Amy and I have looked into the roles that are typically involved in filmmaking so that we both know and are aware of what we are supposed to be doing when we film our main brief, and so that we can use these roles when making our film credits. The typical roles listed in credits include:
- Director(s):
A director is the driving force in a film's production - they visualise and define the style and structure of the film, and then bringing it to life. They also have control over the film's artistic and dramatic aspects and have a key role in casting and production design.

In charge of the visual concepts of the film e.g. design style for sets, locations, graphics, props, lighting, camera angles and costume

Amy and I have assigned ourselves in these roles for the main brief. We are sharing the role of director, as we both have ideas of how we think the brief should look and the different shots we want to use. We are both going to edit the brief, but we will split the editing roles between us (for example someone may do the first half, whilst the other does the second half or; someone may edit the clips whilst the other does sound and credits). This also will result in the editing of our brief being much quicker. We both wrote the script and we are both production designers and creators - as the idea is both of ours. However, I will be taking on the role of makeup artist by myself as i have a good idea of how I want the entity to appear, whilst Amy will be the music designer as we have to create our own music and sound for the brief.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we haven't been able to film our brief yet, meaning we will have less time to edit which is one of the main reasons that we hope to cut the editing time but splitting the role between us.
