Director: Kenny Akale

CREW AND ACTORS REQUIRED

There are a range of jobs through out the media industry. During this PowerPoint I am going to portray some of the job roles and the way they work in the media world and who is allocated that specific role. However, because we

have a small group of 3 personnel we have bee allocated 3 main roles each to fill in completing the pre- production

process these jobs are that of the:Director - Kenny

Producer - AshleyCamera operator - James

Production assistant - Ashley

JOBS

The job of the actor is to bring to life the words from the script, and to turn pre production stages into production

stages. They have to play their significant role in the suited manner following the script. Actors are important as they are used to pass artists(auture) dreams and stories on to

make them real. In my short film we only have two actors as that was all that was needed.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF AN ACTOR

Daniel = victim body in the sheets. Kenny =

the mysterious man These actors where

chosen because we are all of the same age group and same class, making it easier to work together. And they where chosen as they had experiences in acting.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTOR

The Director is responsible for the creative vision making visual come to life, they write and study the scripts and decide what is the best to interpret them. Directors must have a strong understanding of all areas of the production from the initial concept right through to the edit because they are the overall overseer. Directors are highly creative and multitalented as they have to incorporate there creativeness into the scripts to bring it to life and make it portray a story that will attract audiences. However they are also there to talk spirit in to all production workers (motivate them and help them with difficulties that a member of production must face. As I Kenny Akale, I’ am the director I was chosen because I am able to talk to people and make them express themselves and I like to take charge and lead like the saying ‘be an eagle not a follower’ quoted by Mrs. Akale.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PRODUCTION MANAGER

Production Manager The Production Manager is an extremely important role, as they are responsible for organising all aspects of the production such as the schedule and budgeting. They make sure that the production meets deadline, stays within the target audience, stays within budget and that the day to day running of the production is as efficient as possible.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF A PRODUCER

Producer The Producer will work on the production for the entire process from the initial concept right through to marketing and distribution. They are important to the success of the final piece, as they oversee every aspect of production. They hire key members of the production team, approve locations, schedules, budgets, and scripts (script lining with the director). They have to also motivate actors within the team.

RESPONSIBILITY OF A EDITOR

Film Editors assemble footage of collected for the films ranging from different camera shots to create more affect an a sense of realism. They manipulate plot, sound, and graphics e.g. Day for Night to refine the overall story into a continuous and enjoyable whole for the soul purpose of making sense. In this case we are all going to be editors as we are all going to separately edit the 1minute short film to show that we understand how to edit also along side of that we will be doing a EDL (edit decisions list) and arranging good shots and bad shots by there location into bins so work is organised allow easy access to shots.

EQUIPMENT

The cannon 1100d- was used because of its high quality and that it is easy to use meaning I can focus on the filming side rather than hoe to operate it.

The tripod is necessary because the short film is supposed to be ‘static’ meaning you cannot move the camera. Shot must be still and it helps with the rule of 3rd rule.

This light was used because I needed to film in the dark so in some scenes so I will need to make subjects easily visible so they can be picked up on camera.

EQUIPMENT

The SD card is very important as this is where I will store all my captured footage from the cannon camera. without this I would not be able to capture footage.

Final cut pro is used to edit my short film by putting all shots together in order for the film to make sense and come to life. Final cut allows me to edit and add certain affects to make my short film more realistic and enjoyable.

PROPS

The purpose of the bedsheet in my short film is so the victim can be hidden under Neath them to make it look realistic and to show convention of ‘death’ as you will be able to know if someone is dead if they are covered in a sheet with blood on it. The mystery man puts a body in the sheets and digs up the body (in my short film).

PROPS

The purpose of the shovel in my short film is for the name as the short film is called shovel and because the film is practically based around the shovel it was also used to dig a hole for the dead body to create a realistic scene.

The plastic knife represents how the body in the bed sheets died. We used a plastic knife as we couldn’t use a real one as we were in public and we didn’t want to get permission from a police officer to watch over us so we used the next best thing.

PROPS

After finishing the actual fake blood we turned two our second option which was even better. We used ketchup in our short film to represent blood as it looked realistic when spread and dry and best of all its accessible and affordable.

The mysterious man will be wearing an all black outfit (black - is associated with power, elegance, formality, death,

evil, and mystery. Black is a mysterious colour associated with fear and the unknown (black holes). It usually has a negative connotation). This is because we want him to be kind of anonymous. but in the case of my short film black

indicates mystery and death but we also gave the mysterious man a white top top show he has a bit of

innocents in his heart (white - is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the colour of perfection. White means safety, purity, and cleanliness. As opposed to black, white usually has a positive connotation). In the case of my short film the top portrays a shed of innocence as he goes to the church for

forgiveness.
