who’s the boss?
This is easily explained on the film set – the bottom line is that everyone listens to the director. The plot originates from his head, he determines when, where and how to film. Do we all dance to his tune on the set? The answer is probably yes! Because while the director and director of photography (DoP for short) put everything in the limelight, the rest of the gang works to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
