This life in sound and pictures
Ninety-nine per cent of the UK population watch television, most of us have video recorders and, increasingly, DVD players. We go to the cinema, we listen to the radio, we talk about programmes and films, we live with the cult of the celebrityÃItïs not surprising then that so many of us want to work in film, video, television and radio.

What are the job prospects in film, video, TV and radio?
Every year thousands of people do seriously consider a career in these areas - far more than there are jobs available. They are tough, competitive industries and you have to be really committed to what you do. Many people work freelance (self-employed) and have to 'pitch' for each contract whenever they have to seek employment. However, for a minority, at the top of their fields, the rewards are high.
