Stiff competition is expected for the more glamorous jobs-writers, actors, producers, and directors; other workers-multimedia artists and animators, and film and video editors, among others-should enjoy better job prospects. Although many films are shot on location throughout the United States and abroad, employment is centered in several major cities, particularly New York and Los Angeles.
Opportunities will be better in some occupations than in others. Computer specialists, multimedia artists and animators, film and video editors, and others skilled in digital filming, editing, and computer-generated imaging should have the best job prospects.
