Production of films is an affair that makes use of very many members within the filming team. This means that many film crew jobs are grabbed in any movie producing company. The crew is always a very different group from the cast. The later is involved in the actual enactment of events in front of cameras, or contribute their voices in filming. They are also not synonymous to producers. The later are company shareholders or intellectual property.
This team is made up of various departments; each with its duties and responsibilities. The mandates of each department have, however, been changing over time. The duties performed by a member of a certain department in the past are not necessarily the ones done by somebody with the same title in this industry today.

The duties performed by a member of a certain department in the past are not necessarily the ones done by somebody with the same title in this industry today.
Three sections which complement one another are the major elements in producing moving pictures. These sections are the post-production phase, the principal image shooting and the pre-production sessions. Every event in shooting a movie is associated with one of these 3 areas. It is equally common to divide the crew into two groups; the above the line and below the line crews.
The director in a production is not always a member of any department in the production team. He/she oversees the flow and series of actions that make up the plot. He gives instructions and organizes actors. It is also his responsibility to choose a setting that is appropriate for every scene. He tells camera men where to put their cameras, and controls the amount of light needed.
Another important element in filming is production. Most people do not consider it a department on its own. They always consider it a series of responsibilities. This area is made up a producer, an executive producer, a manager of production, producing coordinators and their deputies, some assistant directors, accountants and location managers. All these people compose the front office.
The production section is also made up of individuals known as line producers and vice producers. The former have the responsibility liaising with budgeting officers and the producing studio. They are referred to as a line producers due to their duties of lining up every material needed in producing a film. Production assistants help in handling general responsibilities in production.
The accounts department is also an important part in filming. Officers in this department are in charge of all financial matters. They ensure that every participant gets his/her salary, and all matters involving money are accomplished as per the budget. In Hollywood, there is a single accounting department that manages finances in all movies.
Another area in this team is referred to as locations. The leader of this group is a location manager. He/she has the duty of finding befitting settings for every scene. He/she then ensures that these settings are

He/she then ensures that these settings are ready to accommodate actions. Junior staffs in this area are the location scout, assistant location manager and location deputy manager among many other members.
The last area we shall discuss is that charged with providing continuity. These people follow every single scene keenly to ensure that actors do their parts as planned. In case of any deviation, they prompt people responsible for corrections. There are many people involved in filming, and these are only few of them.
