5. Mia roles
Assistant Producer & Actress
As an assistant producer I will not fulfill all of these roles but I will give
my ideas when needed and support the producer. I will also be helping
to edit the scripts and create the final drafts of the screen play,
whenever the producer will need me to assist them also I will be there.
An actress/ actor is someone who plays a character in film, television,
radio, or theatre productions. When most people think of actors they
think of Hollywood actors who perform in blockbuster films, and this is
often the ultimate aspiration of anyone dreaming of a career in acting.
As one of the actresses I will be playing one of the key parts in the
production giving my time and devotion to my given role.
6. Locations
• Due to the general plot, we
are thinking of setting it in an
office where we are working
– a possible idea for that is
using one of the offices in
the college, possibly asking
the enrichment team or our
teachers.
• We will also set it in a bar
with high contrast and
chiaroscuro lighting. The
chiaroscuro lighting adds
drama and suspense.
7. Pre-production we have completed
• So far, the only pieces of pre-production we have
completed are the group contracts and individual
action plans. We also have the minutes of meeting
documents where we have discussed the progress
being made in the group. We will go on to document
the risk assessments, the location recce, budget, and
other documents, which Jamie Cairney will produce, as
the assistant producer. We also have to write the script
and we will soon go and choose locations to work in,
picking the most suitable for our film.

9. James roleDirector
• Being the driving creative force in a film's production - visualising and defining the style and structure of the film, then bringing it to life
• Carrying out duties such as casting, script editing, shot composition, shot selection and editing
• Acting as the crucial link between the production, technical and creative teams
• Directors are responsible for creatively translating the film's written script into actual images and sounds on the screen. They are ultimately
responsible for a film's artistic and commercial success or failure.
Directors may write the film's script or commission it to be written, or they may be hired after an early draft of the script is complete. They must
then develop a vision for the finished film and work out how to achieve it.
• During pre-production, Directors make crucial decisions, such as selecting the right cast, crew and locations for the film. They then direct
rehearsals and the performances of the actors once the film is in production.
They also manage the technical aspects of filming including the camera, sound, lighting, design and special effects departments.
During post production, Directors work closely with Editors through the many technical processes of editing, to reach the final cut or version of
the film.
At all stages, Directors are responsible for motivating the team to produce the best possible results. Directors must also always be aware of the
constraints of the film's budget and schedule and manage the expectations of the film's financiers.
Assistant editor
• Running and maintaining editing systems
• Taking responsibility for the smooth running of the cutting room on feature films
• Supporting the whole of the post production process on feature films and working closely with film labs, and with the cameraand sound
departments
• Understand the requirements of the relevant health and safety laws and procedures
Assistant Editors take charge of the day-to-day running edit suite, leaving the Editor free to concentrate on the work of editing the film.
• The first task is to communicate with other relevant departments (production, camera, sound, etc.) to understand and analysethe work flow,
and to pass this information on to the Editor.
• During the shoot, while the Editor starts to work on a rough assembly of selected rushes, Assistant Editors check the camerasheets when the
rushes arrive, noting any technical problems.
Assistant Editors often work in a different room to the Editor and, on low budget films, may be required to sync rushes earlyin the morning or
late at night when the editing machine is not being used by the Editor. Consequently, the traditional apprenticeship model for Assistant Editors
has changed, as less time is now spent watching and learning from the Editor. Assistant Editors must therefore be more proactive in monitoring
how the edit is progressing.
• Depending on the workload, and providing the Editor trusts the Assistant, whole segments of the assembly edit may be given over to Assistant
Editors, who can use this opportunity to demonstrate their flair and ability.
• When picture lock is achieved, one of the Assistant Editors' last tasks is to compile an Edit Decision List, which provides a record of all the edit
points.
