Filming Roles

Media production is social collaboration which requires a division of labour-specialised skills in order to manufacture the right shots in getting the correct representation of the star image for the 'pop promo' and single release.
Here is how we decided to divide roles between our group:
Andrew will be the Director of element 2, Set 3.

I will be Camera person for element 2, set 3.

Andrew will be the Camera person for element 1, Set 1 and 2

Dora will be the Director of element 1, Set 1 and 2

I will be Director for element 3, set 4 and 5

Dora will be Camera person for element 3, set 4 and 5.

Art direction will be a matrix role, of whoever is watching the set (camera person, director, floor manager) and can be taken by anyone, as we all planned the art direction together

Ya Fei will be Floor manager throughout the day.

This plan will allow each of us to be a director and cameraman on the shooting day.
I decided to be a director of the third element as I already made a research into the costumes and make up for these sets and looked into similar products. Therefore, I am already familiar with the shots we want to make and going to be more skilled for it. This element is not very complicated and hopefully, I am well prepared and going to cope with all difficulties which are going to arise on the day. I already know which shots I want to make and the shot list will probably help me to remember them on the shoot day. The only thing I am worried about is how our artist is going to communicate with the guy that we are shooting together her with. At this point, they both said that they alright with it, but on the actual shooting day they may be too shy.

Another my role is a camera person for element 2. In my opinion, I am going to be the best person from our group for this role because I was a dancer myself for 10 years and I know which shots are better to be taken. Andrew will know the dance more as he is working closely with the dancers so working together should produce a good piece of work.
