Job roles in the media sector

Job roles in the media sector

There are many different job roles on the media sector and they all are very different to each other. Freelance basically means that you are self employed and you can get hired to work for different companies. Working freelance is good because you can work with different people and you can work on loads of different things, for example a company might contact you and ask if you can make a short film for them, and then once you have finished that project you then have to start looking for a new one. The downside with freelance is that you wont always find jobs, you need to network and make yourself marketable so that people will want to go to you before anyone else.
The range of job roles on the creative media sector can range from being an actor to simply being a runner. There are a variety of different methods of employment, which gives people the flexibility to find a job role that suits there needs and what they would like to be, the creative industry are there to help create the scene to make it a better experience for the audience. Time management is really important in the film industry as if you dont keep track of time then things can get out of hand. you would need to show a professional attitude to time management  by making things like film logs which are a great way to keep track of events.

Personal Profile
I am a very punctual, hardworking person that strives to make this the best they can be. I have a passion for the film industry and is very keen to meet deadlines. Through out education i have been interested in film and media and even did a media course in GCSE which involved lots of filming and editing. Now that i am in college doing a media course, we have learned more about the industry and how certain job roles work. We have learned plenty of skills that can help us do our job correctly.

Work experience 

I had work expirience at a shop called JG windows which is a music shop in Darlington. Working there made me more social and more of a confident person, this is because i had to interact with customers and work as a team to get things completed.
