46. The costume designer is in charge of designing all of the costumes needed for the actors in the production, they also do the creating, hiring and transporting too. The director will give the costume designer a brief on how they want the characters to look within the film therefore this is crucial to the success of the film as if they get the costume wrong it may ruin the atmosphere of the feel and put the audience off. This is because the costume is important to revealing the elements of the film, as the characters are immediately judged on the way they look as this means that the costume designer must know the characters personality and be able to match their history with what they are wearing. For example if an actor is wearing rags and another one is wearing a expensive huge dress then this helps to compare the different classes and the period of the film. Therefore this needs a lot of research. A costume designer is in charger of the of a team and gives direction to them this helps to create a successful project. Another job the costume designer does is that he keeps track of the budget and costs associated with the creation of the costumes and that they achieve the deadline.

They operate the boom microphone which could be hand-held on a long arm or dolly mounted which is mounted on a moving platform. Boom operators position them correctly around the set or if an actor needs on on their clothes. By doing this the sound mixer can capture the best quality dialogue and sound effects. Another job they do is that they are responsible for the sound equipment, that it is working and carrying out any repairs or problems they have.
73. Catering companies are hired by Production Managers who put the work out to tender according to the catering budget agreed with the Producer. Before the start of the shooting Unit Leaders organise the packing of the catering truck with equipment and food they will need they will plan the food in advance so this makes the process easier. Once the shooting has began on each day, they set off early in the morning, to arrive on set in time to prepare cooked breakfasts for the cast and also the crew. Therefore it is a time consuming job as you are working on set every day of filming. A Catering Crew typically involves Unit Leaders, Location Chefs, Salad Persons Dish Washers. This shows that there are a lot of different job roles within the catering crew and all need to be there to make it a success.
