What are the ideal sizes and roles for student group field productions, to maximize efficiency, flexibility, and teamwork for narrative, documentary, promotional, or news videos?

Should it be a standard 4-person team of Writer / Director / Reporter, Videographer, Editor, and Production Manager, with rotating roles, or something else? And should the number and roles change if the class is an Introductory, Intermediate, or Advanced class? Our panel will provide various viewpoints and guidance, to help teachers and students create a structure for producing quality productions.
