Planning: Production roles (Miss Begum)

Production roles are positions in which are given to certain people to help make the film. Each person which a role is responsible for their own and has to fulfill it. These are some of the production roles...


1) Camera operator: 

Organise the scenes by working alongside the story boarder operating the camera to capture different shots, angles and sizes. Responsible for capture and bring ideas alive on screen.


2) Producer:
The producer makes sure everything is ready for the director and ensures good communication amongst the entire team.

3) Director:
A director is the person who controls the making of the film. Also controls the films artistic and dramatic aspects and visualises the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision. Director also finalises decisions.

4) Lighting:
Responsible for the design of the lighting plan for a production. Ensures there is the right lighting for different scenes.

5) Location:
This role is responsible in finding a suitable and necessary location for the different scenes.

6) Costume, hair & make-up:
This role is responsible in making the actors/actresses look their character. The appearance of the characters are extremely important as they need to match the expectations of the character they are playing.

7) Storyboard:
The story boarder is responsible in planning the scenes and making sure they're being fulfilled. Without the story board the scene would not flow very well and would be very unorganised.

The editor is responsible in putting the scenes together so they look professional and flow better.

9) Sound:
The sound person is responsible in creating the music included in each scene.
