A)
1. A film director is a person that is in charge of the whole project when making a film, for example where the cameras go, what angles and shots they are doing, what music is used with in the film and when and where, how the set looks and how the film is edited. He is involved in every part of the production from the preproduction when the planning of everything takes place to the post production when the full thing is put together in editing.
2. A camera operator is someone that is in control of the camera and films the content of what is being done. For example they could be filming the news or filming something live like an event or filming something like a documentary, or something such as a TV show or a film. The Camera operator has responsibilities to able to take orders and have the skills to be able to do what is asked. For example be able to keep the camera on the subject and have to know knowledge of filming such as camera angles, shots and movements. If he or she can not do these things then outcome will not be what the director wants. The camera operator is only involved in the production stage of the production, there is no need for him/her to be in pre production because the directer/writer/producer will plan the shots and angles. And no need to be in the post production because the editor is responsible for putting the footage together.
B)
1. The director would not need any equipment that would be used in any of the stages in production for example he/she would not need a camera or a computer or a microphone or any software. The directer would need equipment to communicate with the people he/she is responsible for. For example communicating with the camera operator is he/she is to far away in a large landscape scenario.
2. The camera operator obviously uses a camera as part of there equipment but if he/she was filming something far away from the director for example a set outside in a desert for example, he/she would have a headset so they could communicate with the director and take instructions without being disruptive to everything else going on.
C)
1. The skills you need to be a directer are that you would need to be a director is to be organised, in control and demanding because you need to tell someone if they are doing something wrong, how to do it right. Its also on your shoulders if something goes wrong or if someone hasn't turned up and you need to be calm and in control to fix the problem. We have had different inputs from different employers such as Warp studios and Sheffield Live TV, working with these people we have had to work towards a deadline and manage everything that we are doing in the project, as well as working with in a brief that we have been given and making sure it is suitable for it to be aired. which have made us develop the skills you need to be a director.
2. The skills that you need to carry out this role is you need to know how to use and move a camera in a professional way and have knowledge of what you need to do for example, angles, shots and movements. The input from Sheffield Live TV and Warp Studios have also made us develop our skills that we would need to be a camera operator. Such as filming a short trailer for a film and a TV show that contains a lot of different camera shots, movements and angles.
D) Compare the contributions and responsibilities of each to the production.
The film director has a large contribution to the production because with out someone in charge the whole thing would be unsuccessful for example know one would have a way forward or know where to go or what to do and if the project managed to be finished it would not be produced as well as it could of been with a lead director. The Director is one of the top most important roles with in the industry. Whilst the camera operator has responsibilities to able to take orders and have the skills to be able to do what is asked. For example be able to keep the camera on the subject and have to know knowledge of filming such as camera angles, shots and movements. The director is in charge of he camera operators so he/she is not dealing with as many responsibilities as the director, he/she just needs to know how to use an camera and listen to instructions. this role is a lot smaller than the other i have looked at because this role requires attention to one thing whilst a director is in charge and responsible for multiple things. The Directer is also involved with all the parts of the production from pre pre production to post production but the camera operator is only involved with the production such as recording the footage.
