What is a film trainee?

Film trainees are entry-level professionals who work on film sets or in production offices to learn about the filmmaking process. They assist experienced crew members in various departments such as camera, lighting, sound, production, and art.

Film trainees often rotate through different departments to gain exposure to multiple aspects of production.
