14. Production Roles • Producer: Oversees and delivers a film project to the film studio or other financing entity, while preserving the integrity, voice and vision of the film. • Film Director: The individual primarily responsible for overseeing the shooting and assembly of a film. He or she is most directly responsible for the picture’s final appearance. The director is sometimes referred to as the author or auteur of a film because of his or her essential involvement with its creation. • Screenwriter: While the dialogue in a film may seem natural to the viewer, it is carefully crafted by a writer. The screenwriter does far more than provide dialogue for the actors. He or she also shapes the sequence of events in a film to ensure that one scene leads logically to the next and the film tells its story in a logical and interesting way.

15. Production Designer & Art Director: Before one inch of film is shot, the production designer is the first artist to translate the script into visual form. He or she creates a series of storyboards that serve as the film’s first draft. The production designer determines the palette of colors to be used and often provides important suggestions about the composition of individual shots • Sound Designer: When sound was integrated into the film-making process, music, sound effects and dialogue became essential tools for enhancing a film’s visual qualities. • Actors: For the audience, actors are the most visible and tangible part of the production. While they are obviously essential to any film, they are pieces in a much larger puzzle. Behind every actor is a director guiding his or her performance, a cinematographer creating the perfect light and film exposure, a screenwriter providing plot and dialogue, an art director designing the physical environment and a costume designer providing the proper attire.

16. Editor: Shortly after shooting begins, the editor begins to organize the footage—known as the daily rushes—and arranges individual shots into one continuous sequence • Camera Operator: A camera operator or cameraman is a professional operator of a film or video camera. In filmmaking, the leading camera operator is usually called a cinematographer. • Director of Photography: DOPs must discover the photographic heart of a screenplay, using a variety of source material including stills photography, painting, other films, etc. They realise the desired look using lighting, framing, camera movement, etc.
