Camera Operator (Studio/Outside
Broadcast) - TV
Studio/OB Camera Operators ensure that cameras and associated
equipment are rigged for the required set-up. Camera Operators must be
able to multi-task when they are on the job, and to watch, listen and think
on their feet while carrying out complex technical tasks. They may have to
supervise Assistants to move the camera, and carry out simple camera faultfinding. Camera Operators may work closely with performers, giving them
constructive advice in order to perform the required picture composition.On
multi-camera shoots, whether they are OB productions or studio-based
programmes, Operators receive instructions from the gallery about where to
position the camera, and how to frame shots and move the camera during
the recording. These instructions may be very precise or merely indicative of
the types of shot required, depending on the production and the Director.
Camera Operators must be able to translate these instructions into carefully
framed and composed shots.
Script Supervisor
Script Supervisors work as part of the Camera Department on Feature Films and
Television Dramas. They ensure that, despite the fact that films are shot entirely out
of script sequence, they eventually make continuous verbal and visual sense. This
entails checking on and keeping detailed records of dialogue, action, costumes, props
and set design, so that when different takes and scenes are finally edited
together, the fictional world of the film is not disrupted by continuity errors which
may distract the audience. Script Supervisors closely observe every shot filmed, and
take extremely precise and detailed notes, in order to provide an authoritative
reference point should any doubt arise about how a previous take or scene was
filmed. Script Supervisors' overall responsibility is to monitor whether it is possible for
each shot scene to be edited into a verbally and visually coherent sequence. During
pre–production they check the script for any errors and/or inconsistencies, prepare
estimated running times, and break down the script according to production
requirements. They develop story synopses and character breakdowns, and check the
shooting schedule to ensure that all the required scenes are shot and adequately
covered from all required angles, distances, etc. They attend recces and pre–
production meetings to feedback any identified issues, and during rehearsals they
record detailed timings which inform the shooting schedule. They work closely with
Directors to anticipate and solve any potential problems.
Make-Up and Hair Artist - Film & TV
Make-up and Hair Artists work on feature films and in television on
commercials, pop promos, corporate productions, light entertainment
programmes, documentary dramas, etc. They are also employed on TV
dramas, and feature films working to Make-up and Hair Designers. Increased
multi-skilling in the UK film and television industries has meant that
personnel are required to be proficient in both Make-up and Hair, and the
departments are often merged. Make-up and Hair Artists are briefed by
Make-up and Hair Designers, who provide them with detailed notes,
character and scene breakdowns, and if necessary reference pictures about
the characters they must create. Occasionally they may only receive a rough
brief, and must produce their own script breakdown, and research and
create their own design notes. They work on principal and supporting Actors,
and depending on the schedule, usually look after several Actors throughout
the shoot. They are responsible for maintaining the continuity of their
Artists' "look". They must also carry out full risk assessments, and develop
procedures to control risks.
