Writer
A writer is a man or woman who creates an idea to become a film. They create the plot, main
characters and turn it into a film that can be produced
Producer
Producers have the most control on every aspect of a film's production. They decide the whole
production team. Their responsibility is to create an environment where the talents of the cast and
crew can work together in harmony. They create the film from the start to the end. The Producer is
often the first person to get involved in a project. Producers have responsibilities over all four phases
in production of a film.
Casting Directors
Casting Directors work with both the Director and Producer to assemble the perfect cast for the film.
As a result, Casting Directors must have a deep knowledge in the new acting talent. They are
responsible for matching the ideal actor to each role, based on a number of factors, such as the
actor's experience, ability, reputation, availability and box office appeal.
Director
Directors are in charge for changing the film's written script into actual images and sounds on the
screen. They are responsible for a film's artistic and commercial success or failure. Directors may
write the film's script or commission it to be written, or they may be hired after an early draft of the
script is complete. They must then develop a vision for the finished film and work out how to
achieve it. They also manage the technical aspects of filming including the camera, sound, lighting,
design and special effects departments.
Film finance
Film finance is an aspect of film production that occurs during the development stage prior to pre-
production and is concerned with determining the potential value of a proposed film.


Camera operator
Camera Operators carry out the Director of Photographys (DoP) and Directors instructions for shot
composition and development. They are usually the first people to use the camera's eyepiece to
assess how all the elements of performance, art direction, lighting, composition and camera
movement come together to create the cinematic experience
Editor
Editors are one of the key Heads of Department on feature films, responsible for First Assistant
Editors, and on bigger productions, Second Assistants and Trainees. The Editor Works closely with
the Director. To ensure that the story flows effortlessly from beginning to end, each shot is carefully
chosen and edited into a series of scenes, which are in turn assembled to create the finished film.
Editors work long, unsociable hours and in this time they are under-pressure from the whole film
production.
Production designer
A production designer defines and manages every aspect of the film. They work closely with the
director and producer because they produce a budget to both of them to sum up how much money
needs to be spent on the designing part of the production and also they tell them a schedule to what
will be done and how long it will take them. A production designer also directs the team responsible
for producing the visual elements of the scene such as the set and costume.
