Producer

As a producer, you will oversee the entire video production process, from idea development to final delivery. You will coordinate teams, manage budgets, and ensure that projects meet creative and strategic goals. Producers work closely with writers, directors, and editors to bring a vision to life while keeping projects on schedule and within scope.

Videographer

As a videographer, you will be responsible for capturing high-quality visuals that tell a compelling story. You will operate cameras, frame shots, and use lighting and composition techniques to create engaging content. Whether filming news pieces, advertisements, documentaries, or short films, videographers bring stories to life through their technical and artistic skills.

Video Editor

The editor puts together (cuts) the pictures and sound. Films tend not to be shot in the order in which the story unfolds so that editors might work on scenes from the film's end before the beginning. Their job is to take scenes out of story order and edit them piece by piece into a whole video.
