2. The Director
• Director: this person is responsible for the project and
how it is executed. This person usually comes up with
the genre and plot, hires the actors, arranges the
location and directs the filming and editing process.
This person’s input is what shapes and navigates the
product to a particular standard. They control a film's
artistic and dramatic aspects, while guiding the
technical crew and actors.
• Their role is on-going, throughout the pre-production,
post-production and during the film-making process, as
they are required to constantly give their input.
3. The Cameraperson
• The cameraman is responsible for physically
operating the camera and maintaining
composition and camera angles throughout a
given scene or shot. In narrative filmmaking, the
camera operator will collaborate with the
director, director of photography, actors and crew
to make technical and creative decisions.
• The cameraperson usually is used throughout the
production of the product, as they capture the
director’s vision of what the film should be like.
4. The Editor
• This person is vital to the outcome of the
product. Once the footage has been filmed, it is
entirely in this person’s hands to manipulate the
footage to produce a continuous, and accurate
interpretation of the director’s intention. The
Editor is responsible for aligning and combining
the shots and footage, mixing and matching to
create a coherent and entertaining film. The film
editor works with the raw footage, selecting
shots and combining them into sequences to
create a finished motion picture. Film editing is
part of the post-production of the process.
5. Sound Managers
• These people are responsible for the audio of the
film. They are in charge of sound effects,
background music, and any audio that has been
added to enhance the product. This includes
songs, diagetic/non-diagetic sounds,
synchronous/asynchronous sounds, and general
background noise.
• These people also play a huge part in the
production as they add a different layer to the
compilation of shots, to make the sequence flow
together and make it an enjoyable and seamless
video.
