Film and television professionals work both in front of and behind cameras to create movies, television shows, newscasts, cartoons, and other forms of entertainment or information resources. Career paths include actors, directors, producers, camera operators, production designers, reporters, and news anchors. Those who work in front of the camera must be confident and creative and have top-notch communication skills. Those who work in support roles are typically detail-oriented and good problem-solvers, and have strong organizational and time-management skills.
