Being part of a team that produces film, TV, or digital content -- it's one of the most satisfying jobs in the world. But it also requires hard work, long hours, and a fine-tuned ability to communicate and collaborate. Taking an overview approach, this program explores the challenges and rewards of working in the media industry. Viewers learn about the skill sets of a wide range of creative and administrative personnel, from on-camera to front-office positions, without which a media production or company can't function. The video also discusses the profound technological changes that have taken place in the media industry during recent years and provides tips for effective communication in a creative, team-driven environment.
