In our thriller production we won't have to allocate so many roles.These are the roles our Thriller film will require, these have been discussed within the group:

We have asked Evie and Billy to be actors in our thriller film as they both have acting experience and are willing to participate. We have decided as a group that Emma is most suited for the role as camera operator as she played this role for our preliminary task and the outcome proved successful. Also, we as a group have decided that Daisy should be film director because it would involve her working closely alongside the actors and she has a clear artistic view for our final outcome. Additional to this we have decided that I am the best person to take on the role as location manager because I am keen to secure good locations and I have a good eye for successful framing.Furthermore, there are three production roles of which all group members will be required to take on together: sound technician, editors and storyboard organiser. 

We are all sound technicians because we feel sound is an imperative element within our production therefore we all feel we should be involved.  

All group members are editors as the editing process will require all of our opinions as to which shot should follow from the next. The editing within a production is also key to whether it is successful or unsuccessful.

Lastly, we are all taking on the role as storyboard organiser because we all have differentiating visions therefore we find it important to include all of our ideas to create a successful final outcome.
