Institutional Context

Job roles:

During the production of my film trailer, i will take on board a number of different roles in order to complete my task, here ,listed below, is a few of the jobs i will be doing.

Costume/Props:

I will be in charge of organising every characters costumes, this may consist of my making or purchasing costumes from shops such as oxfam as i will only being using them once and want a cost effective option. It is important that the costumes are correct for the genre and are suitable for the trailer otherwise the trailer will not be effective, also this is an important role as the costumes will help the representation of the characters. Along the production line i will also be using props for the trailer, this will include me either making, finding or purchasing props for the trailer.

Script/Storyline:

This can possibly change during the process of filming as when filming i could suddenly want to

improve on the script. It is important to have a script so the actors know what to act out, what they will say and what facial expressions they will have. This is a key part of the production and has to be perfect otherwise the trailer will flop and not attract its audience, as if the the storyline was rubbish then nobody would be intrigued by the trailer and want to see the film. So it is important that i create a script that fits with the genre and attracts the target audience.

Lighting:

Lighting is a key factor in creating a quality trailer, i will decide on whether i will use natural lighting or use lights. Lighting is important as it can create the mood, such as dark lighting in a horror film would set the mood and create tension. Lighting is also important in setting the mood.

Health and Safety:

This role is very important in the whole production of the trailer, since i will ensure all people involved are safe this is a large and key role, risk assessments of all locations i will film in are essential and will help me eliminate risks and reduce them to a minimum so nobody will get injured and and everyone involved will remain healthy.

Editing and post production:

Editing and post production is an important role within making the trailer as it involves editing each shot so they fit smoothly together in order to create the best effect. I will also need to edit the sound and add a soundtrack if possible. This process can also involve visual editing, special effect editing, adding in transitions and adding text slides. All of this is important as it will complete the trailer and ultimately, make or break the trailer.
