short films: crew

Departments

There are many departments that work on a film project, examples of these departments are Director, production, camera and lighting, production sound and art department. 


A skeleton crew is the minimum number of personnel needed to operate and maintain an item at its simplest operating requirements such as a ship or business, during an emergency and, at the same time, to keep vital functions operating. The five essentials roles are director of photography, makeup/hair, production assistant, location audio and gaffer/grip.




The two positions he missed were production designer and script supervisor. A production Designer is needed because they could make your production look great as if it had a massive budget even if it had a small budget.
Script supervisor are very important because if your production continues over a few days or longer there would have to be a lot to keep continuing through each scene such as props, costume and makeup. However, most indie films don’t have to keep continuity as much as other types of films. This is why it wasn’t included.

Makeup/hair are important because it helps the viewer identify and differentiate characters between others. Also a character’s appearance might change from scene to scene so a makeup/hair artist makes it an easier task.

A bigger budget film will most likely be longer and have a large enough budget to have specialists in each sector of production. An example of this is special effects

Logistics: time: availability of equipment What does availability of equipment refer to? During the production process of a film project there will be times where the film crew will need certain pieces of equipment to successfully shoot the scene how the director wants. Depending on the budget the project has most of the equipment that is needed will be available. However if the director wants a difficult shot such as a moving shot from high up then some equipment might need to be hired to make the shot possible. For example if the director wants a moving shot form a high point then a crane is needed. Hiring equipment can be risky if there is no planning behind it. How is equipment required?
