Films are geared toward working in clusters of pre-production, production and post-production activities.
Most students want to work on a little of everything, but it seems to me that films are operations much better geared to batch working. So there are the pre-production aspects -- scriptwriting (without which nothing much can 
happen) casting, obtaining permissions, writing risk assessments, and obtaining initial music selections.
Production involves five main crew parts; the producer (like the one working hard on the right), director, sound engineer and camera-person, with the clapperboard operator an optional fifth in cramped conditions (in cramped conditions there's no reason why the producer couldn't double up.
Post production involves editing and sound editing (the first one involves the actual film).
More thoughts another time.
