Filming Duties

As you could imagine when it comes to filming for a project each person will have a duty to do. whether it be in front or behind the camera.

This is a camera man, doing his part!

The camera man is in charge of...well it says it in the name, the camera! his duties would be to set up the camera, at  desired angle for each shot and then record the footage. The directors duty is to direct the movie, obviously. He/she basically has to make sure everything runs smoothly, they will direct the actors, tell them what to do and what positions they should be in. They have to give the signal to the camera man when to start recording and when to stop recording as well. When the director says 'rolling' the cameraman will start recording then they will say 'action' a few seconds later and that is when the scene takes place. The reason there is a few seconds between saying rolling and action is so there is time for the actors to prepare and its gives more room for editing. 

And for the actors, well they act! They do what the director tells them, and hope they don't forget their lines.

Each person has a duty to do when filming where ever it is infront of the camera or behind the camera.

The cameraman roles are to set up the camera in a postion ready to start filming and to make sure it is in a good angle.When the director says start rolling this means that the camera man should start recording on the camera and gives the actors a few second to get in position.

The directors job is to make sure everything is going smoothly and everyone is in position.When the director says cut this means everyone can stop what there doing, if the director says action this means that the actors should start acting.
