Each chapter examines a specific department on a film or video production and outlines the duties and responsibilities of each member of the crew throughout the production process. The text shows how the people and processes are different depending on the budget level of the project.

Praise for Wales' The People and Process of Film and Video Production
“I think it is excellent to have a text that will provide this specific, process-oriented information as needed...and to also have the extension of that information into all the procedures and chains of authority, and processes that students are likely to encounter when they enter the profession.”
Robert Harris, Fitchburg State College
“This text is extremely strong in thoroughly and understandably identifying the primary responsibilities required of each crewmember in a film production venue and it excels at defining and detailing what organizational and production tools each crewmember will need to use.”
Thomas Cook, Keene State College
“It is evident that the author of this book has much production managing/producing experience and understands the nitty-gritty of film production.”
Thomas Rondinella, Seton Hall University
“I think this is a terrific book for classes on producing...it is also a good reference book for departments or libraries of institutions teaching film, as well as for teachers to use as a reference.”
Caitlin Manning, California State University, Monterey Bay
