Job role

My job was to do the storyboarding which I completed so the whole plan was good enough for our trailer and I made it so it was not hard to understand and each step was a lot more easier to read than the rough plan on postick notes.

I am also being the actor in the trailer and I am in charge of the Costumes/Props/makeup.



Storyboarding

Storyboard artists help the head of story create a visual representation of the films narrative. They translate the script and directors vision into pictures. They produce a series of panels of images to plan the shots and ensure continuity between them. They would also work closely with director in the pre production stage.

Costumes, props, make-up

Costume designers design, create and hire the costumes for the cast. They start by working with directors, producers, writers, the production designer and hair and makeup designer to contribute to the look and storytelling of the production. They research and draw mood boards of characters and clothes to communicate the style. A prop is any moveable item that can be seen on film such as a hat or a gun. The prop master run the property department which makes, stores and transports the props as well as preps the props for each day's shoot.

Talent/Actor

An actor interprets and portrays characters to entertain an audience on television, film, theatre, and other performing art venues. They work in several environments such as theme parks, production studios, theatre's, or at a specific filming location.


What have you done to prepare for the shoot?

I have made a storyboard and finished it so we could all know what we are doing when it comes up to the point of filming the trailer then I planned the costumes and props on a document and added to the wix blog.

What is your responsibility on the days of the shoot?

My responsibility is to be a n actor and be in some of the scenes during the shoot.

How are you going to full - fill that role?

I am going to try and make my acting look realistic and get in the moment of all my facial expressions.
