Production roles in media -Unit 22

LO1-  P2 The job role I have chosen to talk about is cameraman In the this job roles communication is very important between the production team. Written communication is important as then the evidence of you saying this is logged. Through out 6 form I have made 2 trailers and 1 documentary. In the production of the first trailer I made, which was Counting Cards I was lead cameraman so I had the responsibility of making sure the footage was captured. With this I had too know what shots too take so the director (Ellis) sent me a shot list.
