Oliver Bridle
For our project, Oliver was the director of the movie. He kept a picture in his head of how he wants the scene to look and where the characters need to be for the whole scene in order for the production to be carried out as planned. Any changes the characters or set would have to be considered thoroughly by him because a change that is small or large can impact the outcome of our project. Since half of our project was filmed in his house, he could change objects in the room to suit the scene.
He was also the producer as well as the director which meant that he was in charge of the script and who said what, where they said it and how they say it. Like the directing role, all changes or adaptations made to the script will need to be discussed and thought out so we don’t make any unseen errors through the editing process or any obstacles that can impact our productivity or the project itself. If any errors are seen after the production was over, it can risk damaging the continuity of the scenes and ruin the realism or ‘cinematic illusion’ for the audience.
He was in charge of the editing of our project, he needed to keep in charge of the editing so he can create the project using his own ideas that he had planned from before the project started. He was also one of the most experienced in the area of editing footage so he was aware of the multiple tools and effects that are available in the Adobe collection. We would have to discuss as a group what changes we would need to make during the editing process to improve our production and all decisions made would need to be approved by Oliver. After the processes needed for our movie were complete, he had to upload our videos to YouTube so that we can evaluate them and complete coursework based on them.
His last job in our project was acting ‘Detective 2’ in the first scene. Since he was the director and writer of the project, he knew what he needed to say and do to act out that scene in his image. He would act out the other actors’ roles to demonstrate to them what they need to do and say properly to complete the scene correctly.
Edward Lai
One of Edward’s jobs was to edit the media for our project, an example of this would be our film company’s logo.
Oliver came up with the name “Ramhorn Studios” because it sounded ominous and creepy for a horror based company. Ed was using Adobe Photoshop to produce his own idea of what the company logo should be. He chose do this because he was experienced of editing pictures outside of the project since he had gained his knowledge in previous lessons.
Here is an example of what he has edited.
He also did the location research and this was important because it allowed us to discuss where the best places were for our production and to get the atmosphere we needed from the environment.
He did the background research for the planning of the project. This is important because it gave us extra information about the areas that were involved in our film, such as costume research. The costume research was important because it gave us an idea of what the adults wore during the 1970s era, this would impact the realism of the movie if it is not accurate.
He was in charge of the photography of the movie, he needed to take pictures throughout the filming process and editing stages cover the behind the scenes basis of the project. Similarly to the editing, Edward was also experienced in photography because of his hobbies outside of school so this meant that he knew about the different framing techniques and how to use a camera more effectively. Getting the pictures for the behind the scenes was important because it is common for many films to have them and it gives an insight of the movie for the audience of how it was created.
He played the ‘Detainee’ in the project because we thought he would be suitable to play a typical teenager of the 1970s. This was a vital role in the project because the ‘Detainee’ was the one who the film is based on and without him, the film had not had a main antagonist.
The role was to follow the script and complete any actions that Oliver told us to do to finish the scene.
Nicholas Bryant
I was in charge of keep the team organised and making sure that no important information is missed throughout the project’s production stages. If there was information missed, it could lead to conflicts amongst the team members or inconvenient absences.
Keeping effective and efficient organisation is key during team-based projects because it can slowly fall apart or pieces/areas of work can be missed, forgotten about or damaged in some way. If the project has no organisation then it can lead to being rushed and some stages that are important will not be done properly and with enough thought which can greatly impact outcome of the film.
I needed to distribute out the coursework and research to the group the different team members to ensure that no-one feels overworked or stressed which can lead to a drop in morale or confidence which can have a further impact on the effectiveness of the team. I also needed to keep constant communication with each team member to inform them on any upcoming project-based meetups were happening or any important updates that the group will need to hear in order to continue with coursework.
I tested out the Adobe Programmes to gain knowledge on the different techniques that are available in the software. To do this, I put together a small collection of different fonts, styles and backgrounds as examples to see which ones are the best to use if we needed them for our project.
I also played ‘Detective 1’ in the project. Like the role of the ‘Detainee’, I was able to be placed around the set for where Oliver wants so that we could continue filming the scene.
Ergist Grricaj
In the picture, Ergist is editing and evaluating the mood board. He has a hobby of drawing which meant that he was capable of drawing accurate and well-made art so he was the most suitable for the role of the concept art and mood board.
Creating a mood board was important in the early stages of our production because it gave the director and the other members of the team an idea of what their movie will be about and what to expect when it comes to carrying out the acting stages.
Like Edward and Oliver, he has a clear understanding to the editing software that was available. He helped Oliver with the editing for the movie, mood board and other areas of the project to help speed up the production rate for the movie and coursework.
Even though he is not a part of the film, Ergist’s roles were to complete any additional research that required detailed explanations and because of his past experiences in media, he could evaluate different forms of media in great and accurate detail.
