Oh hello there, I didn’t see you. Step inside, we don’t bite.
Welcome to our Media Studies Blog! We created a movie opening with a genre of action and crime, aimed at the target audience of ages 17-35 (down there ↓).
In order to ensure that tasks were spread out evenly, we decided on “official” specific job roles so we could all contribute rather than one person doing all the work. However, we shared out the responsibilities to ensure we all got a chance to explore different roles.
OFFICIALLY:
Jay: As the editor, sound designer and camera operator, I was responsible for ensuring that the camera was in prime condition and was ready to use. I was in charge of physically operating the camera when filming and made sure that the composition of shots, previously decided, would be maintained during production. As head-editor, I overlooked editing for the production and made sure that the editing of each cut was as we had imagined, and planned it to be. Last of all, as sound designer I was in charge of music for the opening while ensuring that it fit with the genre and the movie itself.
Sneha: As the director, I had the responsibility of ensuring that all the cast and the rest of my team members were working together coherently and everything went smoothly. I was also in charge of casting alongside the producer. As a production designer, I gathered and arranged all the costume, props, and makeup and was in charge of other aspects of mise-en-scene as well such as set design. I also worked with the editor to see if any elements could be enhanced during post-production.
Kanaiya: As a producer, I was responsible for all aspects of production. I worked closely with the director in putting together the the cast, and I was also in charge of what locations were used. I oversaw the project from conception to completion and my role as cinematographer was helpful as I had to make artistic and technical decisions. I was in charge of ensuring that any camera shots or angles used were aesthetically pleasing when it needed to be, and for this, the shot lists I created were utilised optimally.
We hope you enjoy our blog and film opening! :)
