Assignment 2

Job Roles in the Television and Film Industries 

Fixed Term Contracts are given by employers on the basis that the contract will terminate at a future date. So Basically if you are a director sometimes you do sign a contract like you got 4 months to make a documentary etc it would be same for the producer of the documentary.

A freelancer or freelance worker is a person who pursues a profession without a long-term commitment to any one employer. An example to show this would be its your business you work for yourself you can work whenever you want it is totally up to you. Also Known as Self Employed Basically.

The term “hourly wage” describes a rate an employer agrees to pay a worker per hour worked, such as £12 per hour or £17.50 per hour. The “average” or “mean” is an estimated hourly rate calculated using the varying hourly rates of a group of workers in a specific occupation. So basically Now if you worked in a film industry it would be based on National minimum wage depending on your Age.

So Basically irregular patterns means its when someone works but not exactly 5 days it’s a bit like part time hours so it’s a contract that only requires you to come twice a week or at unusual hours.
