Careers

Forecast to grow from 20% in 2020, film is the largest player in the entertainment sector.

Video has become increasingly important in a corporate setting - from advertising and internal communications to PR and event coverage. Brands and media outlets are increasingly using video to convey their message.

Viral videos are attracting larger audiences than commercial TV shows and magazines are expanding their horizons with digital content distributed through smartphone apps. This means that within a booming industry, the career opportunities are extraordinary.
