Within films production you need  allocated specific roles for each person as this makes the production of the film more organised and efficient with time. The main roles neccessary in producing a film are producers, directors, actors, directors of photography, music producers, screenplay writers, mise-en-directors and editors.

In our group Devon is going to be the producer as she was assigned team leader, therefore by giving her the role of producer would be a good choice as she has to organise the group, therefore putting her in charge of production would be better than choosing a different group member. In her role she has taken charge of  who is going to play each role in the production and then oversees how they do it.

Devon also played the role of director in our thriller sequence, a director is incharge of everything creative in the scene, and directs the making of the film, this was because she was team leader, and therefore giving her this role would make sense rather than anyone else playing this role. She played this role well making sure we filmed the sequence within the deadline.

The actors in the sequence were Sophie and me, our role was to act out the roles we had given to the characters in the opening, choosing Sophie because she was blonde and me because the killer was meant to be a tall.

In the production, Scott was the director of photography, this meant he was in charge of all of the camera equipment and had to take charge of all of the filming, making sure the camera was in the right place for the scene and make sure he got the right camera angles. Scott did this well as he did everything he needed to do.

Scott was given the role of sound director, this meant he was in charge of all of the sound in our opening sequence, meaning he had to decide which sound track to include and which sound effects and when. We gave Scott this role as he is very creative and would do the task well,

Screenplay writing was done by everyone, as this meant we all had an input instead of one person writing all of it, this meant we would all be satisfied with how it was wrote and we could put the best of all ideas into one sequence.

The role of editor was given to me, this was because I had previously edited the preliminary task and had experience in cutting and trimming the clips. Being an editor meant I had to put all of the clips in the correct order, cutting them, as well as adding the correct effects and sounds for different effects. I did this role well, however because this was a hard task, I had the rest of my group available for assistance.
