gaffer
In the film industry, this term is a professional title denoting a specific rank of authority over lighting. It is a neutral, technical term used in production call sheets and credits, distinct from the creative role of the cinematographer.
In British English and certain industrial dialects, the word carries a colloquial tone. When referring to a boss or an elderly man, it suggests a blend of respect and familiarity, though it can lean toward the patronizing or rustic depending on the speaker's intent and social standing.
Meanings
The head electrician on a film or television set, responsible for managing the lighting crew and executing the lighting plan.
The gaffer worked closely with the director of photography to create a moody atmosphere.
A boss or foreman, particularly in a construction or industrial setting.
