unit 10 - self progression looking into jobs and what is needed in my chosen profession

during class today i am looking at what is needed for my chosen job and what goes into having a job in my chosen carer.

i am wanting to go into games design and development , so i am looking into jobs in the gaming industry to get an idea of what roles go alongside my own and were my designated role could take me in a few years time along with this i am looking at what qualification's are needed a how i can achieve those and what education centres i need to go to.

the job i could have include -

• Animator (games) - for this i will need some qualification somewhere in animation for this i will probable need to take a degree in animation or media and also take this at university 
• External producer - there will probably be no major qualification needed and most people are graduates
• Creative director - you don't need no formal qualification for this role useless just a good skill set and creative outlook 
• Games designer - there are no specific qualification for this role however most applicants are graduates 
• Games artist - you need to get a degree in art or some HND in some art subject to do this role 
• Lead artist - you general need a qualification in and art subject such as fine art or graphic designer or animation degree to take this role.
• Level editor - you don't need a qualification for this however most people are graduate who have a degree in fine are graphics or design.  
•  Animation Director or supervisor - you would need a degree in animation or art related degree of some sort to do this role.

As well as looking in the game industry i have also looked at photography as when i was in school i got A* for my photography skills so i though while looking i was to look at this.

• Forensic photographer - for this role you are better off starting as a CSI 
• Assistant photographer - you would need an advanced apprenticeship in photo imagery there are also many colleges which will give you good footing in the industry.

I wa also looking into the more textual  arts rather then just computer based art such as in advertising and marketing communications.

• Graphic Artist - for this role i will need a degree in graphics,art,architecture,theatre,or 3D design you could also take a specialist course in film and/or theatre design.
