Crew roles (Prep Work)

In the film industry, you usually have a small crew that has different jobs to do within the production and post-production stage so they have a duty to do or if they face any complications then the due date that the film needs to be finished and distributed to cinemas worldwide for audiences to watch it since they got interested in it will not be in time at all and may pay a heavy fee to different companies to whom they promised that the film will be done by a certain time.  

Director: The director beings the artistic style to the film as it is his own artistic and technical vision for the movie that is being made but does work with the crew in the pre-production, Production and post-production stages. So he is responsible for directing the performances of the actors which he can get the best out of them  but not only that, he is also responsible for the camera work with the framing, lenses so it keeps the focus on the action happening when shooting a scene and the composition of the shot.
