Freelance, part-time or full-time work opportunities for various aspects of filmmaking are available in: 

· Film studios
· Production companies
· Editing studios/laboratories
· Processing laboratories
· Government departments that make films
· Film departments of advertising agencies

PROMOTION POLICY

This is a very flexible industry, and rising to the top depends entirely on individual talent, performance, track record and assertiveness. Public sector film production organizations follow the standard government guidelines for promotion on the basis of qualification and requisite years of experience.

DIVERSIFICATION

The film industry has created a number of spin-offs that offer employment to those who are connected with but not directly involved in the film making process. These include:

· Film distribution
· Film consultancy-to media corporations/corporations
· Film journalism-reporting on films and those who work in them.
· Film critics-for the print or electronic media.
· Film archive keeping

FUTURE PROJECTIONS

As long as the romance of cinema lives, films will continue to be made. As far as feature films are concerned, television and video have, to some extent-affected cinema going, but the medium still remains the most popular form of entertainment. The opening up of imports and introduction of dubbed versions of Hollywood films is bound, in the near future to increase the demand for talented, technically qualified people with original ideas. The documentary and ad film sectors are also opening up tremendously due to increased television viewing.
