I am going to be looking at the jobs that I think are important to my film making process.

Director
The director is very important in the film making process. The director is the person with the vision and turns the storyboard into motion pictures. The director instructs the crew of what needs to be brought and added or taken away from the film set to make it the best it can be. They also instrusct the actors of what they want to see and help make the process easier for them. Doirectors are sometimes involvved with editing too.

Producer
The producer is considered to be the boss of the movie production, next to the director. The Producer is responsible for the finances, hiring the crew members and organising the release and distribution of the film.

Screenwriter
The screenwriter is the person that creates the entire script. There wouldn't be a film without a script.

Editor
The Editor cuts the movie together in post production. They will make the final product.

Location Manager
The location manager is important because they are in charge of finding and asking for permission to use locations that will fit the film.

Storyboard Artist/Production Illustrator
This person is hired to make a drawing of a storyboard for the production members to use whilst creatng the film.

Costume Designer
A costume designer is somebody that designs clothes for the characters to wear and makes them.
