Planning: Production Roles Ms Heath

Production Roles
 

•Camera Operator is the person responsible for handling the camera in order to film. Operating a camera needs someone with a steady hand, an eye for good shots and is able to maintain composition for large periods of time. This role we have gave to Adam because he has a lot of experience with filming using camcorders and tripods cameras which means he has a steady hand

•The actors are the people you see in the film, they are the ones that play different character who each have different personas to define their roles. 

•The Sound technician is a key member of the group who also story organiser . They need to see what sounds are able to fit in what scenes, what sounds would be most effective with what character and to know what reaction the technician wants to receive from the audience which is why the sound technician works with the story organiser and no one knows or understands the film more. This role goes to Trey because he understands the micro-element sound better and knows what reaction and tension he want to happen from the target audience. It also makes sense as he is one half of the story organiser as well

•The Editor is someone that works with the full length of filming and is able to cut certain scenes and parts out while combining others to create a flowing sequence to making a finished motion picture that is able to stick to the plot and that also looks professional.  This role goes to me and Adam because we both have previous experience in the subject of media and are aware of all the editing techniques to create a good and effective thriller film.

•The Director is someone that is able to take charge, has the potential to lead a group and can get the groups best effort into  acting as well as being able to tell the filming crew what to film and where. The person that has this role is Trey because he get on with everyone and is therefore able to run things smoothly. Also because he came up with part of the storyboard, he already knows what he wants the actors to do and how he wants the film looks in his head.

•Location manger is someone who is able to locate areas suitable for filming. They understand how important the micro element lighting is and is able to find an area with the perfect balance making it just that more of an authentic thriller. They are also able to find settings that are conventional to thriller films and therefore making the thriller film more. The role I have given this to is to Nicholas because he is  very good at spotting great locations. Furthermore he does photography as well so he knows about colour contrasting and lighting very well.

•Storyboard Organiser is usually the person who came up with the narrative of the film. They are able to put their ideas to paper and in a sequence. It is basically the first steps to making a film. In the storyboard you have to decide how many scenes there are, what sounds you want in those scenes, the characters in the scenes and more. This role goes to Trey and me because we merged our story ideas together.
