Film & TV

A course in camera handling/videography and light management (shooting and of stage) skills are one of the main components of film making careers.
I shall assume that the above course is an introductory level course where the person has learnt the basics and foundation have been created. It is also noteworthy that the course in camera shall involve - not all cameras - that are actually used in the field. To know all that one will certainly need one of the two:
1. A place to work where the skill and learning enhancement is an integral part of the working
2. A place to pursue higher degree where the previously learnt skills are enhanced via teaching, practice and live projects.
When available, the option 02 shall be kept as a priority. But unfortunately, we do not get many institutions that take the skills higher.
The professional course is done to start an occupation and earning. Hence, it is suggested that the camera and lighting course person should search for healthy opportunities to work in job. If that does not succeed then the time must be used to pursue higher studies in any field.

To become an actor one needs to possess the following characteristics:
1. Competence to take fictional roles
2. Truthfulness in learning the role play
3. Flawless diction and multiple language skills
4. Experience and the best possible in theatre
5. Formal training in acting if possible
6. Knowledge of film making and direction nuances
Along with the above basic requirements to become an actor in films and for the acts of theatre as well, I can suggest that an actor needs to perform the role of others so, the actor needs to have a keen observation as well as adaptability skills which come to action within a fraction of a second.
Presence of mind along with the determination to perform the task of getting into the flesh of others should be done with through practice by the actor.
Aristotle gave the following elements of drama which are the lifeblood of acting:
Plot, character, diction, thought, music and spectacle.
The fulfilment of these has to be done with the above-mentioned qualities.
I shall mention that an actor needs to be physically good looking because the acting needs to be good.

The question does not share any information whether the course is a Diploma-Degree-PG or merely an add-on course as MOOC or training. Still, the answer is here based on general perceptions and replying considering the course as Graduation at least.
Government Job Opportunities for a course in Film, Television and 'New Media Production are good.
It is good that the question mentions NEW MEDIA because the largest number of jobs in the Media domain is on the 'INTERNET and WEB' based platforms. When we say NEW MEDIA, we acknowledge that there are fewer Jobs in the traditional media profiles.
Film: Making of Documentaries, Direction and Production of Serials/Short Movies/Features or Video works in PR Departments and Universities as well. Media Units, as well as the Cultural Affairs Departments, can hire.
Understand that there is more PROJECT based association with the government than JOBS.
Television: The same applies here as well as for films. The additional Job available are those of actors, News and Special Programmes as for CEC, Gyan Darshan, IGNOU etc.
New Media Production: Digital World and Internet-Based World. All Jobs that are on Internet can be done once the Public Relation Department decides to offer an opening.

Direction - Films, Movies, Short Films, TV Serials, Features, Advertisement/TV Commercials etc. is a profile with the Public Relation, Doordarshan/Prasar Bharti divisions of the government. There is a possibility to get employed with the Universities and Film Production related government Institutions as well. Media Studies institutions managed by the government shall also offer jobs to Directors and Makers and Faculty.
Direction shall also be an eligibility to take Part Time or Project Based Jobs with the Government. Generally, LONG TERM Projects are also like Jobs when one gets employed in the government.

Direction and documentary production are not opposite domains and can never be. A director is part of the documentary production as well. The director may make informative/educational work, entertaining movies, animations, thrillers, romance or children movies. The direction is the most important thing.
Hence, direction is a comprehensive term whereas documentary production is a part of the main.
