Draughtsman ,[object Object],Drapesmaster The Drapesmaster is responsible for all furnishings on set. They reproduce many high brand articles for a smaller cost and make sure the directors vision is seen within the props. The Drapesmaster is in charge of Drapesmen who design all the soft furnishings for the sets. They oversee all the furnishings put onto set such as cushions, rugs, curtains, carpets and throws. All of the small and detailed things on set which would not usually ever be looked at, but give an overall theme to the scenes, is the responsibility of the Drapesmaster. The Drapesmaster must prepare a list for the Producers of all the materials and items they need to create the desired look so that a budget can be worked out for that department accurately.

Director Of Photography ,[object Object]

Aerial Director of Photography/ Aerial Pilot ,[object Object],[object Object],Marine & Diving Camera Crew The marine and Diving crew are mainly responsible for the safety of the actors and any animals used within a shoot in water. In a film there are a lot of safety risks with the use of water, for example running out of oxygen, animals in their natural habitat, fight scenes or chase scenes therefore all have to be monitored. The head of the Marine and Diving crew are the Diving Camera operators and the Diving Director of photography that both need to control the crew so the Directors vision for the scenes are achieved. There job is very dangerous as everything must be in perfect condition for them to have their crew to stay underwater for long periods of time. Most Underwater crews like this are small and are on more high budget films as all the underwater and waterproof equipment is expensive.

Construction Manager ,[object Object]

Sculptor ,[object Object],Model Maker Carpenter Model makers work on a project-by-project basis and are mainly self employed. They work closely with the Production Designer to produce 3D props and models, like the sculptor for the sets. They need the skill to be imaginative, detailed, creative and have good sculpting skills using various materials. The visual effects unit may work with a model maker if they are trying to make a scene look like the actual thing, even if it isn't, for example creating the landscape of china but in miniature. The Model Maker would have to create miniature replicas of the well known buildings and statues so the film looks as though it is set there. To become a carpenter on a film production there needs to be a lot of past experience in carpentry to be hired. The carpenter builds, installs and removes the wooden aspects of sets and sometimes has to make the wooden structures of props or furniture for a set. A carpenter needs to be able to be creative, understand what they need to do and be able to handle pressure by sticking to a deadline. Before a shoot the carpenter may have to set up the props and sets before shooting can begin, during the shoot they may stay on site in case anything moves or needs sorting and after the shoot they help dismantle the wooden props.

Costume Designer ,[object Object],Costume Maker The Costume Maker is directed by the Costume Designer and Production Designer to make the costumes they can not hire or buy. Some directors want the film to be new and something people have not seen before therefore original costumes must be made by the Costume Maker. They manufacture, fit and fix all of the costumes they make so that they are perfect for the actors. The Costume Maker is provided with detailed designs of the clothing required and are expected to strict to the correct budget and time frame to create all the different outfits. The costume designer is mainly given information about what costumes are needed exactly, sizes of actors and the materials, however some have to do this themselves.

Film Distribution ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Editing and post Production

Distributor ,[object Object],Sales Agent A Film Sales Agent mainly represents film makers and helps them distribute their films. Sales Agents are mainly used for Independent filmmakers, new filmmakers who are looking to get their film into the public eye. They work with the Directors to see how they can market the film and when the films have been sold they work with distributors to negotiate the contracts. A Sales Agent must keep the work they own new and up to date as a distributor and other companies are more likely to want to buy the film from them. Therefore they attend film festivals and screenings regularly so they can meet new film makers who have interesting film ideas and already made films.

Chief Makeup artist ,[object Object],Hairdresser The hairdresser works closely with the Makeup team as the hairstyles for each character must be consistent with the makeup. They don’t just work with the actors original hair, they also work with hair extensions and wigs if the director wants the actors looking a certain way, different from their norm. A hairdresser works long hours on set as they need to make sure the hair in each retake is the same as different camera angles are used in each scene to create a more professional looking film. Hairdressers are normally freelance and are employed by Chief Hairdressers as they may know them or know previous films they have done the hairdressing for. A Hairdresser must be on set during every filming day therefore their work requires them to be moved around a lot and could spend a lot of time away from home. The Hairdressers may also be used on publicity shoots as they can achieve the same look created within the film for the posters and advertisements of the film.

