Best Paid Jobs in the Film Industry

2. Art Director

Average annual salary: $125,010

Any job that includes supervising a team of professionals will be well paid, and in the case of an art director, it’s no different. His main task is to create a detailed vision of the film sets and locations, before turning his ideas over to a team of draftsmen, prop masters, set designers, and construction managers. Furthermore, the art director has to make sure the entire fictional world can be created within budget, and as there are very few people qualified people for the job, it pays extremely well.
