Across
- 2. I am in charge of decorating the set, including the furnishings and all the other objects that will be seen in the film. I pretty much go shopping!
- 6. I am in charge of operating the camera dolly. I place, level, and move the dolly track, then push and pull the dolly, with usually a camera operator riding and a camera assistant helping out. My job falls under that "department of hands”.
- 7. I work closely with the Director and Producer to understand the story requirements, suggest actors for each role, as well as arranging and conducting interviews and auditions.
- 11. I work only on TV shows and I am responsible for managing the overall story across episodes. In reality TV, I am responsible for creating a story line via editing/producing the show's source footage. I work closely with the TV screenwriters and at times may write a thing or two (like the opening words the host says).
- 13. I am responsible for overseeing the creative aspects of a film. I control the content and flow of the film's plot, I coach the performances of actors, I select the locations in which the film will be shot, and I manage technical details such as the positioning of cameras, the use of lighting, and the timing and content of the film's soundtrack. I am the boss of the creative side of the film and if I’m also Producer... I’m the Big Boss.
- 14. I keep track of what parts of the script have been filmed and make notes of any changes between what was actually filmed and what appeared in the script. I make notes on every shot, and keep track of props, blocking, and other details to ensure CONTINUITY from shot to shot and scene to scene.
- 16. I am responsible for keeping the camera operator in focus while it is shooting. I also make sure the camera operator and the camera don’t bump into things and if need be I physically guide them through the shot.
- 20. I operate a motion control camera rig. Basically I use a remote to control a 'camera robot' that can consistently repeat camera moves for special effects use. In sports (especially football) I work the zipline camera going above the field.
- 21. I am in charge of finding and managing all the props used in the film.
