::: Film Career Specialties :::



  • Actor: Actors are the performers in television, video, and motion pictures. A performance may include stunt work, narration/voiceovers, or a cameo appearance.
  • Animator: Animators, or multi-media artists, primarily use computers and illustrations to create animated television shows, movies, and commercials.
  • Art Director: Art directors design a set to reflect mood and circumstance as dictated by a script. An art director is also responsible for working with costume designers, make up artists, and hair stylists.
  • Camera Operator: A camera operator shoots film of the performance. Some specialize in commercial filming. Camera operators work closely with those responsible for lighting, equipment maintenance, and photography to achieve a good shot.
  • Cinematographer: The cinematographer is responsible for composing a shot to be sure the camera accurately captures what is being delivered in a scene.
  • Director: The director is responsible for every aspect of a production, from auditions to music to accommodations, and leads the cast and crew during filming to achieve a successful final production.
  • Film and Video Editor: Editors compose the final production by selecting the best shots and splicing them to most effectively capture the mood, pace, and drama of a particular production.
  • Producer: Producers are charged with managing business and financial aspects of a production. Everything from script selection, budget development, and hiring falls under the discretion of a producer.
  • Screen Writer: A screen writer either develops a script from an original idea or adapts an existing body of work.
  • Set Designer: Set designers recreate the time period and location established in a script by designing, and possibly constructing, a set that projects the time and place through architectural and other visual details.
  • Sound Engineers: Sound engineering technicians are responsible for all the recording of sound during filming.
  • Special Effects Director: The special effect director uses computers to creatively alter filmed images to generate interesting effects.
