Shift Work

Carol Kirkwood
Ben Rich
Shift work is a set amount of time given to a group of employees, which is then rotated with the next group of employees with the same job. This is a full 24 hour cycles as the media does not stop.An example of shift work is in the news sectors. The job roles in the news sector that you would see this working pattern is a presenter, camera operator, VT operator, weather reporter and etc. 
Why this work pattern will be used in the News is because it is a 24 hour media , as there always have to be someone there to produce and deliver the news. The news presenter will have a set time to work and would be rotated by the next presenter to present to it would be carried on again and again.a benefit to an employee that works on a work shift at BBC is carol kirkwood which is a weather reporter. is she get to work at a shift that fit you specifically as carol kirkwood work in the morning on BBC breakfast which is fits her life style.a drawback for carol Kirkwood is it may be tiring for the her and physically and mentally not good for her to wake up really early in the morning and do the weather because not all of the time your body will cope with the patter of shift work which also could be put off by the work left be-hide for her may not be how she wanted it to be.
The pros to the employee is that BBC would be is that they keep it fresh because new people would come in to report the weather which allows the BBC to work with others because it is nice to have a change and spread the work out and keep each report fresh.
The cons to the BBC is that they have to pay more money to the employee because there are more weather reporter worker for them because it is a 24 hour process of news which means BBC would have to constantly pay money to the employee.


Fixed term contract

Fixed term contract is a working pattern that you have to signed to a assignment that you have been given a set date on of when you start and ends the completions of assignment for the institutions. An example of  fixed term contract is the film industry. The job roles in the film industry that would have this working pattern is the Video Editor for the film, as he/she would be given a contract to work to a particular start and end date for the completion for the movie edit.Why this particular work patterns would be given to a film industry is because they do not need to have the video editor the whole way through the film production.
margaret sixel
The positive for Margaret Sixel is she has had a variety of editing that she has done in the past; some of the film that she has edited is Happy feet which is a 3D animated movie and Mad max was a Practical movie, these has different kind of skills, what this help with is grow you portfolio, as this able her to fit her calendar as it could fit around here life. It is clear that the movie company need you what she would have done is negotiate how much money she has in her contract has some control of her money. 

The negative for Margaret sixel work is not always guaranteed ,we can see this because she has only edited 7 films from the last 20 years where you can see the differences is that lee smith has edited 32 film from the last 20 years. Margaret sixel would has had a side job because she dose not always has work 
The benefits for the employer the film industry (Warner bros.) is they have control of the employee which is margaret sixel. Warner bros. are also flexible when employing someone
The drawback to warner bros is they would have to employee someone for that specific job which means you would have to spend more money on hiring the editor for the movie separately and specially for that job.

Office hours

Office hours is a typical 9 am-5 pm jobs , that is fit around the sociable hours, it is a standers time that is set to the employee.
An example of a office hours is seen in the film industry. The job role in the film industry would be a finance account because there only work in sociable hours  
This particular work pattern is used for finance account as they only do paper work they work on a strict time line, what they would do is leave work at work and come back tomorrow morning to complete there work because they work time is limited.
The positive for the employee is it is in sociable hour because it work around there time, it is because normal people work around that time because it fits to there schedule. what is also good is there leaves there work at work and have there holiday same to other.
The negative for the employee is they do.not get paid for doing work at home away from work. Also holiday are fixed this may effect you holiday that you may not want to go on holiday same time school break up.
The benefit for the employer is they have structure of the environment they have control of the working conditions, it is that they could make it fit there own work comfortable.
The drawback  to the employee there have a risk of employees becoming stress from the work load into one. What else is that they may have less work done from the employee because there may have to leave work at work and have a limited  to do work.



Freelance

Freelance is a self employed worker, which work with the company but not for the company. You work for a particular assignment which you are hired to do for the institution. 
An example of a freelance is in the film industry. The job roles in the film industry would be actors, camera operator and video editors because there work for themselves.
Why this work pattern will be given to the actors, camera operator and video editors is because the film company will only hire them if needed as they wont have to be in the whole process of the film, as there don't work for the company but with the film industry.
Michel B . Jordon
A pro for actors that you see in the film industry is in the movie called "Creed" that Micheal B. Jordan that plays Adonis Creed  in new movie , is that he would be able to movie creed (produces by Warner Bother) around and work with other company were else we have see him work is in the movie Fantastic Four which was produced by Marvel entertainment.This could increase his port folio to interest other company,He could do is have a say of how much he gets paid have a percentage of control.
The cons for Michel B.Jordon is he is not grantee a job all the time because it is unpredictable because the company may find other actor with more experience, job is not always there because there easily be replaced by someone else what also could happen is that you may change to much money for the company this may put off the company from hiring the actor.
The pros for the employer is that other actors are always available. There only have to hire the actors when need which is a the film production stage. What else is good is that they could hire specialist at the job as the actors that you want to do he own stents which would lead to spending less money on hiring stunt double.
The cons for the employer is freelances are very expensive, because they may ask for a lots of money for there uses and specialists in the media (film-actor)what this could lead to over all is the actors have a choice to leave, what might happens is the actor may leaves the set of the film half way through filming the movie which could lead to re-shooting the movie from the start which is expensive.


