As featured on the
Australian Film Commission website
Do you want to get into television?
Would you like to produce a top-rating television show?
Do you have a desire to write a blockbuster film script for the movies?
Imagine having an exciting job creating television programs that will be watched by thousands, or millions, of viewers around the country.
The television and film industry offers some of the most exciting and lucratively rewarding jobs available.
As a television extra for shows and commercials you may find yourself appearing on a daily drama or on the shopping channel. You may meet all kinds of people: actors, producers or even famous stars. Most people think you need to be a star to work in television. You don’t. With the expanding world of network television, satellite, DVD, and digital pay-to-view — there are literally thousands of opportunities within the sidelines of television. With nearly 100 channels, and more launching all the time, there is an increasing need for people to work behind the scenes. TV show producers, for instance, can earn salaries of $80,000 or more. You need to keep in mind that there are thousands of producers in the TV industry. Then there are the field directors, programme coordinators and so on.
If you head towards the career of a television producer, field director or program director you may be involved in everything from coming up with ideas for new shows to hiring the stars and supervising shooting. You will have a rewarding and creative job that lets you see the results of your work.
If you decide to write scripts for television, film or video then you could find yourself developing the next blockbuster.
This course takes you through every possible aspect of entry level television, from getting a job as a TV extra or show runner to starting a lucrative career as a producer, director or on-camera presenter. You then explore the world of scriptwriting, learning how to write for television, film and video. You will actually develop your own screenplay and even learn how to market it.
It's a fabulous industry and one that nearly anyone can have if they want.
Career opportunities include: Television Producer/Director, Field Producer, Production Assistant, Television Presenter, TV/Movie Extra, Runner, Screenwriter, Scriptwriter for TV/Film/Video*.
Industries include: television, film, corporate/educational videos.
A television production assistant could undertake any sort of role behind the scenes. This could be a clerical assistance role compiling program requirements. It could be assisting with the research of background material, the organising of props, or just about anything from typing to working on the production crew.
Film and television producers oversee the whole process of production, drawing all of the aspects of a show or movie together. They manage the budget, hire staff, organise and supervise script development, and coordinate sets, locations and equipment. Sometimes the producer's role is combined with the role of directing.
Film, television and video scriptwriters come up with ideas for movies, shows or vidoes and develop a script right through from first draft to completion. In most cases the scriptwriter will need to market their final script to the media, corporate or educational industry.
*Note: Many people ask what the difference is between scriptwriting and screenwriting.
Scriptwriting involves many areas. A scriptwriter can write scripts for television, radio, political speeches, VIP presentations, film, video stage, music even games. Scriptwriting is not limited to just writing scripts for the movies. A script is the text or manuscript (dialogue, instructions, etc.) for a movie, television program, radio program, and so on. 'Script' comes from the word 'manuscript' so it's a bit like the manuscript for a book except that it's for a different form of media. Screenwriting is actually writing a script for the screen (movie screen, television screen, video screen, even a computer screen). This is the difference between scriptwriting and screenwriting. This course focuses on writing scripts for television, film and video—screenwriting.
