Research into filming roles

Before our shoot day we assigned each member of our crew a specific role that would be a guide for our shoot day and also for our post production work we decided that Maddie would take the wall of the director Bashy would take the world of the camera up and I would take the role of the editor. However these worlds weren't strictly set in stone they were just there as a guideline to make the shoot day less complicated and more structured even though people were assigned roles everyone had a go at everything and we worked as a team to make a ask me this possible.


A director's role and set:


Our directors role is to give direction to not only the crew but also the actors they have the final say on what happens on the shoot and what shots will be taken However they don't just strictly tell everyone what to do everyone communicates with the director I'm worked together to create a positive environment. The director has overall in charge of the shoot and they are there to call action and cut When they feel the shot should start and end. they are the ones who are mainly in control.

A cameraman role on set:


A cameraman's roll is to be in charge of the camera they're the ones who operationalised the camera press record and press stop they work closely with the director to help compose shots and give guidance on what looks good and what doesn't. They are also the ones that will set up the camera equipment for example the tripod get the camera levelled and they will be in constant communication with the director to get the best out of the shoot.

The editor's role:


The editors don't always stay on set sometimes they may be there to have an idea of what the film its intentions are and to give an idea of how they want to edit the film but they are mainly involved in the post production they are the ones who review all the footage and decide what goes into the film. they are the ones that cut and stick all the frames together and are the ones who pull the film into one.

the reason that I have been chosen undecided to be editor is that I really enjoyed doing the editing for our test shoot and for our dialogue workshop I really liked using the software and enjoyed spending my time working on the finished product and making it look smooth and well put together. For the shoot I closely observed each shot and asked for there to be a delay before action and cut was called to allow me some breathing room when it came to editing. My role as an editor is really important as I am the one who well make sure all are filming and shots Are well formed and put together in a way that is understanded by the audience. The way that I put the sequence together will determine how it will be seen and it's really important that it runs really smoothly and it's clear to the audience what is going on within the opening sequence this all comes down to the way that I edit the final piece. On our shoot day we needed to make sure that we had enough footage an enough option for us to choose form in our final edit we did this by making sure we had multiple shots and angles for each section of the opening sequence As it would be really bad if we turned up in the edit and we had less footage than we needed and it's always better to have more than less. In terms of conveying our genre in the edit we will add a soundtrack over the top to create tension and the thriller feel we are yet to decide what music we will put over the top however we know we want it to build suspense and build up to the final scene. and also in terms of editing we want to have the end shot done in more action so this may means having short duration shots to keep the seen fast pace and keep the audience engaged. For our audience we want them to feel suspense and tension we want it to build up to the final moment where the killer and the detective meet we want to make the audience feel on edge an uneasy we want to convey this feeling through our sound and music.
