the importanyce of crew role in the media sector.

1. Director: Kenny Akale
CREW AND ACTORS REQUIRED

2. There are a range of jobs through out the media industry. During this
PowerPoint I am going to portray some of the job roles and the way they
work in the media world and who is allocated that specific role. However,
because we have a small group of 3 personnel we have bee allocated 3 main
roles each to fill in completing the pre- production process these jobs are that
of the:
Director - Kenny
Producer - Ashley
Camera operator - James
Production assistant - Ashley
JOBS

3. The job of the actor is to bring to life the words from the script, and to turn
pre production stages into production stages. They have to play their
significant role in the suited manner following the script. Actors are important
as they are used to pass artists(auture) dreams and stories on to make them
real. In my short film we only have two actors as that was all that was needed.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF AN ACTOR
Daniel = victim
body in the
sheets.
Kenny = the
mysterious man
These actors where chosen
because we are all of the same
age group and same class,
making it easier to work
together. And they where
chosen as they had experiences
in acting.

4. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE
DIRECTOR
The Director is responsible for the creative vision making visual come to
life, they write and study the scripts and decide what is the best to interpret
them. Directors must have a strong understanding of all areas of the
production from the initial concept right through to the edit because they
are the overall overseer. Directors are highly creative and multitalented as
they have to incorporate there creativeness into the scripts to bring it to life
and make it portray a story that will attract audiences. However they are also
there to talk spirit in to all production workers (motivate them and help
them with difficulties that a member of production must face. As I Kenny
Akale, I’ am the director I was chosen because I am able to talk to people
and make them express themselves and I like to take charge and lead like
the saying ‘be an eagle not a follower’ quoted by Mrs. Akale.

5. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE
PRODUCTION MANAGER
Production Manager
The Production Manager is an extremely important role, as
they are responsible for organising all aspects of the
production such as the schedule and budgeting. They make
sure that the production meets deadline, stays within the target
audience, stays within budget and that the day to day running
of the production is as efficient as possible.

6. RESPONSIBILITIES OF A
PRODUCER
Producer
The Producer will work on the production for the entire
process from the initial concept right through to marketing and
distribution. They are important to the success of the final
piece, as they oversee every aspect of production. They hire key
members of the production team, approve locations, schedules,
budgets, and scripts (script lining with the director). They have
to also motivate actors within the team.

7. RESPONSIBILITY OF A EDITOR
Film Editors assemble footage of collected for the films
ranging from different camera shots to create more affect an a
sense of realism. They manipulate plot, sound, and graphics
e.g. Day for Night to refine the overall story into a continuous
and enjoyable whole for the soul purpose of making sense. In
this case we are all going to be editors as we are all going to
separately edit the 1minute short film to show that we
understand how to edit also along side of that we will be
doing a EDL (edit decisions list) and arranging good shots
and bad shots by there location into bins so work is organised
allow easy access to shots. Editors:
Kenny
Ashley
James

8. EQUIPMENT
The cannon 1100d- was
used because of its high
quality and that it is easy to
use meaning I can focus on
the filming side rather than
hoe to operate it.
The tripod is necessary
because the short film is
supposed to be ‘static’
meaning you cannot move
the camera. Shot must be
still and it helps with the
rule of 3rd rule.
This light was used
because I needed to film
in the dark so in some
scenes so I will need to
make subjects easily
visible so they can be
picked up on camera.

9. EQUIPMENT
The SD card is very
important as this is where I
will store all my captured
footage from the cannon
camera. without this I would
not be able to capture
footage.
Final cut pro is used to
edit my short film by
putting all shots
together in order for the
film to make sense and
come to life. Final cut
allows me to edit and
add certain affects to
make my short film
more realistic and
enjoyable.

10. PROPS
The purpose of the bedsheet in
my short film is so the victim can
be hidden under Neath them to
make it look realistic and to show
convention of ‘death’ as you will
be able to know if someone is
dead if they are covered in a sheet
with blood on it. The mystery
man puts a body in the sheets and
digs up the body (in my short
film).

11. PROPS
The purpose of the shovel in my
short film is for the name as the
short film is called shovel and
because the film is practically
based around the shovel it was
also used to dig a hole for the
dead body to create a realistic
scene.
The plastic knife represents how the body
in the bed sheets died. We used a plastic
knife as we couldn’t use a real one as we
were in public and we didn’t want to get
permission from a police officer to watch
over us so we used the next best thing.

12. PROPS
After finishing the actual fake blood
we turned two our second option
which was even better. We used
ketchup in our short film to
represent blood as it looked realistic
when spread and dry and best of all
its accessible and affordable.

13. The mysterious man will be wearing an all black outfit (black - is associated
with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery. Black is a mysterious
colour associated with fear and the unknown (black holes). It usually has a
negative connotation). This is because we want him to be kind of anonymous.
but in the case of my short film black indicates mystery and death but we also
gave the mysterious man a white top top show he has a bit of innocents in his
heart (white - is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and
virginity. It is considered to be the colour of perfection. White means safety,
purity, and cleanliness. As opposed to black, white usually has a positive
connotation). In the case of my short film the top portrays a shed of
innocence as he goes to the church for forgiveness.