Irregular Patterns 

Irregular Patterns is a working pattern in which the hours vary significantly on a regular basis this may be changed in the time of the day/hours working. An example of a irregular pattern is in the News sector and film industry, The job roles in the news sector that has this type of working pattern is news correspondents and the job role in the film industry is film production crew. The correspondent  would be given an assignment that they would have to complete in that time that has been given.
 This particular work pattern will be given to the news correspondent, as he/she would  have to respond at that time and event as it would be a big news coverage.
Where we have seen this is the Paris attacks that happened, the world correspondents from other countries would be called in to do the coverage for the attack despite what time it is. 
This working pattern, would happen in the film production crew is that they may have to shoot a film scene in the morning with day light in the shot ,but the next day they may have to film at night to get the night shots/scenes of the film.
Grrathem Satchell Corresponding Paris Attack.
The benefit for the news correspondent that you see in the BBC is Gratham Satchell why I has chosen him because he was the correspondent for the Paris attack. What would happen is that he would have got paid extra because there are doing something that effect there life style, what else is good for the news correspondent is they are doing something different as it is interesting and keep them engaged, but in Grathem report, he became emotional as this become interesting.
The downside to Grathem Satchell  is it effect they sleep pattern which means he wont particularly have a normal life style to other, he would have to sacrifices most of his life to this job because he wont get a proper time off from work which would have an impact on his social life. 
The positive for bbc is they will always has people available to report the news which means that bbc will not be left short when needed a news corrospondent. why this is also a got things is that bbc has specialist to complete the job which means for the paris attacks you would have someone that would have specialised in french.
The negative for bbc that there is a risk from the employee from being burnt off(from not delivering the best news because of the tiredness) which means staff have to make a lot of sacrifices, because of the quickness of the news report may not deliver the best news because of the event may be in the middle of the night 


.

Hourly Rate

Hourly rates is a working patterns that the employee are paid for every hour they work ,which is a flat rate which is not effected of how much wok the employee do.
An example of a jobs that uses hourly rate is in the film industry. The jobs role that may have this is a video editor, VFX editor and assistance editor.
This particular work pattern will be given to the video editor is because they work a lot of hours for a film edit, because the industry want to complete the film edit fast and would paid more for them to be more productive.
How much a video editor will get paid for a med budget feature film that cost £5 million -£15 million to make, is he/she would get paid £42.82 an hour and would get paid £48 when on holiday(https://www.bectu.org.uk/advice-resources/library/1667). 
The positive for the employee is the more  they work the more they get paid, even if you work the time you go over you have been assigned you would be paid over timed.
The negative  for the employee is that this kind of pay is normally  for job lower down the hierarchy, but for the editor it is not because  you get paid a lot for an hour you work. But you would have to do a lot of work for the one that not the worth you at paid.
The benifits for the employer is they only pay the employee when there are in use, you have control  how long there work for and how.much there get paid 
The drawback is that would have to pay more money for the employee working over time . 


Piece Rate

Piece rate is a working pattern that the employee gets paid for every item that they make for the institution. These item are normally unique for the institution.
An example of Piece rate would be seen in the film industry. The jobs roles that would have this particular work pattern is a props design and/or costume designer.
Why this particular work pattern will be given to a props design and/or costume designer , is that the film industry would only need them for make a unique product for the film,
Where we can see this is in the new James Bond movie the Aston Martin where spicily made for that movie, what the film company would have done is pay for each car that where made.
Aston Martin Design in James Bond
The benefit for the prop/costume designs they are more productive because there would be motivated to produce more props and costume for example the Aston Martin in James Bond , it is that the more that they  produces the Aston Martin the more they get paid.
The drawback for the props/costume design is they may work  16 hours to make one Aston martin, and the next one might take 7 hours, what this is that the hours they work wont match how long they work, this may be demotivating for the props/costume designer.
The benefits for the Film industry (Columbia pictures) is that they would only have to pay for what they want which is Aston martins. This would be a unique product to them they only used this for a costume Aston Martin.
The drawback for the Film industry (Columbia pictures )is it is very expensive to buy a custom Aston Martin because the produces might charge a high price for the Car. What else could happen is that  the Aston Martin might not be like how you where expecting it to be.
