Production Roles

Production Roles

Camera Operator:

Is the person behind the camera who films the scenes and operates the camera functions, he/she will also work with the storyboard manager and the director of the film to take instructions from them and what parts to film and not to film and what angles and timing to use. They should create effective shots that will be relevant to the thriller genre.

For this role the group agreed on using Jessica for this role. The reason for this is because she is very organised and has an artistic vision into what this film should become.

Actors:

These are the people starring in the film, also known as the characters. They will also work with the director also following instructions of what to do and say in that particular scene. Their job is to get into the character they were given and to act out their life to deliever the character's personalities to the audience.

The Actors of our film are Kay, Onat, Jessica and Jasmine and Some extras. The reason for this is because each of us in the gruop wanted to take part also to have some help from our extras that we have chosen.

Sound Technician:

Is the person who is behond in creating the soundtrack and the sounds for the scene, they work with the storyboard manager to decide on what sounds they want to use for that scene.

We decided as a group to put jessica and I as sound technicians. We decided this because we both work well with music and are able to create sounds that will fit the thriller genre.

Editors:

An editors job is to edit the scenes of the film, they also work with the storyboard manager and the Camera operator to decide at what parts of the film they'll edit and what type of montage to use and hat type of sequence of shots should be used.

For this we have Chosen Kay because we think that He'll be good at Cutting and editing parts of the film that will not confuse the audience.

Film Director:

The film director is the person who is in charge of everything that goes on in the film making but is mostly in control of the actors. Also to make sure that everything what goes on is effective and reflects the film producers ideas. The film director is also in control of the elements of mise en scene. They work with the whole team and makes sure that they are pursuing in the producers aspirations.

For this we have Chosen all of us. Kay, Jessica Jasmine and Onat. The reason for this is because while we are filming we can all work together at the same time. It will be easier because we all got our queue and an idea of where to come in in particular parts of the scene.

Location Manager:

The Location manager is the person who is in charge of where the film is to be set and also chooses the different locations for different scenes. Also the location manager is in charge of what time of the day is the best time to film to enhance the impact the scene has on the audience by choosing the scenes they can relate to making them more engaged and interested in the scene.

The group chose Onat to be location Manager. The reason for this is because we think that Onat would be good at deciding what will be the right time to film and what day would be a good day to film and is willing to listen to any other suggestions.

Storyboard Manager:

The storyboard manager is the one who creates the film on a story board which shows all the other  production managers a rough idea of what is going to happen in what scene. They should make it relevant to the thriller and effective to the film. It should state the shot number, cinematography, soundtrack, actors involved edit style, Narrative, dialogue and duration of the shot. This gives the production managers a guideline of what they are suppose to be producing and is easier because they can follow the storyboard.

For this role the group has Chosen me. I also agree because for the storyboard I can also make clear indications of what is suppose to happen in what scene and also can draw clear drawings of what it should look like.
