They blend songs together in order to create a suite of music in which the audience is unaware of the transitions between tracks. Not only does this keep a dance floor energy on a constant flow, it can also sound very good when elements between two songs interact. *Music video director* *Public Relations* They talk to journalists about putting in adverts in news papers, radio, televisions, magazines, billboards , internet etc to promote the song, album, music video,, musician, or singer/band, through the fastest way possible, using the media. *Video set designer* Set designers in any line of work, be it films, music videos, or plays, look at a picture or sketch of the set, design it from scratch to use as a guide when building the set, and use every way possible to create it. They have to gather all the equipment and materials before hand by themselves e.g. All the wood, paint, metal, paintbrushes etc needed to make the props. But they also need to look at the budget they are given and plan the set building out carefully to avoid overspending.. Lastly they have to be creative and inventive with what they have, even if it’s only scraps, lots of money isn’t needed. Money can’t buy dreams. They are driven by a given music track, to create a concept and main focus for the video and direct it, as well as instructing the actors, musicians etc in the video in what ever they do. They also decide what camera shots should be used where and the style the video is shot etc. They are in charge of everything.

4. Performing Arts - Drama *Production Manager* They manage the building of the set, the cost of the transport , the production budget, the costs and times of using the rehearsal room, dealing with the stage manager’s overtime and keeping an eye on the costume design costs and duration. *Dramaturge* A dramaturge is in charge of selecting what is relevant, from the irrelevant information in the script, and deciding which parts of the play script should be cut out, what’s most important etc. They also proofread the script before the actors start rehearsing with it. *Play script writer* This person plans, writes and rewrites the script for the play from scratch, until it meets the director’s standards, needs and wants. The play script is later sent down to the actors, to memorise, rehearse and eventually perform on stage. * Producer * This is a key role, they listen to the director’s ideas and see how these ideas can happen and develop them. They look after the whole budget and use it carefully, adding up the costs, wages etc, as well as juggling different costs on top of others. A producer helps the director when in need and forms a partnership with them, later helping to make important decisions.

He leads the creative team, choreographer, vocal therapist etc. He needs to have an understanding and think about what they want the audience to experience, what appeals to the audience , what kind of actors and stage you’re going to pick, and who you’ll need to recruit . On top of all that, you need to lead the rehearsals and direct and instruct what the producer needs to do, how to promote it, how the actors move, the lighting and music set in each seen, what costumes need to be made and where to get them from, what props need to be made, how the set should be designed and most importantly, how to do all that, and stay within the budget set.

If you’re acting in a musical, you have to be able to sing, act and occasionally dance. In a comedy, you have to learn the dialogue as your main objective is to deliver the story behind the script to the audience. You may also need to sing a little in comedies, but not as much as you’d have to in a musical. He needs to become the character of the role he’s been given and make the play or drama seem so real, that the audience get pulled into their world. *Cameraman* A camera man is a very busy person, they have a lot to do, and not much time to do it. This is why many camera men such as Robert Singer, who directs and produces many fantastic, jaw-dropping Supernatural episodes, uses the 16 shot. This saves time, as you then have many different shots, at different angles, so you can pick your best shots from those. They need to be able to understand the director’s ideas clearly and be able to portray it in the right way, and find a way to achieve what the director asks them to do. They use various camera shots, lighting and angles to attract the audiences attention. *Dialect Coach* They assist an actor in assuming a certain regional accent in order to perform convincingly in radio, theatrical or film productions. Dialect coaches are skilled in diction and linguistics, and don’t necessarily have to have the accent that they’re teaching. *Video editor* An editor gets given all the footage shots filmed during the filming and carves it into the story the director wants to show, by cutting and taking out the deleted scenes and unusable parts.

They have to literally go through thousands of portfolios every day and keep taking interviews.

They have to come up with the whole concept of it and solely create all the characters and setting etc themselves. As the work pile for a comic/ Manga artist is so much, Some artists have assistants who are aspiring artists to help them out for example, some artists roughly sketch our their characters and leave the details to be drawn on by their assistant, or they draw all the characters and main parts themselves, but leave the settings for the assistants etc. However lots of artists prefer to do everything themselves, so that everything is how they want it to be . However when it comes to comics, most of the time, they have separate people writing it, doing the art etc, as it’s easier to meet headlines and there’s not too much stress from work. A game artist is an artist who creates art for one or more types of games. Game artists are responsible for all of the aspects of game development that call for visual art. Game artists are often noted in role-playing games, collectible card games and video games. *Game artist* *Game designer* A game designer is a person who designs game play, conceiving and designing the rules and structures of a game. It is essentially the game equivalent to a screenwriter. The term applies to the designer of any game, whether a video game or tabletop games such as board games or card games. Visual Arts – They gives life to the characters that is needed for the animation/film/show. After reading the storyboard the animator imagines what the scene would be like and reads exposure sheets, which shows the directors' guides for the dialogue, action, FX, and how long the scene would be seen on screen. They then consult with the director on how the scene would be done and start roughly sketching it out, and eventually animating it. After that the scene would be checked by the director to see if the animator made the correct animation for the scene, if there's a mistake it is given back to the animator for corrections (fix up). After that the director checks it again and if it passes then it goes to Clean-up and In-between which is another department in animation production. *Animator*

Generally, an architect is invited to bid on a construction project that is being undertaken by a municipality, private business or non-profit organization. The architect will work on designing a structure that will offer the best of all worlds. Ideally, the completed design will be functional for the purposes envisioned for the building.
