42%
62.2/ 100
1 Share of the video and motion picture producer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the music producer 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 this move works
A video and motion picture producer role treats 9 of its required skills as things a music producer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- accounting techniques
- assess financial viability
- audiovisual products
- copyright legislation
- develop professional network
- implement strategic planning
What stands in the way is 9 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring

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.
