Group Roles- Stephen Norman

In terms of producing the trailer for our main task, pre-production planning involved myself producing all the documents involved in building the narrative and story for the product. This is reflected in the animatic in which I took on the same roles as for the final product of director and lead actor in which I attempt to convey narrative messages through the use of mise-en-scene in the form of props and acting. I also produced the pitch, initial ideas, script, and equipment list. I also produced the call sheet, budget and sound design as this linked in with my role for the production of the film trailer.

My primary role when producing the film was being the director, involving setting up each scene by working with the cinematographer to create a narrative plot line of the film were supposedly advertising to consumers. That being said I also took on the role as lead actor as I felt this would aid the time it took to film the product, as I could be involved in both roles simultaneously on set.

Post-production saw myself co-edit with the other member of -'Watch It and See', Luke Payne, in which we evenly allocated time to one-another to arrange and trim the clips we had filmed beforehand, as well as inserting text and production company logo's. The use of music was shared between myself and Luke, with both of us finding separate scores and deciding where they should be allocated on the final product. As Luke was the head cinematography and myself the director, we both exchanged ideas on how we felt the product would look best when communicating our ideas to the viewers.

My main role for the ancillary task was to produce a magazine front cover in the style an official film magazine, such as Empire or Total Film. I decided to take upon this role as I had various reading material and official magazines from the film industry at home in which I knew I could take inspiration from. That being said I still had input on the other ancillary task of a teaser poster produced by Luke Payne in which I conveyed my own ideas and suggestions on how the product would look best, as did he on my own ancillary task.

The blog itself has documents uploaded by both myself and the other member of this blog in which we have decided to upload our own produced documents for the most part, as we trusted each other to create the tasks set and upload them accordingly to the blog individually.
