The MIL Framework in Structuring and Planning Media Production

I. Background Information for Learners

Media and information literacy learning will not be complete without having experienced what
it’s like to be a full-fledged media producer. This means you will get a hands-on experience
of making a media product from scratch.
This lesson covers the practical application of your media skills and your creativity.
This lesson is a practical one to see whether you could make your written concept into
a viable video production material. Remember to use the techniques you learned in Unit II
Lesson 2 Task 2 on audiovisual storytelling.
You will need to ask the assistance of your family members; namely your parents,
siblings or anyone who lives with you in your home. You will be the director, scriptwriter, and
producer. Assign other roles for each person in your household for a specific task to have a
clear job designation in the production. But that doesn’t mean each person is tied to one job.
Several members of your household could share one job designation or take turns learning
each job designation. Or you can work with your classmates online by assigning some task
that can be done even through a distance, just communicate with each other via messenger
chat, email, or video conferencing.
The job: If you are filming in the classroom, consider teams of no more than 5 students.
All the roles listed below can be shared by multiple students, thus making the learning more
well-rounded. Or, if you are making a film on your own, consider how you can combine the
following roles throughout the filmmaking process, and think about who can assist you when
you need help.

PRODUCER
This person is essentially the group leader and is responsible for managing the production
from start to finish. The producer develops the project from the initial idea, makes sure the
script is finalized, arranges the financing and manages the production team that makes the
film.
The producer also coordinates the filmmaking process to ensure that everyone
involved in the project is working on schedule and on budget. Without the producer at the
helm, films do not get made.

DIRECTOR
The director is primarily responsible for overseeing the shooting and assembly of a film. While
the director might be compared to a novel's author as a film's primary visionary, he or she
would not be able to make the film without the help of numerous other artists and technicians.
In fact, the notion of the director as an author is misleading because it assumes the
director, like an author, does everything. A director works at the center of film production but
is inextricably linked with dozens of other people who get the job done together.

SCREENWRITER
While the dialogue in a film may seem natural to the viewer, a writer carefully crafts it; however,
the screenwriter does far more than provide dialogue for the actors. He or she also shapes
the sequence of events in a film to ensure that one scene transitions to the next so that the
story will unfold logically and in an interesting way.
Like the producer, the screenwriter's role is generally overlooked by the movie-going public
yet is essential to the completion of any film. If there is no script, there is no movie.
PRODUCTION DESIGNER
Before one inch of film is shot, the production designer is the first artist to translate the script
into visual form. He or she creates a series of storyboards that serve as the film's first draft.
A storyboard is a series of sketches on panels that shows the visual progression of the
story from one scene to the next. Creating this sketch of the film on storyboards also ensures
the visual continuity of the film from start to finish. Storyboards serve as the director's visual
guide throughout the production and will be a template to follow during the editing process.
The one in-charge of looking for the clothes, things, and locations to be used in the
short film.

ART DIRECTOR
The art director is responsible for the film's settings: the buildings, landscapes and interiors
that provide the physical context for the characters. This person is responsible for acquiring
props, decorating sets and making the setting believable.

COSTUME DESIGNER
Costumes convey a great deal about the film's time period and the characters who wear them,
including their economic status, occupation and attitude toward themselves. Be sure to think
about how costuming can show something about the character visually.

CINEMATOGRAPHER
The director of photography, or DP, is responsible for capturing the script on film or video. The
DP must pay attention to lighting and the camera's technical capabilities.
When the director wants a shot to achieve certain visual or atmospheric qualities, the
DP achieves it through his or her choice of lighting, film stock and careful manipulation of the
camera. This craft is referred to as cinematography.
The one who operates the camera.

EDITOR
Shortly after shooting begins, the editor begins to organize the footage and arranges individual
shots into one continuous sequence. Even in a single scene, dozens of different shots must
be chosen and assembled from hundreds of feet of film. The editor's choices about which
shots to use, and the order in which to place them, have a profound effect on the appearance
of the final film.

ACTORS
Responsible for portraying the characters in a film, actors work closely with the director and
cinematographer. Considering an actor's role within this larger context also suggests that his
or her job is much more difficult than just appearing on the set and reciting lines.

MUSIC SUPERVISOR
Music has been an integral part of movies since cinema's earliest days in the 1890s. A piano
or organ player accompanied even the simplest silent films. The silent movie palaces of the
1920s were equipped with elaborate organs and orchestra pits to accommodate large groups
of live musicians. Today selecting just, the right music for the film will intensify the story for the
audience.

FILMING IN THE CLASSROOM

When everyone works together, the filmmaking process can be fun and simple. Using these
real production team roles will make the act of creating a film more authentic.
Assign your roles at the beginning of the project, and above all make sure you stick to
the producer's schedule. Depending on how long the film is going to be, plan that your project
time will be between 2 to 3 weeks long. Reserve your last week for your editing and post-
production.
Roles are not limited to these ones, but these are necessary ones you need for
production. Since the editor’s job doesn’t start until the postproduction stage, the editor can
help in the production stage as an all-around production assistant wherever help is needed.
Remember, film making is a team effort so work closely together, in harmony.
