Personal Role and Contribution to Filming Day!

As individual people we each had individual roles to fulfill on the day of filming to ensure the day went smoothly and also so we each had individual and equal exposure to get credit for certain things. Here is the jobs I had to complete on the day and how I think I did!


My job of the day mostly consisted of being the "Makeup Artist", Actor and occasionally I filmed certain parts of the storyboard. 

  • As the "Makeup Artist" I started off the day at about 10:45am to ensure the makeup and hair was complete in time for shooting. I found it fairly easy as Makeup and Hair is one of my passions and I enjoy it very much. I was glad to get this role because I know I was capable to do it to the best of my ability and the group trusted me to do it well.

For a more in-depth insight to how the makeup and hair was done look at the top section of our Mise-En Scene Post.

  • My second job as an Actor in our opening sequence started as soon as we got to the shooting location. The reason i was chose to play a role in our opening sequence was that we could find no one that wanted or was able to play the character of the Motherly Figure so the group and I decided that it would just be best for one of us to play it. I found it quite challenging at first as acting in front of a camera is different to acting on stage plus coming up with signals to basically mean "action" was hard especially from long shots. However i think this role was completed successfully by myself and  i enjoyed it very much.
  • My final job was taking part in filming some of the opening sequence. As a group we decided that we would all get a chance at filming, even though I was doing the acting i got to film so individual shots of the Old Man character. I found it very fun and it gave me a positive feeling as it was nice to be creating something. It wasn't very hard especially because we had our storyboard to follow but i did find it frustrating at times just to get a particular shot. 
  • When we start editing we will all, as a group, be editing together to ensure everything is equal and we can all decide on shots we like!
