gathering ideas, placing them on paper hiring the correct staff to help with their main filming ideas. It then moves to the production stage acting
out the ideas that have been decided using the crew the hired to help make the production look realistic and interesting for an audience. And the
moves into a post production stage which is the sending out of the films to different cinemas about what DVD its going to appear on. This means
there is a lot of roles to be taken on due to this large scale of work to produce this film.
This article will explain a few job roles in each of the stages presented above explaining their roles and contributions to the production.

3. Management:
This is one of the most important roles in the crew why? Because without someone
keeping it organized then most of the pre and production stage will be all over the place.
People will get confused and the production will be shambles! The role that is mostly
under main management role is the producer.
There role and why? :
This persons role (the producer) it to mange everything that happens in and outside of the
production to keep everybody organized and to keep things under control. You can tell this
by the things they do to help. The main manger on set would be the producer, helping the
director, looking over the budget for the cast and the location and props making sure

Editors normally work by themselves whilst editing but

due to the money they have spent and the time it took
to film in a certain angle

departments of a production like fanatical

6. Organization:
As seen above there are loads of different roles that fit
under this department all sharing a different past of
organization for the production. But the main role that
takes the organization from every different role and looks
over them making sure that they are all organized is the
producer.
The duties of the producer is to make sure that everything is
correct off set and on set helping the director with his ideas

the main camera to create the perfect shot and the perfect angle for that scene he connects with the
actors to guide them into the perfect position to create blocking in the film which sets mood and
atmosphere for the viewers watching. Seamus first started off taking still photos before going off to
university. He then got accepted into a film school, due to his studies of film he stared to gather a
liking of the film and camera roles started to create short films because of his newly found hobby of

Because of his hobby for making and creating short films and documentaries for example skins. He

As well as skins he has done filmed other films that have become quite famous within the film
industry for example the Atlantic directed by Sam Taylor-Wood which was nominated in 1998 for the

What I have learnt from Seamus McGavery is that he stated off with it only being a hobby but because of
his hard work for many years he started to get noticed which expanded his work. This got him to film
longer films with famous people. The main department he would work in is the main production stage by

and creates different story lines and comes up with different characters to use to explain the
different actions and dramas taking place. Louise before starting writing before EastEnders
she was a novelist, she always had a passion for writing stories and coming up with different
scenes and dramer’s, because of her love of fiction writing, using her skill and passion to
create a TV soap was right for her and how she is used and how she enjoys working. Because

the media which raised her views to 6 million. In 2002 Louise became producer of the series,
4 months later she was promoted to executive producer writing In many famous characters
with her time there.
What I have learnt from my research of Louise that in soaps there is always more the one
writer, many writers come along coming up and including some of there own characters
stories events and dramas .
Her department she would be working in is pre production stage this is because she is a writer
coming up with ideas that are going to be made into a feature film or TV program. She is the
first creator of the film which is needed in the very first stages of a film.

9. This is a casting director from a feature film she's the man.
Casting directors are mostly seen in the pre production stage
of a production. This is because their main responsibility is to
audition and pick different actors that they think would make
a good character to play the roles that have been created.
They do this by looking at past records and past career jobs
they have taken up. Then ten see if the actor is good enough
or will suit the role that they are being picked to play. They do
this by looking at the actors appearance, personality, body,
voice and personality. Because they have pick the best actors
to play the roles they get to meet and talk to very famous and
skilled actors that are well known by the public and the
media. They also get to see new skill that is being developed
by new and young actors that have a future of being
successful actors. Randi was asked to join AMPAS in 2006, she
then started casting for famous feature films like iron man and
avengers assemble. Looking and researching this casting
director and others show that most if not all work in pairs and
rare to see a casting director on his/her own.
The department she will be working in is pre production due
to her finding the cast to put into the film. Without cast then
there will be no one to act out the story write by the writer.
