As there are just two of us working on this project, we have to ensure all the tasks are completed, which in everyday life would be carried out by specialist crew members.
We researched each job and its roles.
Director
The director is in charge of ensuring the creativity aspects of the film are employed , including controlling the flow and content of the film's plot, directing the actors/actresses in their performances, managing the lighting, positioning of cameras, timings, what goes into the soundtrack overall and selecting the locations in which to shoot the film, as well as organising the cast and crew to make it to the shoot. In many film crews, the director is also the producer (usually when the director is more experienced), because many of the roles and responsibilities are linked. However, the director has ultimate control.
Producer
The producer coordinates, supervises and controls issues, like finance (raising funds), hiring the key personnel. They are also involved in arranging the distribution. Even though they have these specific roles, they are responsible for seeing through every element of production, from planning and developing to completing a film.
Cinematographer
They are usually related to the director of photography's roles and responsibilities.
Casting Director
This member of the crew decides which actors/actresses will be involved in the production. They're also the main person behind the auditions.
Director of Photography
This person is responsible for the camera and lighting crew of the film. They make decisions on lighting and framing of scenes in conjunction with the film's director. Typically, the director tells the director of photography on how they want a shot to appear, and the the director of photography chooses the correct aperture, filter, and lighting to achieve this, in order to fit the director's requirements.
Film Editor
The film editor assembles the various shots into an articulate and consistent film, with the aid of the director. There are usually many several assistant editors.
Camera Operator
This member of the crew is directed by the cinematographer, director of photographer or director to use the camera in certain ways to capture the scenes of a film.
Costume Designer
The costumer designer clothes the actors/actresses and designs the costumes that are worn on by everyone appearing on screen. This designing involves planning, organising and constructing (involving fabrics, sizes, colours and designs). They work closely with the director to establish and understand the interpretations that the characters will portray in their costumes. There are usually one or two assistant costume designers as well.
Makeup & Hair
Make-up artists work with make-up, hair and special effects to create all the characters looks. They manipulate anyone's appearance who is appearing on screen to change how they look to suit how the director wants it to look, whether it is making them appear older, younger, scarier or larger. There are also body makeup artists who concentrate on styling the body rather than the head. The hair stylist is in charge of maintaining and the hair of anyone appearing on screen.
Sound Production
The sound designer, is also known as the supervising sound editor, is responsible for the post-production sound of a movie. Sometimes this may involve great creative license working independently, and other times they may simply accompany the director and producer into ensuring the sound is perfect for the film.
Composer
The composer is responsible for writing the orchestral score for the film.
