2.8 Nationality

The present survey introduced a new question asking respondents about their nationality. The vast majority of respondents described themselves as British (91%), while 6% were from other EU countries, and less than 1% were from the USA (a further 3% were originally from other countries).

 

Editing/post production/VFX and make-up/hairdressing had the highest proportion of foreign national workers, and sound/electrical, locations and other departments had the highest proportion of British nationals.
