Film Job Information, Production
This site is primarily dedicated to the discussion of film jobs and the production of film; it also covers employment in related industry like advertising and television since all of these employ film techniques and crew protocols and have a similar production pipeline.
Information is divided into the categories you see on the top menu bar;
About:
This page you are reading now. All about the site and its aims and philosophy.
Film Production:
This area aims to cover how a film is put together, the different relationships between the people who work on a film and the day-to-day workplace culture within the film industry. The area focuses on the larger issues and groupings that influence film creation and production rather than the individual roles, such as the politics between departments within a ‘shoot’. It will also discuss film schools and production companies.
Film Jobs:
This section covers each job and discusses its individual merits and challenges, the relationships between jobs and the pathways for career development.
Departments:
The same jobs are discussed as with the Film Job section above but in this case the jobs are located within their respective departments and the departments are also looked at; such as lighting, editing, camera, art, production, post production.
Television:
Whilst the site approaches film from the perspective of ‘cinema’, that is making feature films, most of the discussions will have close relevance to TV and industries that utilise film such as games and advertising. This section will develop and study the differences found in television employment.
Writers:
