Assignment 13: filming jobs task

Set: Mon Jan 16
Due: Thur Jan 19

This presentation is to show your individual responsibilities within your filming group. In the real filming industry, there are many jobs in which people work together to create a film. You must choose appropriately - you will know who is a strong leader and who has what strengths/weaknesses.

The director will be my choice and you choice the rest. Everyone will be cameraman and contribute to filming in some way.
The directors are.......

Abigail or Gledis
Debbie
Luara
Kaya


You do slides individually and then bring them together to make one powerpoint. Remember to use your normal colour codes. You should include a picture of yourself to make it clear of who you are. CHOOSE APPROPRIATE PICTURES - you in a mini skirt at a club is not appropriate, it should be mid shot and professional, attire should be something close to uniform.
