Regulating the lighting of every scene is also a necessary action carried.out by the camera operator.

A camera operator is essential as what's filmed is what the audience sees; regardless of how effective the storyboard is, it's up to to the camera operator to bring the sequence to life. The audience tends to  base their opinion of the film on the visual experience which the camera operator has total control over.
*This role will belong to Ella Sutherland which has the experience of filming a variety of shots from the preliminary task. Due to her technical ability of operating a camera, this role is most suited to her and therefore she will be responsible for the filming. 

Actors - actors are the most visible to the audience, playing an essential role in the film. Behind every actor,a director guides the performance and a screenwriter provides the plot and dialogue.
Although the role of actors is to simply act out the roles of the characters in the film, it is vital to control factors such as body language and facial expressions which have a great impact on the overall effect.

Sound technician - this role consists of audio editing and adjusting of the soundtrack.It is a creative yet technical role that enables decision making when it comes to sound effects and background sound. The main task involved is to process audio using a mixing board which aids to adjust the volume level of the microphone against the background sound. This is a vital role as it is responsible for all that the audience hears.

Editor - when the shooting of the film is completed, the editor organises the footage by arranging individual shots into one continuous sequence. The editor chooses which shots to use and the order in which to place which has a significant impact on the appearance of the final film. Editing consists of many different processes; either to do with sound or visual aspects. The visualisation is simply how all scenes taken from different angles are put together to form one continuous sequence. The sound editing involves inputting sound at the correct time so that everything is in sync and there is no delay between the sound and action.

*This role will be carried out by every member of the group as this is  too much for one person to carry out and so the editing work load will be distributed evenly.

This involves assessing the storyboard, discussing ideas with the director,scheduling dates and dealing with any intruders on set.

Storyboard organiser - this role involves organisation of illustrations into a chronological sequence in order to pre-visualise the motion of the film.

The lighting that will be used, where the scene is set,what actors will be present,the sound that'll be heard, the editing, iconography and narrative description must be included below all scene drawings.

*This role will be carried out by me personally as I have created the group story-board as well as the filming schedule so I'm most knowledgeable about the content of each scene. I am also most organised and have the ability to go into depth.
