The dancing baby featured above is also a computer design that has been used on tv. So you see that computers have had a tremendous and lasting effect on the film industry but making a good film involves more than just creating images, it involves good acting and special effects. For example, when gun shots are made in movies obviously the gun is filled with blanks and cannot fire but a bang is created and a set reaction causes an explosion that results in some kind of jelly splattering the victim or for a more gruesome effect the fake blood is splattered on a window. There are several jobs in the film industry which you can apply for. Most commonly people are interested in acting, directing or producing but another important career is film editing.
Film editors work sequence by sequence, eventually putting sequences together for the final product.
Editors may then determine specific audio and visual effects and music necessary to complete the film. If considering a career as a film editor you should receive formal education in cinema. A resume of education and experience should be sent to independent and commercial producers. Major production studios do hire apprentices but remember, it is difficult to get started even with an education since most major motion picture studios are bound by union contracts in film editing. Since this is not an easy industry to penetrate make sure you submit as many resumes and applications as possible.
