#20 My Cast and Crew

 As I am watching Super Bowl 59, I realized the amount of work it takes into putting on a production. This legendary event takes a team not only, the football teams, their coaches, the waterboys, but the team it takes to put food in the stands, who clean, who set up, and even those who paint the “CHIEFS” and “EAGLES” on the end goals. Most importantly, the team that really makes this event as well are the cameras!! THE MEDIA. Without them, there will be no way to view the Superbowl, or for people to be entertained, or even the ones in the actual stadium won’t be able to view the game properly, without cameras, or crew who deal with half the media, TVs, and technology, the Super Bowl, would not be –well SUPER


This transitions to how I will organize MY production, and who will be part of my cast & crew. 


What is a cast & Crew?

A cast and crew are the team behind a film/tv show production. A more detailed definition will be: “The term "cast" refers to the actors in a film, play, or show, who portray characters and deliver dialogue. In contrast, the "crew" consists of the group of people hired by a production company to handle the technical aspects of producing a film or motion picture, such as set design and filming. Thus, the cast is focused on performance, while the crew manages production logistics.” [Wikipedia~ yes I did use Wikipedia] There are the obvious ones, such as the actors, the directors, and the famous boom person. Although, a cast and crew also consist of producers, director of photography, costume designer, casting director, and a million editors. I mean when you really watch a film’s movie credits, the amount of people who put work into just –on average– 2-hour films are crazy work. 


Who is part of my cast & crew? 

Primarily, for my cast it will include myself, as the girlfriend, and my own boyfriend Francisco, playing himself basically. That concludes the cast, for the crew, aka behind the scenes, it will be a trusty phone leveler, my mother and my brother. Since I am working on this independently, at least without the help of my classmates, I will have to rely on my own family to help with the scenes I cannot film, making me the protagonist, director, cameraman, scriptwriter, I mean I am the next Tyler Perry basically. 


Instead of having someone work lights, to convey the realism of the video, natural lighting
