1 Share of the video and motion picture producer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the assistant video and motion picture director profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A video and motion picture producer role treats 5 of its required skills as things a assistant video and motion picture director already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • consult with production director
  • copyright legislation
  • film production process
  • liaise with financiers
  • manage budgets

What stands in the way is 13 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A video and motion picture producer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a assistant video and motion picture director background worth leading with.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
