Role and responsibilities

For better time management, my team mate and I decided to split tasks between the two of us. This is because we realised that it would be a more effective way of meeting deadlines. In the same time, we also believe that the quality of our project will improve as it will allow both of us to focus on different aspects of our project and thus, avoid chaos.

Alex: My team mate’s task will mainly revolve around the responsibilities of a director. Therefore, she is the one in charge of the storyboard. It is thus her duty to create a detailed guide of every shot, camera angles, lighting and timing. She will also be in charge with the production schedule, as well as what props we should use for the music video. There tasks include creating an accurate schedule for the days we are going to shoot, as well as what scenes we are going to shoot during the two days of filming.

The importance of my task: The storyboard will allow us to visualize the actions that our actors are going to make. By portraying our idea on paper, the storyboard is going to be an excellent guide that will allow us to concentrate on what we have to shoot without forgetting any aspect of the story. The schedule will also help us stay focused as well as allowing us to know exactly what we have to do.

Jazz: My task will revolve around the responsibilities of a producer. I will be the one in charge of the recce as well as completing call sheets, talent releases, risk assessments and location release forms. It is therefore my duty to decide and visit all the locations and annotate them, but also check all the potential risks that we might be taking. For example, any problems such as ethical issues and permission to film in certain locations are for me to decide and communicate to the rest of the team.

The importance of my task: My task is very important as it explores what possible locations we can use. My task also identifies any problems with our locations, which ultimately helps us decide if it’s realistic to film in certain places or not.

Joint tasks: Alex and I also decided that as a team, we should also concomitantly work with the camera and the continuity of our music video. The reason why we refuse to designate the tasks to only one member is because we believe that doing them together will allow us to work more productively. We also believe that those two tasks cannot be decided by only one member because we both want to allow ourselves the freedom to change anything at any time.
