The working culture of the film industry is very different to typical 9-5 office jobs. You have to be exceptionally adaptation and flexible, as you sometimes have to work unsocial hours and locations. The probability of these irregular hours and demanding work mean that dedication, enthusiasm and resourcefulness stand out as qualities that help new entrants get noticed. short-term employment and unpredictable job stability. Work is often last-minute and requires a great deal of flexibility, particularly in production.
Although some fixed employment opportunities exist, a great deal of the work is freelance and so often people have additional part-time work to support themselves and need forethought for stretching their income over periods of unemployment. To work in the industry you have to have the initiative and confidence to work freelance, and not always have that secure unmoving work. For me especially going into directing and cinematography, I need to be very good at working with people, leading teams, and communicating. As well as thinking on my feet and having very clear artistic visions
