Digital News Production: People's Roles

In our group we have 4 of us which means we can spread out the roles more;

We have me; my role is Producer which means I am in charge of most things that need doing up to the shoot. I organise everyone making sure everyone is free for when we need to film and who they will get to the shoot. I make sure we have everything we need to film so camera is booked with all the equipment, everyone knows their roles and what they are doing. First I have to find the story and get people to agree to let us film and get volunteers if we need interviews, then I need to plan the shoot with the people so when and what time plus what we will be allowed to do. We don't want to step any marks.

Next is Lex;
Lex is the main editor who will be editing the "LIVE OB" this is the Broadstairs Food Festival footage. Even though editing does not take place until after the shoot Lex will also be on sound or directing during the 2 shoots and doing research and blogging. Lex will help out with the idea's for the news pieces and help write the scripts as he is good at script writing.

Michael;
Mike's main role is camera man which is only during the shoots. Mike is also doing all the graphics for us, this includes the green screen effect, the intro and anything else we want to create. Graphics are a bit time consuming sometimes so these are Mike's main 2 jobs but he will also be helping with idea's and script so that will be a group contribution. So far Mike was the one who came up with the idea for the intro.

Sophie;
Sophie was originally suppose to be researcher but this was not a big role so Sophie will be helping out with things like script, blog and if I need any help until shoot day which she will then will be either sound or director, then she will be another editor and edit the package (the Banksy footage)..

This pretty much sums up our whole project as we have things planned and then the shoot people and are editors.
