Film industry
There are quite a few leading companies in media, which are dreamworks, hollywood, BBC, universal studios, paramount classics, sony. There are quite a variety of jobs you can apply for in the media industry. All these are film industrys, apart from BBC, which is a news broadcasting industry. Whether you are looking for work experience or your first job, breaking into the media industry can be tough. Many people want to work in the media, but the number of opportunities is small and positions are rarely advertised. Even at entry level the competition is fierce and employers are looking for people who demonstrate a genuine commitment to a career in the media industry. They are also looking for people with excellent communication skills, as most jobs involve working as a team. 90% of jobs in this industry are filled through word of mouth, so good people skills are essential from every point of view.
The key to success is to research and prepare thoroughly before you approach any employer for work or work experience. You will need to
Research the media industry and get a good understanding of the job roles you are interested in. Find out about possible career paths and check if you need any specific qualifications. Be passionate about the kind of programmes you want to work on. Demonstrate your commitment through the activities and projects you do in your spare time. Find out as much as you can about potential local and national employers
Target companies where there is a genuine match between their needs and the skills you can offer.
Whether you are looking for work or work experience, the competition is fierce. You’ll need more than the right qualification, work experience or attitude. You’ll need to demonstrate how your unique combination of knowledge, skills, experience, training and personal qualities makes you more employable than the next person. Companies, broadcasters and individuals receive hundreds of CV's every week, so getting yours noticed isn't easy. You should always aim to ensure a good “fit” between the skills and attributes you can offer and the particular needs of any employer that you target. I would like to work in the film production in media industry. I am do lots of research.
Journalism
The main companies of journalism are, the sun, news of the world, the mirror, daily mail, take a break. To get into journalism, you need to be good at writing so that the public will enjoy what they are reading. In the interview you will need to demonstrate the skills that you have so that the employers will take notice of you. Journalists go out and find stories to write about. Journalists are people who go out and find out information to write up a report or story so they public understand whats going on and so they can read information that may affect them.
Photography
To be involved in the photography industry, you must be good at taking pictures.
Spend more time concentrating on one shot is my advice. Treat your composition as a painter would, look around every part of the frame. Is this image expressing what you see in the best possible way? Would a lower/higher viewpoint be better? Would it work better with a slower shutter speed or a wider aperture? Is the foreground really interesting enough? These are the sort of questions I ask myself while I'm framing up my subject. Then once you've got a great composition, sure, take several at different exposures to make sure it's in the bag, but don't snap away without thinking. Taking snaps is like going fishing for tiddlers
Video games
A video game is a computer-controlled game where a video display such as a monitor or television is the primary feedback device. There always must also be some sort of input device, usually in the form of button/joystick combinations (on arcade games), a keyboard & mouse/trackball combination (computer games), or a controller (console games), or a combination of any of the above. Usually there are rules and goals, but in more open-ended games the player may be free to do whatever they like within the confines of the virtual universe. To be involved in the video game industry, you must be good at maths and I.T because thats what the basics of computer games are. Video games first started to be produced in the 1970's but these were quite clumsy devices where you had to use a joystick and other such items, they were used on a black and white television. Video games are quite hard to produce and the goal is to entertain the user. Some products have over 400 people taking part to make is as good as possible. In some games, glitches and or cheats have appeared where some players can hack the system and add things to it. To counter it the game designers add updates (pacthes) to stop the glitches.
