Independent research

Setting: In film and TV the setting involves the time, place in which the film takes place and it also helps to develop the plot of a film / TV show.

As well as the setting there are people that are in charge of designing the set and also decorating it. These two departments are some of the most important in terms of the set, there is also a buyer who buys items for the set, a lead man who is in charge of the sets crew, a set dresser who applies and removes props from the set ready for the next scene and a Greensman 

who is responsible for all artistic elements to the set.

Along with the plot, themes and characters, the setting is regarded as being one of the most important components of a film. Taken from Wikipedia.

Props: All films and TV shows use props. To be efficient in the use of props they have somebody that is called a Prop Master. The prop master is responsible for every single prop that appears with in a film or show. As well as a prop master, the film directors have to find a prop maker who makes the props and also, if necessary, a weapons master.

Costumes: All films have a costume designer. A costume designer is responsible for designing and making the costumes that would be used in the film / show. They designer is also responsible for the organisation of the costumes in terms of when they are used and by who. The costumes designer is one of the people that works the closest to the director because he/ she needs to understand what the characters need and should have.

With the costume designer comes a costume standby. The costume standby is somebody that is present on the set at all-time whilst filming is in progress. They are responsible for ensuring that all of the costumes are up to standard and un damaged. As well as these two there are many others that have an important contribution towards the costumes that are used.
