What is a CV by definition?:  As explained on the Government Website ,  "A CV is a short, written summary of your skills, achievements and experience which relate to a role you want. You use it in the first stage of applying for jobs. Employers often ask for a CV instead of an application form but sometimes you'll need both."

Commonly when making a film there is a line. Your role will either be above the line or under the line. People who have a less significant role within the production of the film will be classed as being under the line. People who are more significant, such as director, producer etc, Will be place above the line. The line is a reference to how you will be paid.
