Production Management (PROPOSAL DOCUMENT)

5. Director
The director guides the rest of the crew in attempt to
fulfil his interpretation of the film script. A director’s
responsibilities include overseeing the artistic and
technical elements, as well as ensuring everyone in
the crew is working towards an identical vision for the
completed film.
Directors should ensure that the film meets the
criteria for the proposed age rating, and they must be
able to meet deadlines.
As a group, we will all (at some point) act as directors
whilst we are producing our trailer.

7. The cast should be chosen so that they
successfully represent the characters we have in
mind. Our cast will be students in the sixth form
at Nower Hill High School, which means that we
will have to organise time to film when all
members of our group and actors are available.
Cast

9. Scriptwriter
We will all be playing a part in writing the script.
It will include all of the dialogue said by the
characters, any specific camera shots we have
planned, props that the actors may use and
stage directions for the actors. All of these will
be typed out in chronological order for our
trailer so that when it comes to filming, our
ideas are clearly laid out and we know exactly
what we want to film.

11. PRODUCTION

13. Cinematographer
The cinematographer is the director of
photography who is responsible for what the
film will look like to the viewer. They must
consider the frame, the type of shot, the
lighting, the camera angle and how all of these
can influence atmosphere of the scene and
therefore the emotion of the viewer.

15. Make-Up and Costume Stylist
To ensure our actors successfully portray our
teenage characters, we must make sure they
come to the set wearing the appropriate
costume. To represent stereotypical teenage
girls, the female characters should be wearing
make-up. To ensure the actors are prepared and
come dressed appropriately, we will need to
inform them of what to wear and how to look
prior to the filming.

19. Editing
This is the process where all the scenes filmed
for the trailer are cut and put together into the
final piece. As editors we will add effects, titles
and music to our trailer, and we will also be
editing the sound and ensuring that our trailer
reaches a professional standard.
