Producer: The producer is the person who takes overal charge over everybody who is assosiated with the film from the actors to the financing. He/She controls the sets that take place and stands off screen.

Directors: The director stands behind the cameras and is close to the actos as they are the ones who give instructions for facial expressions, body language and how to go about exicuting scenes to a high professioal manner.

Actors: These are the people that you see on scene when watching the final product in a cinema or on TV. The actors are responcible for learning and performing the screen player written by the screen writter. Actors build an emotional bond between movie and audience viewing it and are arguable the most important aspect to a entire movie.

Cameraman: The cameraman is in charge of the directions and angles of the camera as well as making sure that the footage taken is correct, relevant and up to the directors standards.

Music Producer: The music producer creates and inputs music into the movies in order for the movies to have an emotion relationship with the audience, their job is to make the movie more exciting and intense with the job of producing music.

The screenplay writer creates the language that is said by the actors as well as creating the story line and the events that happen in order, their job is the make the actual base of the movie. This is arguable the most important job of making a movie due to not having this a movie would never exist.

Editor: This person takes all the film shots and looks at them on a computer, their job is too examine these clips and edit them into clips making them link and make sense to the audience. Editors shorten clips, extend clips, change speed as well as adding filters and different effects to clips to add emotion to the footage.
