There is no such title. There is however a 'Director', '1st Assistant Director', '2nd Assistant Director' and a '3rd Assistant Director' who all work on the Main Unit (described below). On the 2nd Unit (also described below), you'll have the '2nd Unit Director and a '1st Assistant Director - 2nd Unit' likewise, the others mentioned above. On a feature film, there is the 'Main Unit' (with all the key cast and the huge crew that involves) and the '2nd Unit' (usually stunt players and/or minor cast and/or shooting background/crowd scenes). On big (special effects heavy) films, there are often 'Model Units', 'Arial Units' and 'Plate Units' too. The guy who was asking your minibus to pick up the props and who was wearing the fluro, was most likely from the Transport department (who co-ordinate all the vehicles); Location Department (who co-ordinate people/vehicles/equipment in and out of the filming site); or the 2nd Assistant Director (who would co-ordinate all the crowd/extra crew needed for filming that day). Him asking you to pick up the props was a big boo-boo: he would have got his arse whipped had the 'grown-ups' (Producers) found out. Lucky him that your driver owned up to the mistake. Just thought I'd enlighten you with my boring movie knowledge... That bloke wasn’t a ‘First Unit Director’. There is no such title.
