De/reconstruction - role allocation

In order to make it so that every member of the group makes a contribution, we have assigned different roles to different people in the group:

Director - Alx Southerington
Producer - Louise Smith
Main cast: Danny Mail (me)
Camera - Blue Stephenson
Editor - All

We chose Alx to be the director as she is skillful at making important decisions during the production of videos/films. Also, she is the member of the group who re-produced our chosen song on a storyboard, and is therefore more familiar with the song than the other members of the group.

We chose Louise Smith to produce the reconstruction as she puts in a sufficient amount of detail whilst producing storyboards.

I was chosen to be the main cast member (the singer in the music video) as out of the two male members of the group (myself and Blue) I more closely resembled the singer, and owned similar clothes to what he is documented wearing in the video.

We chose Blue to be behind the camera as he has a steady hand and was able to skillfully produce tracking shots, which is a good thing as we had no access to a camera dolly. Even if we did, using one could prov problematic as we are filming on a street where people will want to walk into shops as well as park their cars.

We decided to have a shared input in editing as we eventually will need to produce our own videos individually. Therefore, it is good to allow ourselves to all practice with the editing software (Adobe Premiere)
