A production team is the group of technical staff who produce a play, television show, recording, or film. Generally the term refers to all individuals responsible for the technical aspects of creating of a particular product, regardless of where in the process their expertize is required, or how long they are involved in the project. For example, in a theatrical performance, the production team includes not only the running crew, but also the theatrical producer, designers and theatre direction.
A production company in filmmaking is composed of a film crew and a television crew in video production.
In music, the term production team typically refers to a group of individuals filling the role of "record producer" usually reserved for one individual. Some examples of musical production teams include Matmos and D-Influence.
A production team (simplified Chinese: 生产队; traditional Chinese: 生産隊; pinyin: shēng chǎn duì) was formerly the basic accounting and farm production unit in the people's commune system in People's Republic of China from 1958 to 1984.
Production teams were largely disbanded during the agricultural reforms of 1982-1985. In the administrative hierarchy, the team was the lowest level, the next higher levels being the production brigade and people's commune. Typically the team owned most of the land and was responsible for income distribution. Since 1984 production teams have been replaced by village groups.
