Topics will include:
FINDING YOUR CAREER PATH:
We will begin the day with an introduction to the film industry and discuss the best ways to find your own unique career path. We'll outline the variety of sectors and jobs within the film industry to help you decide which one might be the best for you.
FINDING AN AGENT:
Whether you're an actor, director or camera operator, if you want to have a steady stream of jobs as a freelancer an agent can really help. We will hold talks with both freelancers and agents to show how the relationship works, how to find an agent and how to make sure that you get the most out of that relationship.
CLIENT ACQUISITION & FINDING FREELANCE WORK
Learn the ins and outs of how to find a consistent stream of clients to support your freelance career. We'll discuss how successful freelancers build their client data base and how you can do the same!
FINDING FULL TIME WORK
Freelancing is not for everyone. Constantly looking for your next job can get exhausting and some filmmakers prefer a full time job in the industry. We will discuss what kind of full time jobs exist, what you can expect and how to find and apply for them to maximise your chance getting employed.
CREATING THE PERFECT CV & PORTFOLIO
Whether you're a freelancer or looking for a full time job you will need a CV and portfolio. We will talk through what each of those should contain and how they should be presented depending on what kind of job you're applying for.
