Imagine all of the times you have ever gone to the movie theatres in your lifetime. There are many people who are doing important jobs in the film industry. Take the time to check out the names in the opening credits the next time you go to the movie theatres. Check out the people whose names fill the jobs of producers and executive producers. Producers and executive producers fill a very important role in the making of movies; these people are the investors that fund the movie, and without them the movie would never be made. Sometimes there are many people involved in the producing process.

The executive producer is usually the one that the rights to the property go to during the planning stage of the film; the rights usually include the play or novel that the movie is based on. The job of finding investors for the film also goes to the executive producer. A line producer is usually hired by the executive producer to do the day to day activities involved in the film.

When it comes to the pre-production stage of the film, the only crew involved is the casting director and the executive producer. Not long after that the costume designer is added to the team. The costume designer is the one that both designs and makes all the costumes and clothes for the movie.

It is time for filming to begin once the director is found; from now on the director is in charge. The director is responsible for the film's look as well as the actor's performance. Whatever you get out of a film is mostly done by the director.

A director's style is unique and varies widely between different directors. Some directors rely on imaginative improvisation. On the other hand, there are a few directors who choose to write out specific instructions that must be followed by everyone involved in any given shot. There are even some directors who write and produce the films they direct. There are teams of professionals that often work together in many films; for example, there are many directors and producers that work together on many occasions. Many films out there today are directed by the main actor as well. The role of the director is obviously one of the most important executive positions in the making of any film.

The roles of the director, the costume designer, the executive producer, and the other producers are extremely important to the making of any high budget film. When it comes to making or breaking a film, the responsibility of the films integrity falls on these executives.
