| Summary: | In France, in the 1920s, collaboration materialized in the form of work tasks and organizational practices illustrating communication and exchanges between professions at all stages of the film production.The script and the shooting script (where the shots and scenes are generally numbered before the shooting) constitute working tools before as well as during the shooting and, probably, until the editing. Many script, shooting and production documents kept in archives are annotated in different handwriting and using several pencils and could have been used by different people and useful to different departments. The numbering is also recorded during the shooting, using slates or fans placed in front of the camera at the start of each shoot. These numbers will be useful during the editing. The dynamics of the collective work are visible both in the paper documents and the iconography of this period in the history of movies.This article studies the material history and organization of the stage, focusing on the organization of teamwork and taking as its object the tools and traces of mediation, the emergence of tasks, skills and their distribution between various positions such as director’s assistant and stage manager. The study of the administrative organization of the production of a film contributes to the study of collaboration in cinema because that teamwork begins when the script is written. Within these tools and practices, a (dis)continuous and collective process of film production resonates. |
