Gaffer in film making.
Gaffer: The gaffer is the head electrician. This means that they are in charge of all the lighting personnel.
How they get this name?
Rumor has it that the name gaffer predates the sound era in a time when electricity was used to a lesser degree than today. The early stages had canvas roofs that were opened and closed to emit varying degrees of light. This canvas was moved with large gaffing hooks which had been traditionally used to land large fish.
