It takes normally many people to make a film. ost of the people who make the

movie are behind the scenes. Its hard to believe: so many hours of work by so many

different people. 5ere there are some of the most relevant ob titles from the film

industry.

The C%S+ING $I#EC+)#selects the actors for the main roles and hires thesupporting actors and the e/tras.

The $I#EC+)#oversees everything taking place while the film is being made. Theob reuires considerable tact and diplomacy considering all the different personalities

involved.

The (#)$UCE#is responsible for obtaining the money to make the movie and alsofor buying the movie rights.

The SC#EEN(L%* /#I+E#usually takes an e/isting story or play and adapts it orwrites an original story directly for the screen . This script is the first thing seen by the

principal actors. This first script often determines whether a movie is made or not.
