues.
I would get this job by sending in my written work, or be sought out by a production studio to work on their team. I would need to have experience with writing scripts/screenplays, I would have to show that I have excellent literacy skills. With me only getting a one off payment, and me working freelance, I would be getting a big pay check. Depending on how much of my work gets seen and made is depending on how good a career this could be for me.
Director - This would be the highest that I would reach for in the industry. This would be another free lance job in which I would be hired by different production studios. I would be in charge of the actors and film crew on set. They control the films artistic and dramatic look and technically guides the rest of the crew. To get the position I would have to send in my Cv or be sought out by a studio. I would have to have a lot of experience in the industry to land the role. I would be extremely well paid, but once again, with it being free lance work, I wouldn't be financially stable. As for the hours I would be working, I would be working at all hours, any days, due to filming times and schedules.
