Cinema is a collective art: to produce a motion picture, lots of people must work together.

Before starting to shoot, we need a story: the script. It is written by one or more scriptwriters.

It can be an original story, or an adaptation, of a novel or comic book, for example. 

The studio that bought or commissioned the script will then assemble a team to make the film.

The first to be chosen is often the director. It is he or she who will direct the operations.
