2. Roles of filming
 Director- The director’s job is to make sure everything is in place
on set and make sure everyone is in the right place at the right
time and everything goes smoothly when filming. Some names
of some directors are people like Steven Spielberg one of the
most famous directors in the world who directed films such as
E.T, Jaws and Jurrassic Park, Edgar Wright, the director of
movies like ‘Hot Fuzz’, ‘Shaun of the Dead’and ‘The World’s
End’, Jeff Wadlow who directed ‘Kick-Ass 2’ and James Cameron
the director of ‘The Terminator’, ‘Avatar’ and ‘Titanic (1997)’.
 Editor- The editor is important because he changes and cuts out
all the stuff that everyone feels isn’t necessary for the film so he
is the one everyone relies on to make sure the film turns out
well. Some examples of editors are Michael Cain and Eddie
Hamilton who was the editor of the film ‘Kick-Ass’.

background stuff like costs, actors, staging and making sure the
entire production goes smoothly without any problems. Famous
producers are people such as Steven Spielberg for ‘The Goonies’
and ‘E.T.’ and Adam Sandler for ‘50 First Dates’ and ‘The
Waterboy’.

enough!) but also has a say in how they picture the actor or
actress saying their lines. Famous writers are people such as Jon
Lucas and Scott Moore for ‘The Hangover’.
