Pre-Production: Team Roles and Responsibility (Producer)

Team roles and responsibility

Within our group of four which are myself, Rosie, Lawrence and James, we have given the different roles by the director to work on while we are making the music video for an unsigned artist which it has different responsibility to fill if we are going to be as a group.

Lawrence A: Director

Lawrence has been handed the role of being the director for this music video since he is the one who came with the idea of making the video for the unsigned artist of Johnny Hutch's Two Wolves so it is promoting his image and the track of Two Wolves at the same time  to the target audience depending on the genre of the song that it is. While working with the per-production and production stages with the producer, camera and the lighting operator during the making this music video of Two Wolves, he is going to be using his artistic vision to visualize of what is going to happen in the video through the visuals so it is able to enhance the artist's image in a way that it will attract an bigger audience for the artist.

Daniel Storey: Producer

I was handed this role of being the producer by the director because he felt that I am more than capable of taking responsibility for the team of making sure that the team can get the pre-production, production and post-production stages before an deadline has to be met to be completed for the music video to be finished and put on YouTube to promote the artist's image and the song itself but not only that I will need to write an risk assessment on both locations that we are going to be using to film our music video because there is could be hazards that could end with one of the crew getting hurt so it is important to take photos of it so we can avoid it when it comes to filming.  

James White: Camera Operator

As for the camera operator of the music video, the director (Lawrence) decided to pick James of doing this role because he has got experience of how to use the camera in terms of changing the framing, focus and composition of different camera shots that are going to be seen in the video to gain the audience's interest in the visuals because they are interested in that rather than the music being heard today but also he will need to work with the director on the shot list of what types of shots are going to be seen in the video. Other things that he needs to do is story-boarding the music video of what is happening in the shots and how long the shots are going to be, shooting script of what is going to be happening with the visuals and the music itself which he is going to be working with the director and doing the animatic of what is going to be seen in the video with the assistant director.

Rosie Hellawell: Lighting Operator/Assistant Director

Finally I am going to be talking about Rosie who is going to be the assistant director during the pre-production stage where she is going to be working with the producer (myself) on the section where we have to talk about the technicial and production crew in terms of who is appearing in the production stage of making the music video and working with the camera operator in terms of the animatic of how each shot is going to look like but it will be drawn on paper. After moving from this and to the production stage of filming the music video, she is going to be acting as the lighting operator since she has experience of lighting a set which she did on a 1 minute short film which it is important for the music video that is going to be made soon as we need to create mood and atmosphere in the visuals.
