The history of film began in the late 1880s with the invention of the first movie camera. Motion pictures were initially exhibited as a carnival novelty and developed to one of the most important
tools of communication and entertainment.
Most films before 1930 were totally silent. Motion Picture films have substantially affected the arts and technology.The movie theatre was considered cheaper a simple way to provide entertainment to the masses. Movies became the most popular visual arts from the late Victorian age. It was simple because before the cinema people would have to travel long distances to see
their the movies.
During the first decade of the cinema's existence, inventors worked to improve
the machines for making and showing films.
Radio
In the radio they are 22,000 people employed every year in the UK alone
At a time when the range of platforms for distribution of audio content is increasing, and media and telecommunications are converging across the board, defining what we mean by the "radio industry" now, or what it may become in future, is a challenge.
As a starting point, Creative Skill set's work in developing a skills strategy and action plan for radio focuses mainly on those organisations that provide licensed radio services under the regulation.
- BBC
- TFM
- Captial Radio
- Kiss Radio
Advertising
The Advertising industry generates about £6.2 billion annually for the UK economy.
The skills needs of the 13,000 companies and almost 250,000 individuals who work in the UK advertising industry are now being looked after by Creative Skill set, working with the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising.
Appearing knowledgeable about a sector can take you far in any industry. Magazines like Campaign or online zines like Brand Republic present the latest news as well as jobs. It is important for any new entrant to advertising to have a good understanding of the issues effecting the sector.
Production (Content)
Roles are largely creative and include: Account Executive, Advertising Executive, Commissioner, Client Executive (who may be someone such as Head of Marketing or Head of Communications), Producer, Director, Researcher, Writer and Copywriter.
Production (Technical)
These roles are highly skilled. Technical problem solving is key and technical staff need to keep up to date with the latest technologies are key. Roles include Camera, Sound, Lighting, Editing, Art, SFX, Printer ECT..
There are opportunities for reliable Assistants to most technical roles in Advertising and this may be the best route for people interested in this area of work to target. In addition to the technical skills, employers and producers will look for flexibility, a friendly personality, a “can do” attitude and the ability to be friendly or totally silent when with clients.
Admin and support rolesLike all industries, commercials relies on a body of highly skilled support staff such as Production Managers, Production Accountants, Lawyers, Pa's and so on. This area of work is relatively conventional for most roles, as advertisers operate in the same way as most other forms of business.
Photography
The total Photo Imaging workforce comprises around 44,000 people
The Photo Imaging industry is made up of 8,700 companies, two
thirds (68%) of which are sole trading or freelance photographers.
The remaining companies can be broadly divided into the following
categories:
- Image producers (including laboratories and mini labs)
- Photo retail
- Picture libraries and agencies
- Manufacturers
- Support services (e.g. equipment hire and repair)
The photo imaging industry has a highly skilled and
well qualified workforce, compared to the entire
UK population
of working age.
The photo imaging industry has a relatively low proportion of
people from minority ethnic groups, compared to both the local
populations where the workforce is based and to the wider UK economy
Across the industry as a whole.
These are cited as the greatest training needs at all levels, to keep up to
date generally with new technology and to support career development.
The photo imaging sector places high value on private training
provision, such as that currently delivered through professional and
trade associations and industry vendors, as well as specialist private
providers. This provision is perceived as being more relevant and accessible,
although it is rarely linked to any formal qualification structure.
Specific groups have highlighted the need to accredit their
ongoing Continuing Professional Development training and are keen to base this
around nationally recognised qualifications.Publishing
