Sociometric Methods in Exploring the Relationships in a Film Crew: a Case Study
https://doi.org/10.69975/2074-0832-2024-62-4-140-157
Abstract
The process of creating a film product means that the members of the film crew are in constant close interaction with each other. A favorable psychological climate within such a group has a positive effect on the overall productivity and creative atmosphere. Thus, the relevance of studying intra-group relations in a film crew is determined by the need for competent selection of specialists for a working team, with consideration to their psychological features. The proposed pilot study opens up prospects for the introduction of socio-psychological methods in film production. From a practical point of view, this can promote group cohesion and improve intra-group relations, while from a theoretical one, it provides unique opportunities for studying the specifics of relationships in creative teams.
