Production roles

Camera operator: a photographer who operates a movie camera.

I will be taking the full role of camera operator. I have chosen a variety of expressive and appropriate camera shots when filming the other actors. The camera shots are vital when making a thriller, as it's what brings it together to build a story.

Actors: An actor or actress is a person who acts in a dramatic production and who works in film, television, theatre, or radio in that capacity.

Within our thriller we include 3 characters; victim, victims mother and villain. Each role will be played by three members in our group, with one played by a friend. Ruby deGallery will be playing victims mother, Martha Corton will be playing victim, and Sam pearl will be playing the villain.

Sound technicians: Ensure that the best sound possible is available in a variety of venues for performances. They prepare, operate and maintain technical equipment to amplify, enhance, mix or reproduce sound.

Editors: are part of the creative post-production process of film making. The film editor works with the raw footage, selecting shots and combining them into sequences to create a finished motion picture.

All members of my team will be participating when it comes to the editing and taking turns in being the sound technician. This will be a group input portraying how well we work as a team in putting our thriller together.

Film director: A film director is a person who directs the actors and film crew in film making. They control a film's artistic and dramatic aspects, while guiding the technical crew and actors.

I feel that no one should specifically take on the whole role of being film director, as input from the team is what has made it come together. We all have sections within the thriller that we specialise in, to portray certain ideas.

Location manager: The location manager is responsible for the finding and securing locations to be used and coordinating the logistics involved for the production to successfully complete its necessary work.

I will taking on the role as location manager, due to my choice of location. I will be making sure that it is relative and connects to our plot well, this will help us portray certain emotions so that the audience have a full understanding of the thriller.

Storyboard organisers: Storyboard organiser is a profession specialised in creating storyboards for advertising agencies and film productions.

Myself and Ruby are in charge of being the storyboard organiser, with me helping to develop ideas along the way. We will be making sure that the thriller flows with the correct camera shots in place. This will be beneficial when trying to build suspence and portraying certain emotions to draw in the audience.

Actors:

• Villain- Sam
• Victim- Martha
• Parent of victim- Ruby

All the actors including Martha, Ruby and Sam play vital parts in order to bring the thriller together itself. Making sure that the audience have a full understanding of what is trying to be conveyed, and sympathising when the victim is taken. My role is minimal so that I can assist with camera operating, Martha volunteering to play victim and Sam was chosen to play the role of the villain as he was the only male, therefore able to show dominance; a typical stereotype.
