Art director: Act as project managers for the biggest department on any film - the Art Department. They facilitate the Production Designer's creative vision for all the locations and sets that eventually give the film its unique visual identity.
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. DoPs collaborate closely with the camera crew
Camera Operator: Perform a vital role within the camera department on feature films. They support the DoPs, and the Director, by accurately carrying out their instructions regarding shot composition and development. I think it’s a key role, as this is what the audience visually watch
Film Directors: Responsible for creatively translating the film's written script into actual images and sounds on the screen - he or she must visualise and define the style and structure of the film, then act as both a storyteller and team leader to bring this vision to reality. A famous British director is David Yates. Kathryn Bigelow is the first woman to become best director at the Oscars
Producers: Highly self-motivated individuals, who have the final responsibility for all aspects of a film's production. He or she is frequently the first person to become involved in a project; they participate directly in all the main producing phases; and see the project through production, to post-production, marketing and distribution. The Producer's is role to turn story ideas into profitable cinematic entertainment, and to persuade others to share in his or her commercial and creative vision. James Cameron is a wonderful and brilliant film producer, having been involved in successful film productions such as Titanic and Avatar
Production Accountant: Responsible for calculating finances, costing productions, liaising with financiers, and controlling the cash flow to ensure that payments are made on time, and in accordance with agreements and approved budgets. I think they are important, as they make sure that finances are available for the whole production work to be complete.
Script Editors: Provide critical overview of screenwriting process, and liaise between the Producer or Development Executive and the Screenwriter.
Screenwriters: Responsible for researching the story, developing the narrative, writing the screen-play, and delivering it, in the required format, to Development Executives. I think screen writers are crucial because they have great influence over the creative direction and emotional impact of the screenplay
Actors: Interpret others' words in order to bring a script to life and put flesh and blood on characters they portray.
Costume Designer: They start working on costumes for TV, theatre and films at the beginning of pre-production. They are in charge of designing, creating, acquiring and hiring all costumes for Actors and extras.
The Location Managers's primary role is to identify and find ideal locations for a film shoot, reporting to the Producer, Director and Production Designer.
Production Sound Mixers: Responsible for the difficult job of ensuring that dialogue recorded during production is suitably clear
Sound Effects Editors: Responsible for providing any required sounds to accompany screen action – usually in post production.
Film Editor: They influence the way a story unfolds and grabs the attention of the audience is one of the most. They also 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. They work closely with the director throughout the whole process. I believe they are important, because it is a creative post-production process and ultimately create the final motion picture
Film Distributors: Acquire a slate of films via deals with studios, and production companies, and/or through film sales agents who represent filmmakers. These deals specify the Distributors' overall rights for a set period of time.
