The work

The work

The tasks come from O*NET (United States) and ESCO (Europe), the world's two occupation databases. How the work is done can differ in Uganda; our team adds the local way where it does.

  1. 1

    Plan details such as framing, composition, camera movement, sound, and actor movement for each shot or scene.

  2. 2

    Communicate to actors the approach, characterisation, and movement needed for each scene in such a way that rehearsals and takes are minimised.

  3. 3

    Direct live broadcasts, films and recordings, or non-broadcast programming for public entertainment or education.
