Types of work and Rates
Filmmakers can take different career paths to get to the desired job role. Some filmmakers will finish their studies of the film and TV industry and find a job as a runner for example the BBC. They could then continue being employed by the BBC for different roles. A popular choice of employment is being freelance. In 1990 the Broadcasting Act was put in place which means companies like the BBC now have to source 25% of its output from independent production companies.

I personally would like to be a freelance cameraman and producer in TV documentaries. Companies like BECTU would help me understand how much going rates are for my line of work. BECTU also have rates for other departments, for example Lighting Technicians (Major Studio Feature Film) the weekly rate when working a 12-hour day is £1450. They also provide information about recent news to do with the role like the rates for lighting technicians has increased by 14 per cent.
