Research - Desired Job Roles



Today we began by looking into job roles as they're essential to progressing onto the planning and eventual production stage smoothly. We agreed that it'd be good for us all to go away and look into the roles we most wanted to take. Here are mine:

Director

As i understand it right now our showreel may require some filming so i would like to be a director for these parts. A directors job is exactly what it says on the tin: they pick and choose what will be happening in the scene they are trying to create, how it will be filmed, timing, everything.

Producer

I would also like to be the producer for the scene i am directing. Producers can perform a number of roles such as managing fund-raising, budgeting and hiring, but in my example i am looking at the role of producer in a purely production sense.


These are the two roles i managed to look into in the time given, after this we regrouped and decided as a team who would be doing what. I was very happy with my positions:

Researcher 
     Everyone is a researcher because we will all be looking into how showreels are made, seeing examples, learning from them and pooling our impressions to generate ideas.

Lead Camera Operator
     I have discussed the idea of including filmed segments for our showreel and it was agreed that I, working with Wayne, could create these filmed segments

Cinematographer
     This basically relates back to the previous job role, but differs in that the title refers to the one who chooses the best shot to use when filming.

Director
     Together with Dean, i will be deciding how our showreel will go, choosing the sequence of everything within, and the overall theme, we felt it was best to have more than one person working in this role so all idea's could be scrutinised before being given the go ahead.

Below you can see the entire finalised job roles for our group:
