Wednesdays lesson with Patricia is apparently about roles in the film industry. I’m on holiday in Mexico which was a previously arranged trip booked before Raindance accepted me into the HND course
My understanding of today’s lesson is that it will be spent describing the various roles in the industry and then the afternoon spent in role play so the class starts to get a better understanding of the various roles.
Speaking to group A, it sounds like it was an amazing lesson and I’m sad that I won’t be able to join in with Group B this week.
The crew roles as I understand them are
- Director
- Producer
- Sound Designer
- First Assistant Director
- VFX Supervisor
- Executive Producer
- Editor
- Production Assistant
- Key Grip
- Post Production Supervisor
- Line Producer
- Make Up Artist (MUA)
- Director Of Photography
- Colourist
- Second Assistant Director
- Production Designer
- Gaffer
- Digital Imaging Technician (DIT)
- Art Director
- Best Boy
- Data Wrangler
- First Assistant Camera
- Second Assistant Camera
- Script Editor
- Script Supervisor
- Dolly Grip
- Spark
- Stills Photographer
Many of these roles are currently a black art to me, and I need to understand more about what they do. To this end, I look forward to reading my classmate’s reports on the roles! 🙂