Film Heath and Safety ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Lighting

Paramedics/ Unit Nurse ,[object Object],Health and Safety Advisor The health and Safety Adviser works on a production to ensure that all Heath and Safety policy is followed throughout all parts of film making. They monitor every department and make sure they are following the policy so that they do not get into situations that may cause major damage to some and cost mass amounts of money. Health and Safety must be considered carefully on things such as construction of sets, especially if they are high, the actors and camera crew may get injured during shooting and the construction team building the set if the guidelines are not followed. When something drastic happens in a film production that leaves someone injured then it can be very consequential for the company, they will have to attend court, maybe give money to the person injured or their family and also their reputation as a company will be jeopardised and may not be able to produce films again, this is why they always have a Health and Safety Advisor.

Film Lighting ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Locations

Gaffer ,[object Object],Moving Light Operator Using Moving Light’s have increased over the years within film as technology has advanced. The Moving Light Operator controls the special electronic lights that change position and colour or brightness on set. They need help to install them from the lighting technicians then the DOP briefs them with how they want the lights to be controlled during every part of the filming. The Moving Light Operator has to tune the lights to a special control so they can do what they need to with the lights. The Moving Light operator must be able to fix and maintain the lights they are working with as they are fragile and prone to breaking or technical problems, if these are not controlled throughout filming it will waste time and cost the company more.

Choreographer ,[object Object],Stunt Performer Stunt performers are very trained individuals that have experience with doing dangerous, flexible and skilled stunts. Fight scenes that involve karate or jumping off high buildings usually use stunt performers are they are trained safely how to deal with the situation. Many films with A-list starts have Stunt Doubles, who look exactly like the actor from the side or the back, with almost exact body measurements but are trained for stunts. However now a lot of Stars are trying their own stunts which is more dangerous and risky. They are directed by Stunt Coordinators who must go through everything they have to do within each shot and how to do it safely. If a Stunt performer is not specifically trained in some sort of fighting or gymnastics they are not likely to be hired. Research must be done by the individuals about how to perform their tasks as safe as possible, they also have to watch how the actors perform in their role so as that they can mimic their body language and character interpretation as close as possible.

Audio Describer ,[object Object],Subtitler A Subtitler is the opposite to an Audio Describer but helps produce films available for people with special requirements. A Subtitler makes sure that on screen at all times there is the dialogue been spoken by the actors. This enables deaf people to watch the film as they can not hear the dialogue but will be able to see it. However a Subtitler is not always required for special needs purposes, in many films subtitles are used when an actor speaks in a different language than the country watching it so they can understand what is being said. Many Subtitler’s are hired for foreign made films so that they can be seen by a global market and understood. Some films such as Lord of the rings use made up languages agreed by Director and Script writers therefore the Subtitler has to be given a script of exactly what is being said. The Subtitler also works on the computer and uses a special program which allows the subtitles to be converted into many different languages after it has been written in one language all the way through. Sometimes the film is translated by other Subtitlers from different countries or bilingual people.

Armourer ,[object Object],Greensman The Greensman is a job which is generally not thought about at all and many people will of never heard of before yet they still have a crucial role in the success of a film. The Greensman have the job of planting, preserving and finding the correct greenery and vegetation required within a film. Many films show an outside of a house and its garden, this is carefully looked after and made to look the way the Director wants it by the Greensman. They must look through the scripts and work with the Director, Designers and Locations team to make sure they can find the correct greenery and plants needed for the film. They need to research mainly where to find the items they need and how they can be transported to set carefully so they remain in ideal condition, as many living plants and vegetation is fragile and needs to be looked after daily. The Greensman may also work with the art department to produce artificial landscapes and also work with and place mechanical plants and trees on certain locations.
