=== Sets === ; [[Scenic design|Set designer]] : The set designer is the draftsman, often an architect, who realizes the structures or interior spaces called for by the production designer. [[Set decorator]]: The set decorator is in charge of the decorating of a film set, which includes the furnishings and all the other objects that will be seen in the film. They work closely with the production designer and coordinate with the art director. In recognition of the set decorator's importance, the [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] for art direction is given jointly to both the production designer and the set decorator. [[Set dresser]] The set dressers apply and remove the "dressing"; i.e., furniture, drapery, carpets, wall signs, vinyl decals β everything one would find in a location, (even doorknobs and wall sockets, when such items do not fall under the purview of construction.) Most of the swing gang's work occurs before and after the shooting crew arrives, but one set dresser remains with the shooting crew and is known as the on-set dresser. In some countries, such as Ireland or the United Kingdom, the set dressing department is referred to as dressing props department. Informally, in the US, the department is often referred to simply as "set dec". ; ; Buyer : The buyer works with, and reports to, the set decorator. The buyer locates, and then purchases or rents the set dressing. Then there is the [[Leadman]]. The leadman (or leadperson) is the foreman of the set dressing crew, often referred to as the [[swing gang]]. They also assist the set decorator. ; [[Set dresser]] : The set dressers apply and remove the "dressing"; i.e., furniture, drapery, carpets, wall signs, vinyl decals β everything one would find in a location, (even doorknobs and wall sockets, when such items do not fall under the purview of construction.)

Depending on the scope of the greens work in a film, the greensperson may report to the art director or may report directly to the production designer. If a significant amount of greens work is required in a film, then the greens may be an identifiable sub-department, with its own team β often of a size numbering double figures β and hierarchy (e.g., greensmaster, greens supervisor, foreperson, leading hand, laborers). Specialists from other areas of the art dept. (e.g., fabricators, sculptors, painters, scenics) may also be drafted to work exclusively on greens.
