Film Industry

some jobs in this media sector include directors, sound engineers, runners, producers, production designers, cinematographer, director of photography, costume designer, make up artist and hair stylists.

The jobs I'm most interested in are production design and directing.
These jobs are not entry level.

In production design there is an emphasis on who you know rather than what qualifications you hold although art and film based degrees such as film production are very important.

This is because you get to meet other people going into the industry and also develop the skills required for this job.

As the head of the largest department on a film crew, you must have extensive experience gained over a number of years. You would usually start as a Junior Draughtsman, moving on to Draughtsman, Assistant Art Director and Art Director.

If you graduate in film and theatre design, you will need to gain experience working on short films before progressing to junior roles on feature films.

The job involves working in a freelance basis.

Production Designers are major heads of department on film crews, and are responsible for the entire art department.

They help Directors to define and achieve the look and feel of a film. 

Production Designers deliver their design sketches (showing mood, atmosphere, lighting, composition, colour and texture) to Art Directors who oversee the production of technical drawings and models, which are used by the Construction Department to build the sets and adapt locations. Props Buyers and Set Decorators source props and organise the manufacture of specialist items. 

Although Game of Thrones is a TV series, it is one of biggest shows on television at the moment and has a lot of emphasis on production design.
