Production Roles - Miss Miller

There are many different important roles in the making of a film, and their are a few main people that we need to explain what they do and how important they are to a film. Within my group opening sequence we have allocated specific people specific roles so that everything is made quicker so it is less time consuming, and that everything effectively will become a better film in the future. By having specific roles allocated to different people it reduces the stress amongst the film crew and can reduce the time period in which it takes to make and everything is therefore more organised.

The main roles that are used within films are:

• Producer -  A is a person responsible for the financial and managerial aspects of the making of a film.  

• Director - A person who is in charge of an activity, department, or organisation.

• Actor - A person whose profession is acting on the stage, in films, or on television

• Director of Photography - A cinematographer is the chief over the camera and lighting crews working on a film, and responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image

• Sound Technician - They prepare, operate and maintain technical equipment to amplify, enhance, mix or reproduce sound.

• Screenplay Writer - A screenwriter or scriptwriter or scenarist is a writer who practices the craft of screenwriting, writing screenplays on which mass media such as film

• MES Co-ordinators -  This is someone who controls costumes, make-up, iconography etc

• Editors - Somebody who makes the film flow by editing the scenes and cutting things out

For our opening sequence we have allocated specific roles for our group, this will make sure we all have an individual task and will help us to film it and organise it a lot faster than if we allocated all the duties to one particular person. We have also done this as we believe it wouldn't be fair to allocate one person to do all of the work. Therefore it will be a fair project with different roles.

I am the director of our opening scene and I was alocated this by my group as they believe I am the most experienced in managing a team and a group of people. I give good instructions and people listen to me and take my advice well. This is why I have been allocated this role.

Charlotte Monksfield is the producer as she is a very good mathsmatician so she can budget our film and keep us in order financially. Also we some managerial experiences in her job outside of school she will also be able to help and advise myself with different aspects of our film. We have chosen her for this particular role as she is very well organised and keeps on track with everything he does. She is also very helpful and takes instructions efficiently.

Freddie Wilson is one of our main actors. We have chosen him for this role as he is very dramatic and very realistic when it comes to acting. He takes drama Alevel and gets very good grades in the subject. He is also very enthusiastic when acting and listens to instructions from myself and Charlotte.

Olivia Rugely is another one of our actors. She also takes drama A-level and takes her acting very seriously. She is very hard working and whenever acting she is realistic and can make people relate to her when doing a specfic role. She is very enthusiastic and looks lik your typical blonde victim as she is very pretty with long hair, so therefore this is why we chose her.


After filming make sure you include a paragraph on how each person did in their allocated role and could anything be done differently.
