Production Roles - Miss Miller

People need to be allocated specific roles when creating a film as the film will be produced to a better standard as each person will have a speciality which they will be doing. Thefore the quality of the film will be at a better standard as each person will be be concentrating on one specific part of the film instead of manner. It will also be created at a faster pace as you have more people who will be contributing to the final piece and will be specifically focusing on that certain aspect to make your film as good and quickly produced as possible.

Examples of production roles:

Producers - Producers of a film will prepare the film and supervise the making of it before presenting the final peice to the film distributor. They would rather be employed by a film studio or they would be independant. This role is imporant as they help to create the film and to keep it in order so that everything goes to plan.

Directors - A film director is the person who directs the making of the film. Directors create an overall vision of what the film will be and helps to keep everything in order my directing the actors, directors of photography etc. A director is a cruical link between the production, technical and creative teams. A director is responsible for translating and altering the written script into actual images and sounds. A directors main jobs include casting, script editing, shot composition, shot selection and editing. Directors are an imporant aspect to film making as they direct everyone what to do and create the visual image of what the film would look like. Without a director it would be very unorganised.

Actors- An actor is someone who acts in a film. Without actors there wouldnt really be a narrative. Actors help to make the film more enjoyable as there emotions and expressions help to connect the audience with the characters and to portay an idea to the audience what they are like so that they get an impression of what the film could be like and to make judgements on the different characters.

Director of photography(camera man) - Directors of photography are a key aspect needed to create a film. They are requested by the director and must be approved by the financiers. They work closely with the direcor and production designer to help to give the film its visual signiture and to make it as exciting as possible. They use elements such as lighting, framing, camera moving etc to help to create an amazing film and to highlight different parts of the film in a clearer view which will help the audience and the actors connect.

Music Producers - Music can have many different roles in different film genres. For example they could be a key aspect in musicals. In the thriller genre it can help to build tension and to shock the audience. Different music and sound can also help to define the characters, location, period and ethnicity of films. It could also generate an emotion response by connecting the audience with the film and the characters.

Screen play writer - This is the person who comes up with the narrative of the film and write the script of the film. This sets the outline of the film and what the film will be about. It also creates the characters. Screen play writers are imporant as they create the narrative of the film.

MES Co-ordinators - The mise en scene co-ordinators are incharge of all the aspects of mise en scene. For example; lighting, space, composition, costume, hair and makeup styles, and acting.

We decided what each person would be doing by asking them what they would prefur and what they would most enjoy and what we each thought they would be the best at and would do the most well in so that we could make our thriller opening sequence to the best ability as we could.
Producers - Harry Hyett, Co-Joshua Lester. A person responsible for the financial and managerial aspects of the making of the film.

Directors - Harry Hyett. We decided to choose harry hyett as our director as he is very organasied and will make our thriller filming run as efficiently as possible so we can get our filming done to the best of our ability. Harrys job was to tell the actors me and josh what to do. He also told josh our director of photgraphy what camera angles to use and what to film.

 

Actors - Our actors were me and Luke Durrance. We decided to choose me as one of the actors as i am a young blonde femlale. This makes our thriller conventional as the audience would believe i was a stereotypical dumb vulnerable blonde. This would make the audience think they knew what was going to happen. We chose also chose Luke Durrance as another one of our actors as he is a male and is confident in acting. The purpose of him being a male dressed in dark closing hiding a significant amount of his identity also make the audience believe that he will be the murderer which will all swap round half way during the opening sequence.

Director of Photography (Cameraman) - We chose Josh Lester to be our camera man as he is more knowledged then the rest of us about cameras and this technology. He also knew the area we was film in well so he knew where to go to archieve the best high angles and to get the best lighting. Josh used the camera to create different camera angles to make our thriller as good as possible.

Music Producers - We decided to chose Luke Durrance as our music producer as he is knowleged in music as he plays the drums so he knows more about music than the rest of us.

Screenplay Writer - We chose Harry Hyett to be our screen play writer as his screen play was the best and sounded the most frightening. This means our thriller will build as much tension as possible to make it the most frighening for our audience.

MES Co-Ordinators - We decided to choose Me and Josh as our MES co-Ordinators as i am the only girl in the group so was more knowled about makeup, costume and hairstyles. We also picked Josh to co-ordinate the other aspects such as Set design, Lighting,Space and acting. As he is knowledged about this and would make it the better if he was incharge of this.

Editors - We decided to choose all of us (Me, Harry Hyett, Luke Durrance and Losh Lester) to edit our thriller clip as we all took part in different ways so we should all have an input into making the final product. This means that we all will have our thriller clip how we would like it.
