key personnel analyse

pre-production:

storyboard artist- are a sequence of drawing, directions and descriptions used to plan out shots needed to film. Storyboards helped with the production of my film as they tell directors/camera operators when and where they are shooting.
 

screen writer- A screenwriter writes the plot and narrative of the film, this is important in order to tell cast and crew about the film so they can do things accordingly to help display this storyline

script writers- a scriptwriter writes the script so the actors/crew know actions and dialogue they need to do. This is important for pre-production so the actors can learn these before they begin filming

Production:

Actors- These are important as they play the character and make the story believable.
 

lighting tech- This is someone who control lighting levels.This is important when filming the poltergeist as it sets the mood for the scene, as it is a horror film low key lighting is used a lot to create a scary atmosphere in the film.
 

director- This is someone who directs the activity on set so the scenes are able to be shot properly. This is important for my film as this is the person who tells people what to do and where to go so scenes can be filmed to create the correct connotations e.g fear, shock.

 

Post production:

foley sound artist- this is important for my film as it is a horror genre, this means sound such as doors slamming,floor creaking is important to create a scary atmosphere and make the audience scared.
 

editor - A whole team would be involved in the editing stage.Editing is also important for my film becuase the way something is edited can create a different meaning, in my film there is a lot of fast cuts and shot type change, this would all be put together in this stage
 

marketer- this person would be in charge of marketing and advertising, this is important as you need good advertisement to get people involved and want to see the film. This is also important to attract the correct target audience, for my film they used fast/scary trailers and dark posters to attract an audience that likes horror films.
