Film Industry.By Beth Williamson.

Roles of filmingDirector- The director’s job is to make sure everything is in

place on set and make sure everyone is in the right place at the right time and everything goes smoothly when filming. Some names of some directors are people like Steven Spielberg one of the most famous directors in the world who directed films such as E.T, Jaws and Jurrassic Park, Edgar Wright, the director of movies like ‘Hot Fuzz’, ‘Shaun of the Dead’and ‘The World’s End’, Jeff Wadlow who directed ‘Kick-Ass 2’ and James Cameron the director of ‘The Terminator’, ‘Avatar’ and ‘Titanic (1997)’.

Editor- The editor is important because he changes and cuts out all the stuff that everyone feels isn’t necessary for the film so he is the one everyone relies on to make sure the film turns out well. Some examples of editors are Michael Cain and Eddie Hamilton who was the editor of the film ‘Kick-Ass’.

Roles of filmingProducer- The producer is the person that organises all the

background stuff like costs, actors, staging and making sure the entire production goes smoothly without any problems. Famous producers are people such as Steven Spielberg for ‘The Goonies’ and ‘E.T.’ and Adam Sandler for ‘50 First Dates’ and ‘The Waterboy’.

Writer- The writer is the one who writes the script (funnily enough!) but also has a say in how they picture the actor or actress saying their lines. Famous writers are people such as Jon Lucas and Scott Moore for ‘The Hangover’.
