To start this bad boy off, I’m going to be discussing the specific teams within the Production Process for a film.
Firstly we have the Director under this we have also the 1st AD, 2nd AD, and 3rd AD these crucial people arrange the vision, running’s and scheduling of the filming process.
The Director is the creative person who decides how each shot is going to be portrayed on camera, whether the films plot is flowing correctly, deciding the technical details including lighting, along with how the actors will act out each specific scene.
Next we have the ADs (Assistant Directors) with the first carrying out the day to day running on the shoot, making sure the film is on schedule, ensuring a safe focusede sense to put together.
AN AD generally is the chief assistant ON the set, and will normally have requests of other jobs including sourcing props for each location, however big or small, significant or insignificant they will need to organize these! Art department will also discuss many aspects with the director and the graphics designer to make sure that the creative brief is being achieved. Art department is made up of a Production Designer (Top dog in the arty aspect, making sure everything from settings, costume and makeup are visually correct in the film) Art Director (works closely with the Production designer making sure that the aesthetics of the set are correct) they would also have a specific team who would make sure that things are set up correctly, including continuity between takes.
Art Department are responsible for dressing the sets in principle, but have a branch of other jobs including sourcing props for each location, however big or small, significant or insignificant they will need to organize these!

Costume Designer’s work funnily enough on...... costumes and are there to make sure the character is portrayed correctly in the film through the clothing they are wearing. A costume designer would normally have a costume superviser who would help manage budget for clothing, sourcing of costumes, and other logistical aspects making sure the running is smooth.
The Hair and Make up department have a similar job outcome as costumes, that is to make sure the character/s on screen are appearing how invisioned by the director, which could be making the actor look younger, older, dead, or beaten up. With the hairdresser doing the same but with hairstyles. Make up artists usually work closely with prosthetics also, therefore dealing with scenes such as someone breaking and arm and so on.
Special Effects department also tie in with the Art Department family, usually having a SPFX supervisor and also a SPFX assistant, there job role is to design set elements that can burn, explode and collapse safely without putting any cast/ crew member (or anyone as a matter of fact) in danger. So they have to make logistical decisions on how to not burn down the set, aswell as rigging the set for certain stunts and assistiwe have the cs in most cases.
Production Assistants assist in the Production Office to help manage shooting logistics, but also help out other HoDs (Heads of Departments) in particular the Assistant Director with managing things such as crowd control and making sure the talent get on set within there call time.
I found this skillset link very helpful, it explained what each job entails and what to expect.
