production.’

I understand that a director is the person in charge and the person that is
creating the film, play. He makes the rest of the crew do what he wants as it is
his overall idea.
Camera Person: ‘Camera Operators usually begin work at the end of pre-production
and, if the budget allows, attend the technical recces with other Heads of
Department. They work closely with the Director of Photography (DoP), Director and
Grip, and are responsible for the 1st Assistant Camera (AC), 2nd Assistant Camera
(AC) and the Camera Trainee.’

I understand that the camera person is very important because they are there
form the production stages. They have to know all the different camera angles
because if you ask them to do a specific one then they can do it In an instant.

Lighting Technician: ‘Lighting Technicians help to provide the relevant lighting and
power supply for a film, either on a studio set, or on location. Once they are fully
qualified (having served as an apprentice or trainee for three years) they start to
work "on the road" as part of the lighting team. They usually require a minimum of
two years' working experience, and must have reached the age of 23 before they
start to work on feature films or commercials.’

I understand that the lighting technician is the person who has to provide the
correct lighting at the correct time. This helping the camera person and the
actual director.
Sound technician: ‘Sound technicians are required to assemble, operate and
maintain the technical equipment used to record, amplify, enhance, mix or reproduce
sound.
They identify the sound requirements for a given task or situation and perform the
appropriate actions to produce this sound. Sound technicians of different types are
required in a range of industries including film, broadcasting (radio or television), live
performance (theatre, music, dance), advertising and audio recordings.’

I understand that the sound technician(Boom Operator) is the person
who is in charge of operating the boom and being in control of what
sound effects are used, also what quality the sound is, whether it is
good, bad or how loud it is quiet or loud.
