Planning Production roles

PLANNING PRODUCTION ROLES:

While a production role of a film is taking place, there are at least seven main production roles that are crucial.

The cameraman/woman: This person films the action that takes place during a film. They have to work with the film director and the storyboard organizer, to see how they want the action to be filmed to get the right film shots, film angles and film movement.



 Sound technician: This person has to create the sound in the film for each scene, this includes the soundtrack theme for the film.This is in order to make the film more effective and impacting to the audience. Also, the sound has to have a connection with the film genre.

Actor: The actors have to play the role of the characters that are given to them by the director. Crucially, in all aspects the actors in every context have to be in their character's frame.


Director: The directors are the people who make the characters. They essentially have the overall say in what happens in the film, where it happens and how it happens. They are in control over all aspects of film making. This is in order to make the film a good representation towards the film distributor.


Location manager: The role of this person is to find a location where the action will take place. A risk assessment has to take place too see whetehr the place is safe enough for the filming to take place. The location they find must be effective enough for the genre of the film.

Editor: The role of this person is to edit the video of the filming in as way that is effective on the audience. They will have to work with the director on how they want the filming to be shown to the audience so that It won't confused the audience.

Producer: The role of this person is to manage the budget of the film production. They supervise the making of the film. They present the film to the film distributor in order to gain investment. This person provide the equipment for the film to the directors, editors etc.

Also, Ken has perfection when it comes to using softwares to edit videos of a film, this is why he is the editor for our thriller.

Me: Lighting technician and cameraman
       I have a perfect understanding of which lighting would make the action more impacting to the audience which is the reason for me being the lighting technician. In addition, I can perfectly film scenes in the required movement, angle and shot which makes me the main cameraman.
