Question

Name the team members needed to make a film.

Answer 1

Hint: A film is made through the process of film making which involves the role of a number of people. People are involved in pre-production to post- production processes related to film making.

Complete answer:
The following people are involved in film making:
i) Writer - First and the most essential person is the writer who draws out the storyline and lays the foundation of filmmaking.
ii) Executive producer - the person that funds the entire course of action involved in film-making.
iii) Producer - This person basically performs the functions of a human resource manager and more precisely a resource manager and a person who oversees film production. He/She brings together all kinds of resources to materialize the idea.
iv) Assistants - There are various assistants attached to main people such as executive producer, director, photographer etc. The number of assistants depends upon the purpose.
v) Director - This person gives direction to the actors, actresses and cameraman to generate best work.
vi) Photographer/ videographer - The person who captures all the scenes and shots.
vii) Actors/ Actresses - These people act out the story written by the writer.
viii) Editor - This person reviews and keeps the important and required parts in a movie.

Other than these main people, visible at the forefront, there are people in the background as well that make any film a success. These people include:
- Music/sound editor
- Singer
- Makeup man
- Costume designer
- Casting manager
- Prop maker
- Person who adjusts the light
- Advertising and marketing people

Basically this includes all the people that have been arranged by the production manager.

Note: Marketing and distribution are also a part of film making. They comprise post production stages. The most crucial part of filmmaking is the budget of the film as it determines the entire course of action involved.
