Technical role

Definitions
Editor: 'The person in an audiovisual post-production crew who assembles the production elements of footage, images, effects, etc in the detailed sequence that creates the final produced program. ' 

Cameraman: 'A camera operator is a person that operates a film or video camera for the purpose of recording a production to film, video, or a computer storage medium.'

Lighting: 'In cinematography, the use of light can influence the meaning of a shot. For example, film makers often portray villains that are heavily shadowed or veiled, using silhouette.' 

With a technical role in the group it is my job to film the production using the video camera. I plan to use three cameras to get a variety of shots. It will also save a lot of time, because we won't have to keep repeating scenes. It is also my responsibility during post-production to edit the video together, making sure that it all flows together with continuity and precision, conveying the meaning of the song through the visuals to enable the audience to engage with the meaning and develop and emotional response. Lighting is very important within production and as the definition says, it is essential when trying to convey meaning in the shot. I plan to get my lighting certificate this week, so that we're able to light our production properly and convey meaning to the audience. The lighting certificate is a short examination to determine the safety of myself, my colleagues and the band when shooting.
