Within our media group we have assigned certain roles for each of us, although we have a main role, we will still have a chance to try all the roles, but we need one to be fully responsible for, one role which we all are incharge of together is the producer.
The role I have taken charge of for the project is the Director, this is quite a big role for me to take on which I feel quite confident with. This role consists of the creative vision of the filming process, also instructing other members of the crew, lighting, and make up. I will be telling the actors what they need to do for the camera.
Before shooting as the director I have to make sure that everyone on set and the actors know what they are doing to make this work, I also need to oversee the set and make sure the continuity is correct and the lighting is all working for the camera, in order to make our opening look more realistic when it comes to the editing process.
To take to the shoot, I need to take the shot list which we have made along with the storyboard and the shooting sheducal with the casting call, so that i can manage who we need at what time, what we need to shot and when and how to shoot the shot for the camera, and the storyboard to make sure that everything that we have filmed is there without looking back at the footage.
A challenge that I think i'll face when it comes to shooting will be keeping all the continuity in order, and making sure the set looks the same, and the makeup on the characters look realistic enough for the camera, I also think I may struggle with some of the stunts that i wish to try and pull off, which will make me quickly have to find a way to work around it.
Another role that i would like to take some charge on is the Editor. The editor is incharge off the post production and they will manage the camera footage, dialogue, sound effects, graphics and special effects to produce the final product this tends also to be a key role in post production process and your skills can determine the quality of the finished result.
This role is important to make sure that all the footage that has been recorded all flows together and syncs up to make it all look very continuous without for example a very abrupt cut from one shot to the next, it is also important to make sure all the sound is made clear and is able to hear the action that is happening on camera.
A challenge i think i would face with this role is if there is a shot missing which won't make the sequence flow, or if the continuity is off as i would need to find a way to make the scene make sense without confusing the audience and making the sequence look bad, this is why this roe is really important because they are responsible for what is put on the screen at the end of the day.
