Working the Verticals · Wavemist Certified

Film & Television

What you'll learn

• ✓ Distinguish above-the-line from below-the-line and name which unions govern each
• ✓ Map a film set's department structure and identify who runs the set and the shooting day
• ✓ Explain the film-flavored cost drivers (turnaround, meal penalties, premiums) as the same rate-stack shape as live events
• ✓ Identify the correct bidding format for commercials vs. features/TV and how venue type reshapes crew and cost

Read the short course, then pass the exam with a perfect score — retake it as many times as you need — to earn a verifiable certificate. It teaches the framework and the vocabulary; exact union rates always come from the governing agreement, never a number memorized for a test.
