Specialists

Specialists are those who have a unique amount of skills and experience at a certain role. Specialists often work once hired occasionally, in this case in the film industry, that can manage any work that requires assistance from the specialist as they have the highest and valuable knowledge of that project and know what details and methods are best. 

Specialists are not always continuously hired, they are mainly hired whenever an organisation requires their assistance.

Specialists can also be recruited for training and development programs for new staff who require to learn a new range of skills which can help them succeed at the job role. 

Specialist roles can include:

• Technical Specialists - such as specialist pilots.
• Specialist Trainers - such as specialists who can train actors for a particular role. 
• Production Specialists - such as an outside specialist who is hired to handle production tasks which requires a specific skill.

Experts

An expert refers to someone who is highly skilled and have great knowledge in a particular subject. Experts can be of great assistance to the film industry as they can help enhance how realistic certain features are, such as acquiring a historian who can help describe features of a certain time period or someone who is required to give details of a particular series of events that occurred, in order to provide more accuracy. 

Talent

 

Talent can also be referred to as specialists who are hired, whether they are actors for the whole duration of the film, or stand in actors who are hired for a short period of time to perform certain activities that the original cast may be incapable of doing. This includes dancing, singing or even stunts in some cases. 

Public

Public refers to anybody outside of those who are involved with the production itself, which includes anybody included to make effects or background scenes. The public is not referred to as extras as they are not paid to do it, gaining permission from the public can make the scene more realistic than paying a large amount of money to rent out a location and then hire additional extras. This occurs only when a public place gives permission for filming to take place at that location, then the team can start looking for volunteers to participate in filming.
