Roles and Responsibilities

A group meeting was held to explain what each group member's role was when we begin to film and edit our trailer. It is important that we are all aware of what is expected of all us before we film as this will speed up the process. When producing the opening to our thriller, a mistake we found that was we were unsure of some of our tasks, to improve we all are aware at this early stage of what we must do.

Sinthuja is responsible for Filming and Editing. Sinthuja has previous experience at filming, so we felt it was best that she took the main task of filming this project. Sinthuja also has previous knowledge on editing, we felt this will enable us to gain the best outcome as editing can be tricky. I will also aid her with decisions when the editing process begins.

Tamika is responsible for Filming and Acting. Tamika also has previous experience in filming, so she will aid Sinthuja with this process. As Tamika will also have a role within the trailer, she is unable to film throughout so she will film small pieces. She must also bring the camera equipment to each day of filming. Tamika is also in charge of choosing the appropriate soundtrack for our soap opera trailer. We will listen to the chosen soundtrack before it gets uploaded onto the trailer.

Maria (myself) - Photography, Youtube Annotations and Acting. I have previous experience in all these fields so I felt they were the best roles for me. I will be taking pictures during the production process for example filming and editing, to use as evidence. I must ensure I bring a digital camera to each day of filming and production. Once our trailer is finished I will ensure it is my role to put the trailer onto Youtube and put annotations explaining each scene and what shots and movements were used. As I acted in the opening of my Thriller, I feel it was a good role for myself as I am aware of camera shots and were to place myself within the frame. I must also ensure that I bring the storyboards and scripts to each day of filming.


Finally we discussed the production schedule for our filming. Myself and Sinthuja will be completing the Shooting Schedule for the Home, Lopen Road, Train and Fight scenes. Tamika will be producing the production schedule.We decided that we will carry out our filming in two days and all group members will be allocated their roles.
