Career questions tagged video-production
What education and experience requirements are there for basic backstage theatre/entertainment jobs (ie. prop assistant, set assistant, PA, set painter, etc.)?
No offense to any of those jobs -- I'm currently in a remedial school and not very confident about graduating, let alone any type of college. Not exactly in the spot to pay for certifications either. Do I need a diploma or training to compete for those jobs, or do I have a chance at a local theater/low-budget production? Is volunteering at a local theater worth my time currently, or should I just focus on school?

How do I enter the entertainment industry through hard work and talent?
I want to become a director of some sort of entertainment media but I often get the sense that to even get an opportunity you have to be well connected to powerful or influential people. I know talent isn't always the most important factor to getting noticed, but, is there a way to become a leader in the entertainment industry through self made opportunities? If so, what are the most effective steps to take?

I been in video production since freshmen year, only missing one year as my new school didn't tell me it had a CTAE class about film. (I'm a senior this year) Despite all this, I wish I had more experience. I bought a camera off of eBay (SonyA100) so I can get more personal experience with cameras.

Getting a Job as a Production Director
I'm currently a senior in High School who is interested in pursuing a career in Video Production. I have a few questions that would greatly help me in understanding the industry and choosing my first steps wisely: 1. What major is best suited for getting a job on a Film/Television set? 2. How long does it take to work up the job hierarchy from a PA to a Production Director. 3. What activities should I be doing besides school to make my resume more attractive to hiring managers. 4. Should I try to make a name for myself in the Indie scene or focus on getting acquainted with the corporate environment of bigger production studios, even if that means working for minimum wage with little responsibilities. 5. What is the best way to network with people already established in the industry? Should I go to festivals or use social media?
