Call for Production Crew

Now that the cast for the film is almost close to being finalized, here are the production crew roles up for grabs! I am putting the titles and the job descriptions (mostly courtesy of Wiki) so that the expectations from each role are absolutely clear! Of course, they are all no-pay-but-all-fun roles! :)

Time commitments: Varies by role. But all weekends and public holidays from Jul-Sep (+/- 2 weeks) can be expected. Also a few weekends in earlier months.

a) Production Manager/Co-ordinator
- Assist in the charting of the schedule and making sure that it is stuck to, leads budget tracking, assists in sourcing of locations, getting required permits, if any and other logistics.

b) First Assistant Director (Must have experience in directing before)
- Day-to-day management of the cast and crew scheduling, equipment, script, and set. Also be responsible for directing background action for major shots or the entirety of relatively minor shots, at the director's discretion.

c) Costume Designer/Standby
- Responsible for all the clothing and costumes worn by all the actors that appear on screen. Also responsible for designing, planning, and organizing the costumes down to the fabric, colors, and sizes. Monitors the quality and continuity of the actors and actresses costumes before and during takes.

d) Make-up Artist/Hairdresser
- Assist in make up and hair dressing of the cast. The film does not require anything fancy and needs only simple everyday make-up in most parts but the cast would need assistance to get it done.

e) Production Sound Mixer/Sound Designer (Must have experience)
- Responsible for recording all sound during filming. This involves the choice and deployment of microphones, operation of a sound recording device, and sometimes the mixing of audio signals in real time. Also in charge of the post-production sound.

The roles will be assigned on a first come first serve basis, after a short interview. If you are interested, please let us know at makingofthefilm@gmail.com . And please help spread the word! Thanks!
