Chart in concentric lines. At the centre one can find the crew – the director and the executive producer, then the editor-in-chief, the cinematographer and the text editor. This inner circle is connected to 12 sections, each three belonging to the “front of documentary material”, to the “front of literary work”, the “front for recording work” and the “front for editing work”. The document presents an organisational plan for systematic documentary work.
