I noticed for many of the film crew members, they have done several things: for exmample, like production coordinator, camera assistant, production accountant, etc.. for one person! I'm just wondering how that works, do they work for a production company that trains them? how can a crew member specialized in a specific area gain experience/training/get to work on another (many times completely unrelated) area?

I was watching a DVD extra for Rush Hour where the director was looking at a scene he just shot. How does he (or the crew) playback the footage through video when the camera's use film stock?

I am getting ready to film a documentary film and was wondering if there are any legal requirements. This is not a big production with lots of crew. Just 3 people and all equipment will be portable. We will not need to block traffic or anything. Mainly just interviews. Some filming will be in public places like parks and sidewalks. Do I need a permit from the city. Technically, the filming will take place over a year, so again, not a huge production.

I want to get into film production as my career, but I'm not sure which department I want to work at.. Right now, I make football compilations, basically it's video-editing, and I think Im pretty decent at it. I like to make stories, characters, and put it into a film, I also like to work on music-videos. Which department fits me?? and Which college should I look for??

I am coordinating a film project in collaboration with a top notch production company. I want to save money by hiring a cheap cameraman from a company who makes wedding videos (I'm in China and theres plenty of those kind of cheap local outfits) to do the filming and turning that film over to the production company to do the editing and post production. The alternative is to have that company do the filming as well as the editing and post production. The filming content includes shots of a school and student life at the school as well as individual interviews. I expect some sacrifice in quality by hiring a less qualified local, but I am assuming it will still be good enough to make a good project, especially with professional editing and post production. Is that a fair assumption? Any advice?

I know that film production is the more vocational aspect of film studies, but what careers do you go into with film studies, and can the two be interchangeable?

I'm applying to some top universities to do a Drama degree. My personal statement is looking great so far... I've had lots of theatre, dance and music experience. But there's a gap where "film and television interests" should be. I've never done any film or tv work, and don't know how to show I am interested in it and will enjoy studying it. The drama degrees I am applying for contain both practical and theoretical film/tv work. I am in the UK.
