Should I opt for higher studies or pursue a job after completing a course in film, television and new media production and why?

New media is known to be the new platforms of assimilation, circulation of Information and entertainment. We can take internet as the referred new media here. Film, Television and New Media form the trinity of the whole landscape of media industry. When this is done through a course, a media job must be preferred rather than going for a higher studies option. You may think of opting for higher studies if only- the completed course mentioned above does not have the capability to get you a job. It means the course you have done is not from a place which gets jobs. A vocational course or a course in such fields should be done for the purpose of a job only and this involves a hands-on profile. If one has an interest in making a career based on higher studies and has inclination towards teaching or research, there is no end to higher studies in that case. Choose a job if it comes with strong scope otherwise, higher studies are the suggested option.

Pursuing a job after completing a course in film, television and new media production would be a good option. The programme deals first with the basics of art, graphic design and writing for media and gradually builds upon the basic knowledge to make them ready for the industry. With the advent of digital technology, the editor's work is now done on the computer. To produce commercial-class videos and movies requires advanced technical knowledge and a critical eye for selecting interesting or provocative material. The selection of appropriate equipment, software programs, and production techniques is also vital to the final product. Depending on the industry, some editors may be required to work long hours to meet production deadlines. Many media production graduates become video editors or camera operators. While positions for these jobs are expected to grow, competition for these positions is still expected to be fierce due to a large number of candidates interested in entering the media entertainment industry.
