Actors - Have to take the role of a specific character, either because they auditioned for it or it was assigned to them. Depending on the character and the depth required to portray it, actors have to do a considerable amount of research and preparation for their character.

Film Directors - Are the main creative force behind a film.They are responsible for making a wide range of artistic decisions. Together with the producer, the director hires the actors and staff. The film director works with the staff day to day so the director must be familiar with all of the skills involved in producing a film. 

Sound technician - Sound technicians are required to assemble, operate and maintain the technical equipment used to record, amplify, enhance, mix or reproduce sound.

Location managers - Have to research the background of the film and organise a wide range of suitable locations for production outside of the studio.

Storyboard organisers (artist) - Have to draw a collection of pictures and illustrations that show what happens in the script and help the director visualise and set up a shot.
