Final Year Project
Project Title
The Pakistani Television Industry: What is the Structure in Which it Operates and How Does it Affect the Workforce?
Description
My thesis research is being complimented by my chosen artefact: fiction film, which is a Whodunit/Murder mystery based in the Pakistani TV Industry. For my research, I conducted about 11 in person interviews of professionals working in the industry, as well as studying the existing secondary literature. My objectives were: to Identify working conditions and problems faced by the workforce; understand the operational structure in which 1V production houses operate; analyze and connect structural flaws with direct effect on workforce; present solutions. My findings: Hierarchal divide on and off set; poor working conditions on sets; extreme violation of basic worker rights and exploitation; corporate-like system, with industrialized mode of production; active mafia and lobby controlling the market; solutions presented: Unionization Government intervention (unifying body of accountability that oversees protocol and standardization).
