Idea #39 - Positions in a Film Crew

For anyone working in the field of media and entertainment, it is essential to know the positions of the people in a film crew and understand how they contribute to the project.

So today we learned about the various crew positions involved in the making of a film. From the producer to the gaffer, from the director to the best boy, we learned the purpose each crew member serves.

The flow of the plot, the cinematography of the film, the script and the art direction, the lighting and colour grading, the camera angles, are all aspects of the film that require a lot more technical skill and practical experience than is visible on screen.

Every member of the crew is equally important for the success of a film. From the ideation to the execution, at every major as well as intermediary level, every member plays a vital role in carrying out nuanced tasks that sum up to an indispensable one.
