Unit 13 LO1 - Types of Jobs (Salaries)

This is an expansion to my previous work on types of jobs in the games industry, please visit my main blog post for more information here regarding LO1 (Slide 15-17).
 
The three jobs I looked at offer different salaries, all three positions are also important rolls in the work force; level design can drive the story when done well, hence Half-life or Zelda. Sound designers in recent years have transformed the way we listen to games, prime example would be Red Dead Redemption. Texture artists can add high detail to pieces of work plus realism to the product that can make the experience more believable and enjoyable.

Several links I'll provide will show how each working job in the games industry has different salary levels and the difference in wages in different countries.

This link is rather old but does show have different jobs have different salary levels, it also includes differences in salaries between the USA and the U.K.

Granted the link is 3 years out of date but when this was posted it shows the U.K. had a much higher wage salary for top developers than the USA but the U.K. has much lower wage salary for new developers in all sectors too. The USA seems to have a more averaged out wage packet for developers although if you was a top earner you'd idea like to be working in the U.K. according to these figures.


Another link provided here shows salaries again from different sectors, the highest paid jobs according to this link are; Directors, Executive Producers, Programmers and Musicians. On average these ain't always the best paid jobs but according to this source the information they collected showed the highest paid developers were in these jobs and they were paid much higher than other developers in different sectors in the games industry.


To finish off this segment I'd like you to look at this link regarding the average paid developers' salary in the U.K. According to this link, U.K. developers are slightly richer than the previous year, this link is 1 year old so salaries could of improved even more so over the last year as well. Figures have improved by £1.500 in the last year, looking in to it further though it has become clear that it isn't £32,000 on average per developer but rounded off by region and job role so some jobs will be paid higher with others paid lower.

Unit 33 LO3 - Animation

Some frame rate issues and had trouble finding a software package that would convert file types. Watermark in the middle is due to a trail software license. Overall I'm satisfied with the animation and the full advert.
