Key jobs in the film industry

The BBFC stand for British board of film classification. The British Board of Film Classification is an independent, non-governmental body which has classified cinema films since it was set up in 1912 and videos/ DVDs since the Video Recordings Act was passed in 1984.

In order to protect children from unsuitable and even harmful content in films and videos, the BBFC examines and age rates films and videos before they are released. Films for theatrical release are normally classified by at least two Examiners using the published Guidelines. Examiners look at issues such as discrimination, drugs, horror, language, nudity, sex, sexual violence, theme and violence when making decisions. They also consider context and the tone and impact of it (how it makes the audience feel).

The role of the Designer is to create the 'look and feel' of an interactive media product. What this actually involves can vary, depending on the size of team the Designer is part of, or the type of company they are working for. The role often overlaps with the producer, especially in more senior positions, or where the Designer is working alone or in a very small team.

The Designer must combine creativity with an awareness of the tools and technologies that will be used to build the product, and an understanding of what these can and cannot do.

The role of the Developer is to create an interactive media product. Sometimes this will be according to designs created by someone else (such as a Designer), but other times the Developer may design the product as well. The role generally overlaps with the Designer and Programmer, although the actual amount of design work involved may vary depending on things like the type or size of the organisation the Developer is working for.

Producers are responsible for identifying and specifying an interactive media product’s high-level requirements or purpose, and ensuring that its business objectives and creative vision are understood and maintained by everyone involved in the project. This is a senior, client-facing role that requires combinations of expertise in business, management, content, design and technical disciplines. It has a close relationship with the Project Manager role, but focuses on the project’s creative requirements rather than the mechanics of running it. The two roles are often combined, however. The Producer role also frequently overlaps with that of Information Architect. Interactive media companies usually prefer to keep the Producer role in-house, so this tends to be a permanently employed position. However, there is a shortage of experienced Producers, so freelance and contract opportunities are still available.
