Scene: Pizza Delivery 






Produced by 


Tarquin Gotchexecutive producer
John Hughes
producer
Mark Levinsonexecutive producer
Mark Radcliffe
associate producer
Scott M. Rosenfeltexecutive producer (as Scott Rosenfelt)

Job duties: 
The producers created a realistic holiday scene by putting Christmas lights all over the house, having snow to make it feel like a traditional white Christmas, and when the pizza delivery man tries to drive away in a hurry his tire is spinning on a sheet of ice and slush.  The producers also have to incorporate sound effects in every scene, so every little noise that goes on in a movie is created by the producers.  The main things producers do are to make sure the appearance of a scene is exactly how the director wanted it.

Job duties: 
The make up artists and hair stylist's jobs in this scene is to make sure the pizza boy and Kevin's face and hair were camera ready.  That entails covering any blemishes or marks they don't want to show, fixing their hair so the pizza boy's hair looked swooped out of the hat how they wanted, and Kevin's was fluffy and clean looking.  Another thing the make up artist do is create an image of what is being experienced by the actor through make up.  For example, in this scene they made the pizza boy have very rosey cheeks and a red nose, because it was cold outside.
