Special effects supervisor
Hello,
I read somewhere that if you say something like
Special effects supervisor
You should take out "s" and make it
Special effect supervisor.
That is, make a plural word singular if it precedes a word like above.
But why do movies use "special effects supervisor"?
Is there some rule on using "s" in this case?
Thank you.

I've never seen 'special effect' used in the singular in a general sense. Keep it in the plural.

So you do this only if the second word is used in plural?
And if its used as singular, you don't?
