Different Roles in Film Production


Film production


There are many different roles in the production process of a film, from post production to pre production. These roles play a essential part of the creation of the film and all films must include them.  Here are a list of some of these roles  and the description of what these roles actually include:


Producers- They have to prepare and then supervise the actual making of the film. They have overall        
                   control of every aspect of the films production.  producers can ever be independent or
                  employed by the production company. 

Associate Producers- They assist the producer in putting the film together. For example they may
                                   assist the writing, editing and script organisation of the film.
Directors- They have to interpret the script and make it into reality by making the film
                 using this script. Directors often have to plan for things such as film locations, shots, 
                 pacing, acting styles and anything involving the visual effect of the film. Directors often
                 provide coaching for the actors to help them perform the role required, they also often 
                 coordinate staff on set, direct the shooting timetable and they also ensure deadlines are 
                 met.

Art Directors- They are responsible for the visual design and creation of advertisement which must be 
                        eye catching to help advertise the film. They are responsible for the overall design and 
                        direct other who work in the visual arts department of the film production.

Screenwriters- They create the screenplay or script for the film. These screenplays can be original or 
                        adaptations of existing pieces of writing. Screenplays consist of the movement,    
                        actions, expression, and dialogue of the characters.


Editors- Film editors work with the footage that has been shot, they select the shots they want use and  
             combine them into a sequence to create a finished film.  Film editors must put the film into a 
             overall final package setting the mood, pace and flow of the story/film.
