Before we started filming we split the job roles according to our members preferences and abilities.
Producer:
The producer prepares and supervises the making of a film before finally distributing a movie. They are either employed by a film studio or they're independent, they also work closely with directors and other production staff on the shoot.
Sekemi Olunloyo was made the producer because even though it was the group effort she is organized and she was best at assisting everyone and leading them in the right direction.
Director:
The director is the person who directs the making of a film; They generally control the film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualize the script while leading the technical crew and actors in order to fulfil the final film.
Gabriella Whybrow was chosen to be director because out of the whole group overall she was the only one who had the groups final opening completely visualized. She also drew up the final storyboard and we thought she would be perfect for this job role.
Camera:
The role of the camera operator is responsible for physically operating the camera and maintaining camera angles throughout various given shots.
Halimat Dada was chosen to be the camera operator because she had the most extensive knowledge on filming because she did GCSE media studies so she's done this before and we also felt that she would be the best to capture the right moments at the right angles.
Lighting:
This is the person who controls all artificial lighting which we need on our set , they also make sure that the lighting goes with each scene. They make sure it's not too high key or low key and that it's just right.
Gabriella Whybrow was chosen for this role because she is well associated with cameras and is used to getting the lighting ready various personal/school associated projects which she has done in the past.
Editing:
This is the person responsible for putting together recorded raw material into the final product which will be suitable for viewers. This is a key role post production and this determines how good the movie will eventually look.
Jordan Ogungbo was chosen for this because he too has a set of skills solely for editing as is the best out of the whole group. He has also done this in the past for personal/school related projects.
The blog is looking excellent - well done, and nice work getting the job roles up so quickly and making your life easier! SL, Script & BBFC posts all v good, but where's the shooting schedule?
ReplyDeleteM-E-S – you might want to talk more about the connotations of certain things, certainly low key lighting which we associate with uncertainty, fear, etc. For actors, you need to consider how they will act – body language, facial expressions etc, as well as their physical attributes (which you do mention, albeit quite briefly). Finally you might wish to talk about ‘referential’ aspects of certain props/settings. i.e. where have you seen these things before and what do you associate them with (e.g. I’ve seen a cellar in Pyscho and this can therefore be used as a reference to murder/death/horror, etc. B
Storyboards – Excellent detail and well described, although a slight lack of emphasis on editing. Also one or two shot descriptions I’m not 100% on (i.e. extreme long shot in cellar?). A-
