Roles: who is what?

On the day of our shoot we are expected to take on the individual roles that make film making possible. These consist of; 

Director= the one responsible for organizing the actions of the crew and instructing the actors on set. 

Camera operator= person operating the camera- incharge of most camera movement, knows all about the camera and how it works. 

Editor= in post production once all footage is shot, the editor puts together each scene or shot in the sequence and creates the overall spectacle. 

Producer= the producer is what we, as a group, will do together. Seeing all aspects of the shoot

Art of photography= they are incharge of the props, set, location, costume, makeup etc. Again, as a group we will be covering all these things. 

To decide our roles within the process of filming we had a short discussion on who would suit each role given our strengths and weaknesses. We decided that:

SIENNA = DIRECTOR

SASKIA = CAMERA OPERATOR

DANNY = EDITOR 

However, on the shoot day we may end up helping each other out with each role.

This media production is a something we as a group collarbate on and it requires a division of labour in order to work as a team. Our specialised skills in each role are necessary to getting the right shot, correct genre conventions, and desired tone of our opening sequence. 

I was given the role of camera operator because I'm a quick learner and feel confident in using the equipment as well as carefully and responsibly.I have an overall understanding of the vision my group hopes to bring to live and I think I know how to capture this on camera. I also drew up the storyboard for our group after gathering the pictures from Danny and Sienna so I know the order of shots (which will likely change) well.

To prepare for the shoot, i will need to revisit the camera workshop we did and all the notes I collected from it. This is so i'm familiar with the rules and regulations and don't forget where everything is! I will also need to become familiar with our shot list and storyboard so I know which shot is next, that should help us timing wise as well. 

This role is important because I have to look after the camera and get the correct shots wanted by my group. There is some pressure if it doesn't come across the way we want it to look
on camera but I think i have a good enough eye and instrict to improvise incase.
