Beyond the Cinema

What's the first thing you think about when you hear video or film production? Usually, the first mental image that pops up, are the movies. Naturally, the movies (which will now be referred to as the cinema) is the first stepping stone into this collaborative art form. However there is so much more beyond that. Take a moment and consider your surroundings. Where else do you see "motion pictures"? There's videos on the cell phone, television, ipods, game systems, hand held games, theme parks, billboards, hospitals, online, just about everywhere you go there is some type of video playing. These videos range from ads, commercials, films, documentaries, ENG (electronic news gathering), music videos, awareness videos, tutorials, video games, atmosphere, concert videos, animated films and videos, and so much more. And if you stop and think about it, each one of those types of "motion pictures" are associated with jobs. You could have one of those jobs.
