Film and Broadcast Careers in the Military

May 12, 2009 By admin

Some people are surprised to find a large number of broadcast and audiovisual, including film, careers in the military.

Its not surprising, however, that many who follow this career path in the military quickly find jobs in the civilian sector.

There are movies and video tapes or DVDs produced in the military, as well as television and radio broadcasts. Gaining experience in these popular fields has proven to be crucial in finding post-military employment.

The military may use these productions in different ways, including for training, to gather news, or simply to entertain the soldiers.

Directors manage the team of audiovisual specialists to produce these materials, and often have subordinate directors whom they supervise and instruct.

The directors have camera people, writers, and editors on their staffs, as well as other professionals, to make these audio visual materials as strong and pertinent as they can possibly be.

Directors organize the planning and production of films and other projects, like radio broadcasts and television shows.

They will have the responsibility for determining what equipment will be needed for a certain production, and for being sure the staff is trained to operate it. They will find skilled and effective talent ? actors and broadcast professionals ? to help them complete a project.

The directors manage the camera crew, the writers and the support staff to create an excellent production, and they supervise script development and shooting schedules for the productions, as well as dealing with actors and instructing them.

    I’m too old to join (41). I’m actually looking into working WITH the military as a broadcast journalist.

    I am a Marine Corps veteran and recently graduated with my degree in Mass Communication (Broadcasting/Journalism) with a Minor in Public Relations.

    I appreciate any and all help anyone can provide.

    Thanks!
