Filming Roles

During filming we will each take on different roles in order to make sure our project is completed in a proffessional manner.


Actors
They will need to make sure their acting seems realistic and not forced. They will be under the control of the director.
In our project, we had to use extra people from outside of our group to allow our plans to work. Harriets brother Ollie Sim is the only actor in scene 1, and in scene 2, there are 3 actors (Sam Brown, Ed Selvey and Sam Pudney).


The Director
Is the person who is charge of over seeing the filming of the production and will have control of making key decisions about the production such as location, filming angles etc. However they will take advice from other member son set in order to make sure the film gets a high quality finish.
In our project, we are all directors in one way or another, although arguably, Harriet is the strongest (maybe due to the bossiness?!?), although her being out of the frame and acting as camera woman may have helped.


Camera Man/Woman
This is the person in charge of operating the camera, they will make sure the camera is steady, placed at the correct angle, and that it is safe and that no equipment is on set or at risk of being broken. They will also be able to advise the direcot on what angles and shots would be best alterntives to those already being used.
In our project, Harriet was the camera woman for scene 1, as she also was for scene 2.


Prop & Costume Manager
This person is in charge of making sure the characters and set looks realistic and that whatever is needed is on set at the appropriate times.
In our project, Harriet managed and kept control of these, although individuals were set to be responsible for different props and costumes.
