Project Roles

As the brief required we were asked to assign roles for each individual of the group. I volunteered to be the Director/Producer. At first I did not know what this role required of me but I knew I had to be the overseer of the project. For my first role I discussed with the group which location we should base the shoot at. We all agreed that Grenoside woods would be the best due to it being convenient for everyone to get to and the large scale of the woods meant we wouldn’t be interrupted by the public. Also a member of the crew knew these woods well and scouted a suitable, safe location for us to film in.
My next role was to acquire an actor for the shoot as we all knew it would be un-professional to have one of us to star in the project.
I asked around to see if anyone would be available until I found someone mature and responsible to be the actor.

Once the location, plotline and actor were safely taken care of, I assigned who would need to bring what props on the day. I knew it would be un-fair for one person to be delegated with this job as some of the props were too big to carry, so we equally shared this job by agreeing on one person bringing the camera equipment and actor, another would bring the large mirror and sound equipment, whilst the other would bring the other essential props and paperwork.

The next job I had to do before the shoot was to fill out the risk assessment and develop on the call sheets for the day.
