2.3 – Outline the potential progression routes into the film industry and wider sector

What could be your potential progression route into the film industry?

• After being involved with the BFI film academy production in Wem, i have discovered that i would like to follow the creative route into film and television production, focusing on the art department, in areas such as set and production design, and concept art or possibly animation. I could follow a university route, doing a course in fine art, or a specialist course such as concept art and set design or production design, `I could also look at 3D art and model and set designing. I am also looking for work experience, such as a model making and game design company that have a team of concept artists and designers, that look at both set design and character.
• I could also further develop my skills in illustration and animation, by making my own stop motion films and designing sets and making models. 
• Through the BFI academy, there are also options available to make connections with networks and be introduced to courses and companies that specialise in working in film and television, as well as other medias.
