Job roles in film


In order to create a film there are many people with many different roles involved, each job comes together to create the film;
Actor: Actors interpret others' words in order to bring a script to life

Camera Operators: Camera Operators prepare and operate the camera and all its equipment, working with the Director and Director of Photography.

Casting Directors: Casting Directors organise the casting (selecting) of Actors for all roles in a film

Director: Directors are the driving creative force in a film's production - visualising and defining the style and structure of the film, then bringing it to life.

Director of Photography: Directors of Photography work with the Director, camera crew and lighting department to create the visual identity, or look, of a film

Editor: Film Editors work closely with the Director to craft the finished film.


As a group we have decided that we shall bring all our skills together to edit the trailer, this is best as we can all have a say in how the finished product will turn out like.

Producer: Producers are responsible for all aspects of a film's production, putting together a creative and talented cast and crew, and turning story ideas into profitable films.

Production Runner: Production Runners help out wherever they are needed on productions

Screenwriter: Screenwriters research and develop story ideas and write screenplays


Our roles within the production:


Sam - Director of Photography; This role is most suited  towards our teammate Sam. Although we will all have a turn with the camera Sam feels more suited towards this particular role.


Hannah - Director; The role of the Director will be taken upon by Hannah, she is best suited for this job as she has had experience acting and knows how to deal with the actors but she also has a good visualisation of how the outcome of the trailer will look like.


Myself - Producer; I personally feel that the producer fits me very well as I am a very organised person so I can be trusted to ensure everyone and everything is where it should be by the day of the shoot. I also participate in drama classes and therefore I have the vital contacts with other actors.
