Planning: Production Roles

Production Roles:
Production roles are the roles that the people have during the production of the film, there are 7 different roles in the production of the film.

Camera Operator:
What the camera operator is the person that takes the footage of the film, the camera operator works with the storyboard manager to get the correct camera shots, angles and movements in order to get the correct emotional feelings that the director wants from the audience when watching the film.

Producer:
This is the person that will manage all of the budgets within the making of the film. Also as the producer this is also the main person that works alongside with the director to gives ideas of what could happen but he only can give ideas towards the creation of the film.

Director:
This is the person will over see the whole creation of the film, he/she is in charge of everything that happens. Throughout this whole creation of the film the producers will give ideas of what they want for the film and if the director will like it he will use it but any choice that will be made will be by him as he is the person that has the ultimate say.

Actor/s:
With being an actor, this is the person that will be acting a certain role within the film. This role is important because you will need a actor to act in the film, and there are different types of acting roles.

Story boarder:
This is the person that will put the narrative into a graphic pictures, what the story boarder does is create the illustrating images that are in a order to tell the narrative. Also what this role does is the person has to think of the camera size,angles and movement as the camera man will work with the story boarder to get the idea of what to take when shooting the film.

Hair, Make Up & Costume:
The person that does all the hair and make up for the character, will be important because they are in charge of what the actors will look like, also the costume for the film is decided as well because it will have to go with the stereotypes that the film might use of the character or not. But the costume is important because this is what the actor will wear for the film.

Editor:
Editing Manager gets the footage of the film, and edits the scene to create the effect upon the audience. The editor will work with the camera operator and the sound technician in order to to create the scenes and shots director would want without making the audience confused at what they are watching.

Sound Technician:
This is the person that will create the sound in each of the scenes. The story boarder will also work with the sound technician as they will help decide on what types of sounds that they will use in each scene. As the sound technician is creating the sound for the film this person will make the sound effective towards the audience, and the thriller genre.

Roles Within The Group:

Sean -
We picked Sean to be the director because he comes up with most of the ideas and has the best image of how the thriller is going to come out, also since he is director. We also have him for the sound and editing because he will have a more of an understand of what to do, with the sound and edits, also he is the story board manager which makes the idea for all the camera angles ETC. Furthermore he is also acting within the thriller is is great because we don't have to rely on an external person to act for us, this is good because since he is with us filming he is acting for the thriller.
 
Darhyl -
As everybody has picked me to be the producer of the thriller because i come up with some ideas and past it on to Sean the director which makes the final decision, and since i will work by the side of the director i am also the camera man. This works well because his is the director and the story board manager which allows me the camera operator to have a better idea of what the director would want. Also as i am the camera man i am in charge of the lighting to because i would have the best understand of the types of light to use and where it is needed.

Sandro -
We picked Sandro as another actor to be in thriller, for the same reason as Sean its best to rely on the people that your working with. Also he is the location manager of where we will shot all the footage of the thriller and he will also help edit the footage for the thriller.

Kloe -
Kloe has been picked to be the sound technician as she has done music before and can understand the concept that we have for the thriller and can create the sounds for the thriller along side with the director. Also as she has some understanding with hair, make up and costume we have picked her to be in charge of this because she will know what the characters would have to wear and will do the make up for the actors.

Conclusion -
As we as a group have learnt the definitions of the roles within the production, this helped us understand where we as a group can use our abilities to the best we can within the group to make this thriller come out the best it can.
Since we all have been asigined roles within the group this helps us understand where we stand and we have to do the jobs of that role in the production of the thriller.

  1. Some great evidence of planning here by assigning roles which will help the group whilst out filming and editing, well done. The roles are defined well and you justify your group choices well by relating to skills and attributes each member of the group has. Make sure as a group you all stick these roles as it will help you in all your production/post-production stages.
