- Screenwriter: The screenwriter is responsible for creating the script for the film. This includes developing the story, creating the characters, and writing the dialogue. The screenwriter works closely with the director to ensure that the script aligns with their vision for the film.
- Cinematographer: The cinematographer, also known as the director of photography, is responsible for capturing the visual elements of the film. They work closely with the director to determine the best way to visually tell the story.
- Editor: The editor is responsible for assembling the footage shot by the cinematographer into the final film. They work closely with the director to ensure that the pacing and mood of the film align with their vision.
