Planning: Production roles

Editor
The editor is a person who is in charge of and determines the final content of a film. The role of a film editor is to select and combine shots into sequences and ultimately create a finished motion picture. They create transitions and effects that create tension upon the audience. The whole process is called film editing. In my group Khaled has taken the role to be the editor as he understands the transitions between all the scenes and what effect they should have.

Producer
is a person responsible for the financial and managerial aspects of the making of a film or broadcast. As the preproduction process begins, the producer and the director should work closely together and collaborate about how the production process and the entire scope of the film should take place. The producer and the director must share a common goal; to make a picture that they both believe in. And therefore I took on the role of being the producer for my thriller as i worked closely with khaled (Director) to ensure we were both sharing the same views

Camera operator Camera operator is a photographer who operates a movie camera. I also took on the role of being the camera operator. It was my job to record moving images for the film with instructions given by the director. My work involved setup and positioning camera equipment, planning and rehearsing shots and working closely with other technical departments such as lighting and sound.









Director

The director is the person responsible for the interpretive aspects of a stage, film, or television production; the person who supervises the integration of all the elements, as acting, staging, and lighting, required to realize the writer's conception. A film director must have a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of film production and therefore Khaled took on this job role.







Lighting OperatorA lighting operator is a person who creates lighting to complement the stage, set or location within a theatrical or film production. They ensure the correct lighting is used in each scene that is presented to the audience to ensure that they get the right response from the audience depending on the theme. For Example in our thriller movie were going to use low key lighting as it doesn’t reveal much about the surrounding to the audience.

Location manager
The location manager is a member of the film crew responsible for the finding and securing locations to be used, obtaining all needed fire, police and other governmental permits, and coordinating the logistics involved for the production to successfully complete its necessary work. They find the suitable location needed in a film to suit its genre and the themes that take place within it. 

Costume & makeup artist

Make-up Artists are briefed by Chief Make-up Artists, who provide them with detailed notes, character and scene breakdowns, and if necessary reference pictures about the characters they must create. They prepare and change the actors into the shoes of the characters they need to play depending on the characteristics of the character, the time its set and the age. In our thriller Benjimina took on this job role as she’s got experience in this field she can put into the thriller.
