Planning: Production Roles (Ms Heath)

During the process of creating a film there are seven production roles which are essential. Each person in a group has at least 1 role which they are assigned. 
Just because a person is assigned to a role doesn't necessarily that they will do that hole role by themselves as even if one person is assigned to a role such as editor that role would still get a group contribution.

The seven main productions roles consist of:

Camera Operator
The camera operator is basically a camera man who operates a movie camera and films the scene that take place. The camera operator must work with the storyboard organiser and create shots which are at most effective to the thriller genre.

Sound technician
This person operates and is in charge of handling all the sound aspects of the film. A sound technician would normally work with the storyboard organiser to come up with the sound that best suits that type of scene and can cause effect amongst the audience.

Editor
A editor are the people who edit scenes. most editors work closely with the camera operator and storyboard organiser to come up with the best type of montage to use in the film and how there shot sequels can cause effect.

Film Director
The film director is the person who is in charge of everything that goes on in and around the film. A directors job will consist of organising the production crew and making sure everything is effective and can relate back to the production ideas.

Location Manager
The location manager chooses the locations for different scenes that will be shot for the film. Location manager has to choose the best place to film a scene as he must make it effective to place in a film and also engaged the audience into the scene.

Actors
Actors are the people in a film who act as a convincing character. An Actor works closely with the film director as they must have the correct movements and facial expressions for example to fit the scene.

Storyboard organiser
This is a person who creates the film on a storyboard as this shows everyone a rough idea on how the scenes are going to look like. Cinematography, narrative, editing, and soundtrack will all be used in a storyboard as it gets the production crew a detailed example of what they are expected to produce. The more detailed a storyboard is the less work the production crew will have to do on the day of filming.

All The Roles within my Group:

Camera Operator; Me
I am the groups camera operator simple due to the fact that i have the most steady hands and i feel i could position the camera in an effective way to reflect the genre of the film.

Sound Technicians; Relande
The sound technician will be Relande as he has a good understanding of what sound fits which scene and how it could make our thriller trailer effective. However, the group will also have a part so say about what sounds are used.

The Editor; Relande
The editor will be Relande as we chose his narrative over the over the others as we felt we could create a stunning trailer out of it. As it was Relande's narrative, he understands it more than anyone else however, there will be a group contribution towards editing as we want to ensure everyone gets the ideas across.

The Film Director; Relande
We've put Relande down as the film director as we feel he has the correct leadership characteristics to ensure the group will produce an effective thriller.

The Location Manager; Arif
We chose Arif to be the group location manager as he loves travelling to new areas and also he has good ideas on what locations we can use to create an effective thriller.

Storyboard organiser; Yasmin
We have chosen Yasmin to do the storyboard as out of everyone in the group she is the most artistic and we feel she could create a really detailed storyboard which will make filming a lot easier when we come to do it.

Conclusion
Production roles has helped us identify every group members strength and weaknesses which is how we were able to apply a certain role to that person as we feel he/she will be most effective doing that role.
As everyone in the group has a individual role, it will make the process of filming more organised and easier to film.
