Blog 2 Final Project:
Business Plan
According to Phil Breman of
About.com, getting starting in the film or television business is one of the
hardest things to do, but if you follow certain steps it will not be as
difficult, and knowing the right information is key to making the ride less
bumpy. (Breman, 2012) For starters you must narrow down the areas
of business that you want to enter, because there are so many different careers
in the entertainment industry, it can be very overwhelming. Breman states you should know what you are
looking for before you start looking.
(Breman, 2012) The next steps is
to assess your skills, and determine what type of skill this particular job
requires in comparison to what you are good at doing. Next you should make a list of places to
start looking for jobs, and Breman feels the Internet is a good place to
start. He states, “it used to be that
the only way to find a job in the biz was through word of mouth, but now most
production companies have more work than they can handle. (Breman, 2012) This is where search engines come into play,
when looking for entry-level positions in the industry. He suggested the Hollywood Reporter Job
Classified and Major Media Company Job boards like Disney, University, NBC, and
other networking companies. Next is to
prepare a good resume, or employ an agency to do one for you. “Build a solid resume, that will help you get
your feet in the door.” (Breman,
2012) Being honest and including all of
your accomplishments is key in effective resume writing, and because most
people in the entertainment industry have no or little experience when the
enter the business, therefore being patient is one of the most important
characteristics that you can have.
Breman states, to remember the three P’s: stay passionate, persistent, and patient is
essential, and it will help dramatically to increase your odds of succeeding in
the entertainment industry. (Breman,
2012)
