FILM

A $400 million funding boost has been provided by the Federal Government over the next seven years for local and international productions. With the addition of new production facilities and studio services in Australia including the new Docklands precinct in Melbourne, the new Byron Studios in the NSW Northern Rivers region, and another studio in Coffs Harbour NSW, these initiatives are expected to enhance the pipeline of international screen production activity and provide increased local job opportunities.

A range of skills are being sought across the film spectrum to cater for these opportunities including script writing, sound design, storyboarding, post production, editing, documentary making, virtual effects and more recently, the emerging capability of virtual production. With organisations like Sony Innovation Studios working on technologies that capture the real world bringing it into virtual production environments on a stage anywhere in the world, without having to travel (Pennington 2020). 

Data from the Australian Government’s Job Outlook service predicts growth in the film industry, presenting multiple options for employment as film crew, camera operators, set directors, scene researchers, production planners, editors, location managers, screenwriters, lighting technicians and cinematographers.
