Our roles within this pop video.

Our group is made up of four people, and we fairly distributed roles to each member of our ensemble.

It was important as to distribute jobs across the day as part of being an organized team. Working together or seperately was very important as every help contributed to the overall process.

Here the picture features us as a team, Karis, Jake, Hector and Emilia. Aswell as Affie in his chair, being the centre focus.

Over the course of our shoot day, I was given the role of a Director. "A film director is a person who directs the actors and film crew in filmmaking.They control a film's artistic and dramatic aspects, while guiding the technical crew and actors". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_director . I really enjoyed this role due to being able to take charge of the crew and directing to the camera man (Hector) which shots worked and which didnt, as a role of a director i also wrote a detailed anaylisis of the certain shots we took, if they were good or not, the type of shot we did and diagrams as well. Being the director i had to keep the group alert, up to date with changes which may have occured throughout the day and also we couldnt be too relaxed and laid back throughout the day otherwise our work would have been sloppy and messy. I felt i was a good director and team leader, through my organizational and directing skills. I felt the group was kept tightly together throughout the day, even in Guildford and we had a succcessful shoot day.

Hector main role was camera man, although other peple in our group each had a turn on the camera, Hector did a very good job, he was able to white balance, focus and use saturation on the camera. Hector also got the opportunity to use the dolly, this specialised peice of equipment we were lucky to be able to use and it was a very vital peice of equipment for our group. 

 Karis also contributed to this, when i was helping out with the dolly, she took over my role as director for a few minutes. Karis mainly focused on playback, this was an important role as she had to manage when to play the track, pause and go back to the beginning, this was vital and she had to be on the ball, all the time.

Jake was mainly incharge of the lighting desk, he controlled the monitors and was able to adjust the various lights we had installed and positioned in the studio. Jake had to be careful especially when using the blinders due to when the exposrue was put up to much, the only thing that came out on camera was a white screen, so the picture was lost. But we resolved this problem when we could look at the monitor and adjust the buttons at the lighting panel in order to achieve the best light.
