interiors that provide the physical context for the characters. This person is
responsible for acquiring props, decorating sets and making the setting believable.

Directors I could find an article which included figures showing that only
11% of creative directors are women even though women make up for 46%
of the advertising industry.

for example for Breakfast At Tiffany’s

$115,382. In the UK it can average from £18,000 to £100,000 per year, And
the hours are usually 35-40 hours a week.
To become an Art Director studying in a big city would give you more
opportunities as there is more likely to be low budget films, that could be
produced by small production teams or students but even amateur roles
mean that you gain experience and through small roles you gain contacts
who might want to use you again for bigger productions in the future.

There are a lot of different branches for art directors depending on what
they’re interested in. Art Directors can work in advertising agencies, in book
and magazine production, or newspaper publishers to create designs and
layouts. They also work with producers and directors of theater, television,
or movie productions to oversee set designs.

4. Sound engineers
A Sound Engineer is the member of a film/television crew responsible
for recording all sound recording on set, the sound engineer is a vital
part of the film production because music and sound effects can tie
together a scene and add the appropriate tension or emotion which
can make the audience relate or sympathize with the character and
therefore the audience feels more connected with the film/ TV
show/music video.
There are a lot of branches that come from sound engineers, e.g;
sound operator, boom operator, sound technician and recordist, so a
sound engineer doesn't’t work alone there are a lot of people working
together to make the sound most effective.
To become a Sound Engineer
To be a sound engineer you must have qualifications to have a basis
knowledge, you don’t need a degree, but to become a successful sound
engineer you must have understanding of the job and have the
capability to stand out with new ideas to bring to different jobs. You
also need work experience to be taken seriously, as not many
productions world give responsibilities to an amateur to start work on
the production.
Salary
Depending on the production and what role you have, In an
established studio or in television and radio, starting salaries may be in
the region of £17,000 to £19,000. However, if you are an experienced
technician then rise to salaries upward of £30,000.
As a sound technician, you'll frequently have to work long days and
unsocial hours, the average working day is ten hours, including
