Group members and their roles

Oops ! This is kind of delayed but its worth mentioning, Shinji aka Pale fox previously brought up our individual roles, and i'm just going to elaborate on what the purpose of each role is:

ok, so repeating what shinji said here are the roles
We have:
Alexander Andrijanic: Director/ Camera operator: aka Tibetan Sand fox

(photo unavailable yet)
He is responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film. He helps with the development vision for our film and carry guides us group members to the vision out. he also directs what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Directing a film is a kind of storytelling. Alex is responsible for approving camera angles, lens effects, lighting, and set design He coordinates the actors' moves and is also involved in the writing, financing, and editing of a film.
Alex will work closely with the cast and crew to shape the film and may often take suggestions on pertinent issues.
He also plays a key role in post-production. Alex works with the editor (Shinji) to ensure that the emotions of the scene and the close ups, mid shots and wide shots appropriately reflect which character is driving the narrative. He will also advise on the (colour) grading of the final images, adding warmth or frigidity to the composition of the shots to reflect the emotional subtext of the character or environment.
As well as being the director Alex is also the camera operator, this role involves him being in charge of technical proficiency, pv equipment and making sure that everything is operational, the visual style and framing, as well as the story board and image reference file

Veronika Andrijanic: Producer aka red fox

As the producer, Veronika’s purpose is to create the conditions for our movie making process. Veronika initiates, co-ordinates, supervises and controls most matters. The producer is involved throughout all phases of the film-making process from development to completion of a project. She will be in charge of:
- bookings
- equipment (tapes, dvd’s etc)
- cast and crew
- catering
- shooting schedule/ call sheet
- budget
- props
- transport

Shinji Yamamoto: Editor aka pale fox

Shinji will be a responsible for all of our film editing, because Shinji is an expert at programming this makes him the perfect person for the job. He will be in charge of assembling all of our footage. However, Shinji’s job isn’t just simply to mechanically put pieces of a film together, cut off film slates, or edit dialogue scenes. He must creatively work with the layers of images, story, dialogue, music, pacing, as well as the actors' performances to effectively "redirect" and even rewrite the film to craft a cohesive whole. Shinji will play a dynamic role in the making of a film.

Viviene Gamboa: Sound manager aka arctic fox


As the sound manager/ sound recordist/ production sound mixer, I am responsible for recording all the sound and sound effects on set, for later inclusion in the finished product or for reference to be used for the editor.
This means I’m in charge of :
- Deployment of microphones
- Choice of recording media
- Mixing audio signals
It also includes being in charge of equipment such as
- microphones
- booms
- audio storage
- cables
- tools
- and small amounts of stationary for making notes and logs

Sora Son: Runner aka swift fox

Being the runner is one of the most integral parts of he production team, Sora is responsible for:
- fetching and carrying items, such as equipment, tapes, cable and scripts;
- helping set up a location for a shoot;
- clearing up after a shoot;
- undertaking basic research;
- transcribing production tapes
- sorting out the kit bags, for example checking that the camera bag contains all the necessary items
- writing down shot lists

Even though this is our allocated roles, we as a group understand that some group members may have more work loads then others, in saying this our roles may change during the course of process in our production and our work load will be shared around equally.
