Job Roles

Within our production we have offered different job roles suited to a specific person who has the skills and the work ethic necessary to complete the tasks allocated. The job roles will advocate in understanding the certain areas that require more expertise and it’s was evident that between us four individuals we all have different strengths and weakness and also a varied ability.

Chloe Daniels, 16

• Storyboard
• Typography/Poll Everywhere
• Actress

The reason why Chloe was selected to take on these tasks was because she was seen as more creative and considerate in terms of how effective the audience would feel about the typography.  Due to the story board involving drawing, it was immediately thought to have Chloe take on the responsibility of this part, as Chloe had done GCSE art and would be able to make the camera shots clear by her use of drawing skills.  When Chloe volunteered to be an actress in was unexpected however she had been the one that caught our attention due to her realistic acting and maturity.

Grace Pengelly, 17

• Storyboard
• Soundtrack
• Timeline
• Camerawoman

Grace was chosen for these roles due to her determined and persistent traits. However, it was her choice to complete the soundtrack analysis, as she is very fond of soundtracks in many films. It was clear to the rest of the group that Grace wanted to do this section as she is known to have a great interest in the sound in thrillers, for example se7en. Therefore as a group we believe that grace would be suitable to complete this task because she was deemed as more enthusiastic and eager. Grace had also done half of the storyboard, this was due to the fact that she enjoys the drawing aspect of it and therefore we believe that grace is suitable to complete the storyboard. She was also selected to be the camerawoman because she has a steady hand and can take clear/distinctive shots that would benefit the audience.

Kirsten Johnson, 16

• Shot list
• Actor auditions
• Production schedule
• Director

Kirsten was selected for these roles because she was considered as organised and efficient. The shot list involved specifying what occur in the shots, what shot type it is, props and characters etc. Kirsten is best suited to this task as she can clearly express the narrative and go into certain detail regarding the shots. Owed to the fact that she had completed her 2 year of GSCSE drama, it was then put forward that Kirsten should be allocated this role because she can identify the acting skills required to portray these two characters. The production schedule was given to her because she is believed to be well thought-out and can manage her time very well. The reason for Kirsten being the director is because she can offer many great and unique ideas to the group and can provide good advice that is crucial to create a successful production.

Natasha Shadat, 16

• Shot list
• Location scouting
• Production ident
• Actress
   

I was accessible the job of doing the shot list because I am considered as organised and prepared to describe t=each and every shot featuring in our production. The location is going to be my house, so the rest of the group thought it was essential for me to complete this task. This was fairly simple because I could analyse the house in a more efficient way because I live there and could make specific decisions on where and why to film in these areas of my house.  I was very eager and enthusiastic when it came to wanting to create the production ident because I did GCSE media which helped me to gain Photoshop proficiency. I would say that I am somewhat creative and original, so therefore this characteristic helped in creating the ident. Also I wanted to develop my Photoshop skills and become more aware of it because I haven’t done it in a while.
