 In filmmaking, the leading cameraman is usually called a cinematographer, while a cameraman in a video production may be known as a television camera operator, video camera operator, or videographer.

Cameramen are responsible for physically operating the camera and maintaining composition and Camera angles throughout a given scene or shot. In narrative filmmaking, the Camera Operator will collaborate with the director, director of photography, actors and crew to make technical and creative decisions. 

 Significance Camera Operator Skills: Includes choreographing and framing shots knowledge of and the ability to select appropriate camera lenses, and other equipment (Dollies, Camera Cranes) to portray dramatic scenes. The principles of dramatic story telling and film editing fundamentals are important skills as well. Camera Operator is required to communicate clearly and concisely on sets where time and film budget constraints are ever present.

I am going to be looking after the camera, also I am going to be filming the trailer; with various shots. For instance: Crane, Close up, Medium shots etc... Also, when I'm filming I am going to be using different techniques to incorporate suspence and tension in our trailers, for instance: Zooming in and out to portray an emotional scene and an incident occuring.

Film Producer

A film producer oversees and delivers a film project while preserving the integrity, voice and vision of the film. They will also often take on some financial risk by using their own money, especially during the pre-production period, before a film is fully financed.

The producer is often actively involved throughout all major phases of the filmmaking process, from inception and development to completion and delivery of a film project.

As a film producer in my project of making a teaser trailer I am going to assist with directing the characters in the scenes, for instance: telling the characters to redo a scene because its not how I pictured it. Also as a film producer I am going to be making the decisions on how our teaser trailer is filmed, for instance: sound, lighting, voice and mise-en-scene.

At the moment, because we have not started to film, as a producer I will be making the decisions on what pictures are going to be used in our storyboard, and how we are going to take the pictures for our teaser trailer. In addition, I will be making the decision where we are going to be filming our teaaser trailer and how its going to be filmed.
