1.2 Written report on the creative and media employment roles and requirements in a chosen region
Presentation given by Ms Dowdie
1st October 2010
Ms Dowdie, Employer Engagement Officer, gave the creative media students a presentation on creative and media careers.
The creative and media industries combined make one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK economy.
It can be divided into four broad sub-sectors - content, design, performing arts, and heritage and tourism. The sectors in this industry include:
• Advertising
• Architecture
• Art and antiques
• Computer and video games
• Crafts
• Design
• Fashion design
• Film and video
• Music
• Performing arts
• Publishing
- Photography
• Software
• Television and radio
She taught us the key things that drive people into the creative and media industries sector; the UK has been focusing on improving seven areas, which drive productivity in the sector:
• Education
• Competition and intellectual property (IP)
• Technology
• Business support (including access to finance)
• Diversity
• Infrastructure
• Evidence and analysis
From the example that Ms Dowdie gave us of industries in the sector was Photography. So I will be doing some research in the industry to see if it is an industry that interests me.
Photography
Photography is the process, activity, and art of creating still pictures by recording radiation on a radiation-sensitive medium, such as a photographic film, or electronic image sensors. Photography uses foremost radiation in the UV,visible and near-IR spectrum. For common purposes the term light is used instead of radiation. Light reflected or emitted from objects form a real image on a light sensitive area (film or plate) or a FPA pixel array sensor by means of a pin hole or lens in a device known as a camera during a timed exposure. The result on film or plate is a latent image, subsequently developed into a visual image (negative or diapositive). An image on paper base is known as aprint. The result on the FPA pixel array sensor is an electrical charge at each pixel which is electronically processed and stored in a computer (raster)-image file for subsequent display or processing. Photography has many uses for business, science, manufacturing (f.i. Photolithography), art, and recreational purposes.

Producer
Producers are highly self-motivated individuals, who have the final responsibility for all aspects of a film's production. He or she is frequently the first person to become involved in a project; they participate directly in all the main producing phases; and see the project through production, to post-production, marketing and distribution. The Producer's is role to turn story ideas into profitable cinematic entertainment, and to persuade others to share in his or her commercial and creative vision. Producers usually report to the production company, or to the Executive Producers appointed to supervise the production on behalf of the financiers and Distributors.
Responsibilities
Producers have overall control on every aspect of a film's production, bringing together the Screenwriters, Director, cast, finances and production team. Their primary responsibility is to foster an environment in which the creative talents of the cast and crew can flourish - Producers are therefore ultimately accountable for the success of the finished film. Producers many responsibilities span all four phases of production:
· Development - Producers are often responsible for coming up with the underlying premise of a production, or for selecting the screenplay. Producers secure the necessary rights, select the screenwriter and story editing team, raise the development financing, and supervise the development process.
· Pre-production - Producers typically bring together the key members of the creative team, including the Director, Cinematographer and principal cast..
Post-production and marketing - Producers are expected to liaise personally with post-production personnel, including the Editor, Composer, and Visual Effects staff. They then consult with all creative and financial personnel on the production of the answer (or final) print, and they are usually involved with the financial and distribution entities in planning the marketing and distribution of the finished film.

Camera Operators usually begin work at the end of pre–production and, if the budget allows, attend the technical recces with other Heads of Department..Camera Operators ensure that the camera and associated equipment are prepared for the required set–ups, always keeping alert for any last–minute changes. They must be able to multi–task, and to watch, listen and think on their feet while carrying out complex technical tasks. They liaise closely with the Director, fine–tuning the exact details of each shot, which often involves suggesting creative improvements or alternatives. They supervise the logistics of moving the camera, and oversee the Camera maintenance work carried out by the Focus Puller and the 2nd AC.
Camera Operators work closely with performers, guiding them on what can and cannot be seen by the camera. As it is now common for DoPs to also operate the camera on smaller films, many Camera Operators specialise in the operation of other precision equipment, such as Remote Heads or Steadicam, and most also work on commercials, promos and television drama. On bigger budget films, the role of the Camera Operator remains a crucial link between the creative ambitions of the Director, and other major departments, including Art, Hair and Make–Up and Costume.
