University Of Leeds - New Media - This, much like Experimental Film making appeals to me due to it being new, the last thing I wanted to do in Uni is a 3 year course, learning and doing the exact same things I did and learned in college.
Job Roles In The Media:
I have been looking into job roles in the industry for close to a year now, which has led me to sign up to a E-mail service called "My First Job In Film" http://www.myfirstjobinfilm.co.uk/index.html
This is were I will be looking into jobs.
The different areas in which this site breaks down the job roles are:
Development - Turning ideas into completed scripts ready to be made.
Financing And Pre-Sale - ensuring the necessary money is found to fund the film.
Production (& Pre-Production) - the shooting phrase
Post Production - bringing together and modifying the different elements to create the finished film.
Sales, Distribution & Exhibition - getting the film out to an audience.
RUNNER - This will realistically be my first job in the industry, it will be my way of getting my foot in the door. In this position, I will be 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, until I would then learn enough to progress.
My ideal role would be a Writer, it would be my role to write an original script or adapt other written, acted or told stories. Upon doing a bit of research I learnt a few things. Most professional screenwriters are unionized and are represented by organizations such as the WGA. There are also different types of writers, such as a head writer, this is a person who oversees a team of writers on a television or radio series. The title is common in the soap opera genre, as well as with sketch comedies and talk shows that feature monologues and comedy skits.
Screenwriters are people who write/create the short or feature-length screenplays from which films and television programs are based.
