I have learnt amongst many things that film making at a professional level is at its most efficient when everyone involved does what they are set out to do. Though this may seem common knowledge, to the amateur film maker entering the business side of film, it may come as a shock when they are given no more creative control than their specific job title entails. For instance, working as a team on a study project or a practise piece may mean that everyone chips in and offers there two cents on each aspect of the pre production through to the post production. In the real working world however, a lighting coordinator would not be entitled to question the creative direction of the director. Everyone should maintain a mutual level of respect for one another however there is a hierarchy that exists and an authority from the director, producer and their assistants. So, where in a practise film or a non-work related film everyone may be on the same wavelength and have the same creative input, it is important to remember that in a professional business you will have a given role which you should stick to.
