Shift work:

Shift work is when making the full use of all the crew available on the set, working 24 hours of the day. The day in the work place is seen to be divided in shifts, this means each person in a certain job takes different shifts during the day and night, employers can change or rotate there shifts with other members of the crew to suit them.

Whilst researching I found that there can be many negative side effects with taking shift work like, many different health problems, loss of attention and vigilance, higher possibility of becoming obese, and a strain on your personal and family relationships. 

There are many different shift works in different sections in a T.V crew. The one i found is associate producer, whilst researching i have found that there is more then one meaning that they both change different shifts, one can work days and the other can work nights. 

Fixed term:

A fixed term is when an employment contract with the company/ organization that, that person works for. Or if their contract ends and a set time or date or the completion of a project. 

Most of a T.V and film company's have all their crew on a fixed term, because if their contract ending when the movie is finished. For example the actors contract finished once the filming is completely done. 

Office hours: 

This is how long an employee has worked, the way which business is conducted. 

Many of the cast and crew from a T.V and film set have office hours and others have different. A director has longer hours then some of the actors.

An example, a film that is currently being produced starring Kira knightly. She was doing an interview explain how when she came on set she was always smiling and fresh but her other actors were not die to them training and coming in early and staying late to finish stunts. That shows that many actors also have different times when they come in and film their bit. 

Freelance:

This is a person who works for them self, they are self-employed, and they are not committed with another employer long term. Many cast and crew members are freelancers. 

One person in the film and T.V industry, which are freelancers, are actors, actors are not with any other employer long term. 

Irregular pattern: 

This is when someone from the cast or crew works hours that they don’t usually work and these could be very long or starts very early. 

For example directors work Irregular patterns due to them working long and earthly and late house to make sure the film is at it's best. Also editors are also another who works these long hours spending time in makeup these films. 

Hourly rates: 

This is how much cast and crew gets paid an hour. There are many jobs in this industry and many are paid more due to their position. 

For example a director gets paid 100 million depending on the film and style and success of he film. This is different to someone who works the lights who don't get paid as much and get paid less hourly. 

Piecework: 

This is how much a certain person gets paid due to how much work they have done. 

A good example of this is a script writer. Scrip writers take the most time coming up with ideas to create a big blockbuster film. this means they take time trying to come up with the best ideas. A scriptwriter gets paid for how long it takes then to create there piece.
