Production Roles - Miss Miller

Production Roles:

 

People need to be allocated specific roles when creating a film because individuals have different skills that are suited to different roles.

Company name: Our company name is "Dark productions", conventional to the thriller genre because dark connotes evil and negativity. Our company name appearing on the scrren before the thriller is shown, immediately gives the audience an idea of the genre of the thriller film that they are watching.

Actresses:

Actors/actresses study and practice a new script for each audition. They confer with the producer to learn about the role to be portrayed and the style of speech and body language desired.

Actors/actresses interpret a new part or role in order to develop the character's personality as desired by the author and producer. They rehearse with co-actors to smooth out the acting interactions. Actors/actresses read and analyze supplementary background information about the character portrayed in sources such as history books, the archives or earlier works by the author.
The two main actresses in this thriller clip are Ayesha and Yasmin Bhatti who will play siblings that have have a very close relationship.The fact that they are sisters in reality, will make easier for is when filming because they already have that natural bond with each other.

Directors: Directors may write the film's script or commission it to be written; or they may be hired after an early draft of the script is complete. Directors must then develop a vision for the finished film, and define a practical route for achieving it. During pre-production, Directors make crucial decisions, such as selecting the right cast, crew and locations for the film. They then direct rehearsals, and the performances of the actors once the film is in production. Directors also manage the technical aspects of filming, including the camera, sound, lighting, design and special effects departments.    It is the role of the directors  to  direct the actresses to delever each scene to the highest possible standard. We decided to share the director's role between both Deanna and I so that we can use different perspective's to convey the same message in our thriller, the job of the director's is to tell the actresses what they need to achieve in each scene.

Music:
Background music is used to add emotion and rhythm to a film. Usually not meant to be noticeable, it often provides a tone or an emotional attitude toward the story and/or the characters epicted. In addition, background music often foreshadows a change in mood. For example, dissonant music may be used in film to indicate an approaching (but not yet visible) menace or disaster. Background music may aid viewer understanding by linking scenes. For example, a particular musical theme associated with an individual character or situation may be repeated at various points in a film in order to remind the audience of motives or ideas. 
The music in our thriller clip will be provided by myself, the music will be both diegetic and nonn-diegetic and the sounds that I will use will be based on the thriller clip in order to enhance what is going on in the thriller film.

Costumes:

 

Costume design is one of the most important factors in the filmmaking industry. Along with the script, actors and music, the clothing and various costumes worn throughout a film have a very important role to fulfill. They can make the characters interesting and believable, sad or funny, good or evil, and they can greatly influence-sometimes at a subconscious level-how the audience sees the characters that wear them.

Films focused on the current time period in a realistic way don't usually impress through costume design, because they show familiar clothing being worn in familiar settings. What should be given a closer look are films that step aside from common convention and create characters whose images are deeply shaped by what they wear.The person that is in charge of the costumes for the thriller film will be Deanna who was given this responsibility because of her ability to use her creativity to send a message to the audience through the visyual appearance of the characters in the film. Deanna is responsible for choosing and co-oordinating items of clothing for the characters in the film that would be suitable to the theme of eaqch scene.

Hair and Makeup:Makeup artists that work in television and film help to communicate the personality of the characters to the viewers. They use makeup as a way to improve, enhance or alter the appearance of the actors and the actresses to ensure that they are suitable for the scene they are about to play out. The person responsible for hair and makeup for the thriller is Ayesha as she is very experienced whith hair and makeup. Ayesha will be responsible for making theappearance of the characters suit the mood of the scene due to the use of hair and makeup.

Editors & Production:
Some say that editing is the most important part of the film making process. It certainly is what allowed film to move from simple visual records of events to complex story telling.
Because of the importance of editing, the editor’s role may equal that of the director. Regardless of the footage shot for a film, it will be worthless unless care and creativity is invested in deciding which shots will appear; in what order; and how long they will remain on the screen. Ayesha, Deanna and I are each responsible for the editing of the thriller film, we came to this decision because each of us have unique idea that when merged together, can be very beneficial in the production and editing of our thriller film.

Director of Photography: This will also be my role as I have a create perseption for where different types of camaera angles should fit into each scene at the appropriate time in order to get the reaction that we expect to get from the audience that is watching our thriller film.

Director of photography (Underwater): Deanna is responsible for theis role because she had a clear vision of what the underwater scenes of our movie should look like and the way the camera angles used will impact the scene eefectively in order for the audience to feel sympathy for the character that is in the water.
