The roles each person in the group is going to play:
Camera Operator (Lauren, Dipika Ayesha)
Actor (Lauren, Dipika, Ayesha)
Editor (Lauren, Dipika, Ayesha)
Location Manager (Lauren and Ayesha)
Sound Technician (Lauren)
Storyboard Manager (Dipika)
Film Director (Ayesha)

We applied the roles to each person in the group because we thought that they would be the best person for that particular job and would get the best results. We decided to useall three of us to be the camera operater because we all have different ideas for camera shots for each scenes. We believe that we would all be able to achieve good camera shots and so we were going to film different parts. This worked well for us whilst doing the preliminary task so we are going to use the same technique when film our thriller. Ayesha was chosen to be the film director because she has shown creative ideas such as locations and camera angles. She is organised and is good with communicating with everyone. I was chosen to be the sound technician because i have used garage band before and we thought i would have more of an idea on making the music. Storyboard manager is dipika because she is most organised and is aware or the specific scenes and angles that we planned to use.
