Location Manager
It is important for location managers to work closely with the director so that they are able to fully understand the vision for the film. This helps a lot and make a big difference for the location manager to make decisions and chose locations. The Location manager would take pictures of the location they have chosen and then compile them into a storyboard. When the ideal location has been agreed on, Location managers then start negotiations over contracts and fees for the location and make all the necessary arrangements for filming to take place. Some of the tasks involve co-ordinating parking facilities, finding power sources, catering requirements and permission from the authorities to record in that location.
To be a Location manager you have to have strong creative and imaginative skills to visualise all the possible uses for the location they find. Also the location they chose has to match the directors requirements. The Location manager also has to have good organisational skills and the ability to negotiate are essential in order to gain permissions to film in the ideal locations as well as to remember and keep fees on budget. Administrational skills are very useful to have as well as location managers would have to draw up contracts and negotiating permissions with the local authorities. Communication skills are also required as well.
Stunt performer
A stunt performer is the person who preforms supervised stunts while usually being monitored by a stunt action co-ordinator on set who are responsible for stunts across all the filming units involved. Stunt performers sometimes carry out individual stunt sequences with out the director personal supervision of a stunt co-ordinator, provided that he or she is the only performer and that they have carried out all the necessary planning and prepared all risk assessments and other health and safety documentation.
Although their work on set or on location may last a short time compared to other workers, stunt performers must carry out a lot of precise and reliable research in order to perform stunts safely while duplicating as closely as possible the actors appearance and body language while in character.
To work as a stunt performer they must be 18 years old or over. Once they are accepted onto their JISC register they must work for at least 3 years as probationary members of the register and then an extra 2 years as an intermediate member before they can progress to full membership in which they are given the title of Stunt Action Co-ordinator.
Stunt performers must be able to communicate effectively in order to explain their actions and any possible repercussions to other members of the production team. They have to be adaptable, fast reacting to certain situations, take orders, and they also have to have really good research skills and have a general knowledge and understanding of the production process. A stunt performer also need strength and stamina as well as specific physical skills.
Camera operator
Camera operators usually start working at the end of pre-production. They work closely with the director of patography and are responsible for the 1st Assistant Camera, 2nd Assistant Camera and the Camera Trainee. After the Director and DoP have rehearsed and blocked the shots, the Camera Operator and DoP decide where to position the camera, and what lenses and supporting equipment to use.
