Casting jobs and Screen Shots

Production Manager

• The Production Manager supervises the physical aspects of the production (not the creative aspects) including personnel, technology, budget, and scheduling. It is the production manager's responsibility to make sure the filming stays on schedule and within its budget. The PM also helps manage the day-to-day budget by managing operating costs such as salaries, production costs, and everyday equipment rental costs. The PM often works under the supervision of a line producer and directly supervises the Production Coordinator.

• Director
The Director is responsible for overseeing the creative aspects of a film, including controlling the content and flow of the film's plot, directing the performances of actors, organizing and selecting the locations in which the film will be shot, and managing technical details such as the positioning of cameras, the use of lighting, and the timing and content of the film's soundtrack. Though the director wields a great deal of power, he or she is ultimately subordinate to the film's producer or producers. Some directors, especially more established ones, take on many of the roles of a producer, and the distinction between the two roles is sometimes blurred.

• Location Manager
The location manager assists the Director and the Production designer in finding, securing, and coordinating filming locations. Location is often considered to be a separate department.

• Publicist
The publicist handles the publicity of a film. They promote the film by issuing press releases and overseeing advertisements.

• Set Decorator
The set decorator is in charge of the decorating of a film set, which includes the furnishings and all the other objects that will be seen in the film. He or she works closely with the production designer and coordinates with the art director. In recognition of the set decorator's importance, the Academy Award for Art Direction is given jointly to both the production designer and the set decorator.

• Production sound mixer
The production sound mixer is head of sound department on the set, responsible for recording all sound on a set. This requires choice and deployment of microphones, choice of recording media, and mixing of audio signals in real time.

• Boom operator
The boom operator is an assistant to production sound mixer, responsible for microphone placement and movement during a take. The boom operator uses a boom, a special piece of equipment that allows precise control of the microphone at a much greater distance away from the actors. In France, the boom operator is known as the perchman.
