crew member, dancer, model and actor, what to do in each
frame.
Camera Person- ‘A camera operator or cameraman/camerawoman is a
professional operator of a film or video camera. In filmmaking, the leading camera
operator is usually called a cinematographer, while a camera operator in a video
production may be known as a television camera operator, video camera operator,
or videographer, depending on the context and technology involved, usually operating
a professional video camera.
The camera operator is responsible for physically operating the camera and
maintaining composition and camera angles throughout a given scene or shot. In
narrative filmmaking, the camera operator will collaborate with the director, director of
photography, actors and crew to make technical and creative decisions. In this setting, a
camera operator is part of a film crew consisting of the director of photography and one
or more camera assistants.’ - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_operator

which has a microphone attached. This is held close to
the actors or action as close as possible without
getting the boom inside the camera frame.
Lighting – ‘Electrical Lighting Technicians (ELT) or simply Lighting Tech, are involved with
rigging stage and location sets and controlling artificial, electric lights for art and
entertainment venues (theatre or live music venues) or in video, television,
or filmproduction.Lighting technicians are responsible for the movement and set up of
various pieces of lighting equipment for separation of light and shadow or contrast, depth
of field and/or visual effects. Lighting Technicians may also lay electrical cables, wire
fixtures, install colour effects or image patterns, focus the lights, and assist in creating
effects or programming sequences.’ - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting_technician
