Allocating Pre-Production Roles

Allocating Pre-Production Roles

Before we finalise the idea for our film or begin filming, we need to allocate pre-production roles which will enable us to prepare for the filming stage of our project. These roles will be allocated equally throughout the group.

 The first role that we have allocated in our group is the Location Scout, we are sharing this role between the whole group as we think it's important to evaluate our options for shooting locations as a group. We have already done part of this as yesterday we went to Bolnore Village in order to see whether or not it is a suitable filming location, and we have decided that we will probably shoot part of our film there.

The Prop Buyer role in our group is once again shared between all of the members, we think that it would be unfair to make one member of the group buy all of the props. Once we have decided on the props however, we are likely to order them all at once to save costs on delivery.

The StoryBoard Artists are also going to consist of the whole group, this is because it is an integral part of the pre-production and everybody needs to contribute their ideas and make sure that the film is going to be as everybody wants it.

The Animatics Director is going to be Erol, however we are all going to contribute the both of the animatics as they are once again a very important part of the pre-production of our film, therefore we should all be involved.

The Sound Director in our film is going to be Oscar, in all of the projects that we did last year Oscar did the sound to a very good quality. We will all contribute here, but Oscar will be the driver for this part of the project.

The Lighting Designer for the project is going to be me, from past project experience I believe that I will be the most appropriate person for the role.

The Screenwriter for our group is going to be Erol, he's the most creative in our group and thinks the most outside of the box. Because of this I believe that he will be the best person for the job.

The Camera Operators in the group are going to be everyone, however I am going to be doing the majority of the filming since we are planning for both Oscar and Erol to be acting.

The Costume/Hair/Makeup Designer + Buyer is going to be Oscar, he has shown that he is interested in doing this before. However, we are all going to buy the make-up since it would be unfair for one person to buy everything.
