The director of our 5 minute short film is Tamia
Mullaney-Downer. The job role of a director is
crucial in the filming process, due to the fact
they are the creative driving force in a films
production. The director over sees the entire
process, bringing it to life through every
moment. They have priority over the way things
are done when filming and are a fundamental
factor of the films outcome and primary success.
Taking all of this into consideration, Tamia must
be able to achieve the creation of a verisimilitude
through the four technical aspects, allowing the
audience to become immersed into the
experience and helping them understand the

The cinematographer of our 5 minute short film is Leila
Monfared. The role of the cinematographer is crucial in
encapsulating every single emotion of a character
through the execution of various shot types. In order to
create a verisimilitude, it is Leilas job to implement a
range of camera shots, aiding the audiences
understanding of the narrative and how the protagonists
and antagonists think and feel. As well as this, due to the
fact Leila is responsible for the outcome of every take,
she must have an advanced understanding on the
importance of certain devices, for example tripods, and
how equipment she uses affects the desired atmosphere
we would like to exemplify. An example of this is , if our
protagonist is running from a situation, Leila is aware that
using a go pro would be beneficial, in order for the shot
to be more realistic and easier for the actor to carry out.
EDITOR & SOUND
Zafir Choudhury is in charge of the editing and sound for our
production, which is again a crucial factor of the filming process,
that requires attention to detail and a creative eye. Zafir is in
charge of the fluidity from one shot to another and must piece the
shots taken by Leila to life. The editor is also in charge of the
diegetic and non diegetic sound implementations, and effectively
creates the atmosphere for the entire film. Our production has a
very tense story line, and incorporates a build up to a plot twist,
therefore Zafir must use music to foreshadow the traumatic plot
twist, without giving too much away to the audience. He must also
distinguish when he can use contrapuntal sound and sound that
parallels with the action. This is because contrapuntal sound could
be used to trick the audience into thinking that the atmosphere will
remain non disruptive, succumbing them to shock when the plot
twist occurs; however, the sound he uses still needs to be suitable
