Who's Who Credits

Executive Producer - arranges for the film's financing and tries to keep the project on budget.

Producer - finds a script and develops it into a film project. He or she oversees the hiring of the director, actors and technical personnel. The producer also oversees script development and tracks the movie's financial condition during filming.

Director - is responsible for all creative aspects of a movie. The director usually helps hire actors, decides on locations and plans the shots before filming begins. During filming the director oversees the actors and crew, sets up shots and keeps the movie on schedule and on budget.

Writer - creates and shapes an original story, or adapts a book, play or other work for use on the big screen.

Cinematographer - or director of photography (D.P.), helps create the look of a movie. The D.P. directs the lighting for each scene, helps frame shots, chooses lenses, selects film stock and ensures that the visual look of the film conforms to the director's vision.

Art Director - or production designer, designs and supervises the construction of sets for a movie.

Editor - works with the director in editing the film. The director has the primary responsibility for editing decisions, but the editor often has significant input in the creative decisions involved in putting together a final cut of a movie. The editor often starts work while the film is still being shot, by assembling preliminary cuts from the daily footage.

Associate Producer - is the producer's top assistant, though this job varies from production to production. He or she is often a liaison between the production team (everyone helping to shoot the film) and the post-production team (those who work on the film after shooting).

Stunt Coordinator - lines up professional stunt people to take the risks that make the movies so exciting. The stunt coordinator makes sure that all safety regulations are followed and that all safety equipment is on the set and ready for action!

Production Manager - (P.M.) makes business deals with the crew and arranges for the production's technical needs. This includes everything from obtaining the right technical equipment to renting accommodations for actors and crew.

Unit Production Manager - (U.P.M.) reports the daily financial operation of a production to the production manager. Sometimes the U.P.M. will scout for locations and help the production manager with overall planning.

Line Producer - supervises the movie's budget. This includes unique expenses like a star's salary as well as daily costs like equipment rentals.

Assistant Director - (A.D., or First A.D. in larger productions) works to make the director more efficient. The A.D. plans a shooting schedule by breaking the script into sections that can be filmed in a single day and in the most efficient order. During filming the A.D. manages the set, helps line up shots for the director, calls for quiet on the set and coordinates the extras.

Second Assistant Director - (second A.D.) is a liaison between the production manager and the first assistant director. The second A.D. usually works with the cast and crew and handles paperwork, including call sheets (who needs to be on the set and when), actors' time sheets and production reports. This person also helps the First A.D. place extras and control crowds.

Continuity Person - tries to prevent embarrassing gaffes in the final film, such as an actor wearing a hat that mysteriously disappears in one shot then reappears in another. The continuity person logs how many times a scene was shot, how long the shot lasted, which actors were in the scene, where they were standing and any other intricate details

Camera Operator - is a member of the camera crew and runs the camera as instructed by the director and the cinematographer. The camera operator is responsible for keeping the action in frame, and responding quickly to the action as it unfolds.
