Planning The Production



Camera Operator: A camera operator or cameraman is a professional operator of a film or video camera. In film making, the leading camera operator is usually called a cinematographer, while a camera operator in a video production may be known as a television camera operator, video camera operator, or videographer, depending on the context and technology involved, usually operating a professional video camera.The camera operator is responsible for physically operating the camera and maintaining composition and camera angles throughout a given scene or shot. In narrative film making, the camera operator will collaborate with the director, director of photography, actors and crew to make technical and creative decisions. In this setting, a camera operator is part of a film crew consisting of the director of photography and one or more camera assistants. In documentary film making and news, the camera is often called on to film unfolding, unscripted events. In 2006, there were approximately 27,000 television, video, and motion picture camera operators employed in the United States.

Participants: Arthur and Orcun are most experienced with cameras as well as having good knowledge about them. They were also the ones who chose the camera shots within the pre-production of the thriller.

The field draws on many artistic and vocational areas, including electronics, acoustics, psychoacoustics, and music. An audio technician is proficient with different types of recording media, such as analog tape, digital multitrack recorders and workstations, and computer knowledge. With the advent of the digital age, it is becoming more and more important for the audio technician to be versed in the understanding of software and hardware integration from synchronization to analog to digital transfers.

Editors: A film or video editor is responsible for assembling raw material into a finished product suitable for broadcasting. The material they work with may consist of raw camera footage, dialogue, sound effects, graphics and special effects. This is a key role in the post-production process and the editor's skill can determine the quality and delivery of the final product. The editor may be part of a team and they will usually work closely with the director to achieve the desired end result.The majority of film/video editors are employed on a freelance basis, working on short-term contracts for post-production studios, television companies and corporate employers. Editors may work on a variety of productions including feature films, television programmes, music videos, corporate training videos or advertisements

Participants: Sam, Harry, Arthur, Orcun

Film Director: Directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film under the overall control of the film producer. Together with the producers, directors develop a vision for a film. Once this vision is developed it is then the director’s job to carry out the vision and decide how the film should look. Directors are responsible for turning the script into a sequence of shots. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience.
Participants: Arthur is the most experienced in film making and directing so he is the director since he is most suited for the role.

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. They are also the face of the production to the community and responsible for addressing the issues that may arise due to the production's impact on the community
Participants: We are filming in Harry's house so it is his location we are filming and the second part of the film is recorded in Sam's garden which is his location, therefore they are both the ones organising the location, becoming the location managers.

Storyboard Organiser: This person will work out how long each camera shot will take and where the camera should be positioned based on the purpose of that camera shot.

Participants: Arthur and Orcun thought up the whole concept and story of the thriller so they will be the ones who will be coordinating the story correctly, since they are most clear of it and what they want the story to be filmed like.
