Other Roles

I have taken on all of the post production roles and Miranda has taken on the role of cinematographer and director. Miranda will be in charge of the creative aspects in terms of how the film looks. As director she will also be filming.

What is the job of the cinematographer?
It is the cinematographers job to decide on the technical aspects of the image. These include lighting, composition, filtiration, lense choice and exposure. They often work vey closely with the director to ensure that they are supporting the directors vision of the story they wish to tell. In the early 19th century the cinematographer was usually also the director and the person physically handling the camera.

What is the role of a director?
A film director is a person who directs the actors and film crew in filmmaking. They control a film's artistic and dramatic aspects, while guiding the technical crew and actors.
Directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film under the film producer. They often develop the vision for a film and carry the vision out, deciding how the film should look- they make their vision come to life. They are responsible for turning the script into a sequence of shots. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Film directors are responsible for deciding camera angles, lens effects and lighting with the help of the cinematographer, and set design with the production designer. They will often take part in hiring key crew members. They coordinate the actors' moves, or blocking, and also may be involved in the writing, financing, and editing of a film.
