Producer/Director

Experience would be required in producing films at edit stage; managing a team; building narrative. You would be an accomplished self-starter with strong negotiating and research skills; sound knowledge of producer guidelines and the law as it affects journalists. You will need to have experience with casting characters and making key editorial decisions. Technically there is no requirements to become a filmer/producer, however a knowledge about cameras and film production helps a lot, you can’t just roll onto the scene and because a top camera man. Also work experience would help.

Common career paths would be to train as a journalist in print, radio or as a researcher in television. From there progressing to senior researcher in television, then an Assistant Producer and then Producer and/or Director. Technical skills in Production such as Camera, Sound, Lighting, Editing, Art, and Engineering are also common career paths. You will always find directors who for example, perhaps did a Politics degree, then were sound recordists and then a Director. Producers of TV Drama for example, can come from a variety of backgrounds and routes. They may have done Drama or English at university; they may have worked in the theatre afterwards and then progressed to script reading or writing, or continuity in television. But there are Producers who did none of these things, and took other routes such as moving from Production Secretary to Producer.

Producers and directors work under a lot of pressure, and most are under constant stress to find their next job. Work assignments are usually short, ranging from 1 day to a few months. Therefore, they also often hold another job to make a living.
