Job Role within the Group

Me: Director

My role in the group within the group id director. This is on of the most fundamental job to the videos success. I have the responsibility to overlook ever stage of the process across, pre-production, production and post-production. I need to be organized with in my role and ensuring  every thing that happens is well throughout and planned. I will also need to make sure I am communicating with the rest of the group  as it is essential, as we need to be sure we all know what exactly is happening with regards to filming and other practical activities we need to do to accomplished our final music video. My main duties include casting, shot composition, shot selection and editing. I will also need to be making sure that the performance is of a high standard.

Jason: Costumes & Blog Management

Jason has decided to take the role of costume and blog management. The Costume role is responsible for the design, fitting, hire, purchase, manufacture, continuity and care of all costume items on the production.The Costume Department is also responsible for jewelery, footwear and sometimes wig-work. Costume is integral in defining the overall 'look' of the film. It provides the audience with information about the period, culture and society the Actors inhabit and, on a more subtle level, the underlying themes of the film itself. Due to the fact that Jason's Blog was quite good last year then we decided that he should overview the blogging that happens within the group and making sure that all the blog posts are up to standard and are saying the right things. To clarify though we will not be copying each others posts, this job role means that I will only make sure that we are writing the correct things on our blogs and that all of them are up to date and merely offering suggestions as to how we can improve our blogs.

Luke: Locations Manager

Luke decided he wanted to take the role or Locations Lanager. Location Managers must combine the creative ability to visualise a Director's ideas with excellent organisational skills.  Luke should also be well organised and good communicators. We all decided that we would go to Woolwich Polytechnic and one of the drama rooms, so it will be his job to take location shots of the places that we are going to film or places that we consider so that we can finalise a decision on where we will shooting our final video.

Aaron: Director of Photography

Aaron decided to take the role within the group of DoP or Cinematographer. The role of the Director of Photography or Cinematographer is to provide a film with its unique visual identity, or look. Lighting is one of the fundamental elements in filmmaking; the way in which light falls on an actor's face, reveals an interior space, or illuminates a landscape, can create mood, drama and excitement for the audience. The ability of cinema to entertain and emotionally move an audience is the result of a highly collaborative process which encompasses performance, editing and music. Aaron's role within the group is cinematography and this may mean that he has to work out the shots that we are going to use in the music video, he will also have to work closely with Luke Hewitt when we are choosing locations as we will have to consider the camera shots and how the location will look on camera and whether it is practical.
