Our groups roles and why:

Chardelle:
Director, Story boarder and hair and make up. Chardelle has been given these roles she was director and hair and make up from last year she has been given the role of director again as last year she got 110% out of the group and made sure we were on task. She has been given hair and make up again as she is again the only girl in our group so is the only one with experience in hair and make up. This year she is now the story boarder as she is the director so she can show the idea clearly.

Lashane:
Producer, Print designer, Photographer and Locations manager. Lashane has these roles because he was good at managing the budget last year so was great at producing. He is now the location manger as he knows very good locations for our video. He is now the photographer as it will be convenient for him to do so while we film and he has experience with photography. He is the print designer as he is the photographer so he will know what he wants to do with the shots on the album and in the digi pack.

Me:
Camera operator, Lighting and Editor. I have these roles because two of them I also had last year and I was chosen to be camera man and editor last year as I have many technical skills which makes it easy for me. I have now been given the role of lighting manager as I have the technical skills and also it helps as I am controlling the camera and the shots.

Why has this been beneficial:
This has been beneficial because everyone in our group knows what we are going to be doing so this has been saved us time and confusion when making our music video.
