• The
costume designer shows sketches
and samples to the director and creates costumes for each
character that not only relate to the overall look of the
film, but also are practical
for the actor to wear. Wardrobe assistants
shop for wardrobe and seamstresses sew any special costumes
needed.
•
If visual effects are called for, the director and producers
will meet with the visual effects  supervisor
to discuss how the effects, which may include miniature models,
animation or computer generated graphics, will be incorporated
into the film. The D.P. may need to discuss what live-action
shots are required to accommodate the visual effects elements.
•
Any special effects that are not computer-generated must also
be planned. The special effects crew, who may be blowing up
a building or planning a lengthy car chase, must go over logistics,
safety, and rigging with all key personnel involved with the
sequence, including the stunt coordinator, who oversees all
the stunt
doubles.
•
If a movie calls for prosthetics or special make-up effects,
make-up effects artists may have to create a number of sample
masks, fat suits or bloody limbs before the director signs
off on just the right one.
