 Filming Roles For Media Shoot

There are five essential jobs that need to be filled before our shoot to make sure our production works and everything falls into place and is being taken care of. Obviously two of us will need to have an extra task because we dont have 5 people but thats fine because we can have a clearer image with fewer people.

Director

A film director is great job if someone likes to direct the crew and actors. The directors role is to visulise what the shots and overall structure of the production will be like and directs the crew into creating this. I believe that in our group we will all be leading the direction as we all have a similar image in our head and this is a group task afterall. Although we are all directors I believe it would make sense if we worked on a rota and swapped roles on each scene we shoot so we all get individual understandings on how everything was put together.

Camera Man / Camera Women

  A cameraman / women's responsibility is for operating the camera and capturing everything that the director wants to be visulised. In other words the camera operator is the directors eyes when it comes to filming the event which is taking place. They will need to think about composition and also be ready to take orders from and cooperate with the director to make sure the final image is what the director was looking for.

I have a passion in photography and filming and this task will definatley be the most enjoyable for me as although I still have things to learn as I will be new to the cameras being used in the studio. I feel as if I can guide the others in my group if anything happens on the day and they need a helping hand.

The Art Director 

The art director is responsible for organsing the location, costume, props, make up and continuity to avoid any embarrasing errors that pop up and someone notices. Moving furniture into specific positions and making sure all the clips match will assure this. They will be making the decisions on the visual elements that will be used and making sure everything flows well. If the art director does their job well it makes the editing a far easier process.

   

I believe for our production we again should share this task and rotate as it would be nice to learn this. Although I am aware that Gabi has an interest in this task and will let her focus more on this job as I will stick to the camera.

Producer 

 

The producer as a role is Playing a role of producer is not for such a big scale in our music video production. I think in our case the job is really similar to the role of the director, therefore each of the group members could do the job. Everyone is well prepared when it comes to the flow of the shoot and what we are supposed to do. In my opinion we should switch the job so at different scene someone else is making sure that everything goes smooth, that there is a general concentration and 'peace' on the set and that everyone from the crew knows what to do and where to be

 The producer has an important role that focuses on the production of the whole movie. The producer is responsible for arranging everything from managing the budget, looking for crew, sorting out the equipment, making a general schedule for the shooting, working on the set designs and scripts.

Sound Playback

People responsible for light and sound are making sure that the lighting is right with the requirements, it is also taking care of the general appearance of the shot. Sound crew is responsible for the quality of the sound, in our case the sound is one of the most important aspects, since we rely on a good lip sync and the sound in general. 

I would like to be responsible for the lighting in the padded room while we are shooting the DJ, because we decided on strobe and colorful lights and I think it would be a good new experience since it also will add more artists and visual aspect to the video, which I am interested in.
