What qualities am I looking for in the new group members?

Upon completion of the Preliminary Task, I have to decide whom to form a group with in order to do the Main Task. The previous task has allowed me to analyse each member of the class, and realise their potential, which skills they posses, and how dedicated they will be to the task. It is vital that I pick the right people to work with, to ensure that a wide variety of ability is available in different areas. This will also allow each person within the group to be allocated a separate task, which they can work on singularly, increasing the efficiency and quality of our work, giving each of us a large quantity of time and control to work with in our specialised area. There will be three main roles required; Director, Editor and Actor.

Director - For the director, I am looking for a member with some experience of filming, knowing good camera techniques and angles, and can utilise tilts and pans. They must also be quite extrovert as they will be required to take control of the actors, making sure that the quality is good enough. This will allow others to focus upon their own roles in the group.

Editor - Without a good editor, even an excellently filmed and acted piece can fall to pieces. The editor needs the skill to be able to make each clip flow into the next, and make transitions seem natural. This is because editing is a huge part of the main task, and many marks could be lost without a good editor.

Actor - It is possible that I may need to use more than one actor, however as a general rule, they should be confident and willing to perform in front of a camera, without allowing any nerves to be portrayed. They must also be willing to work seamlessly with others, as the acting will not be a solo job, and relies quite heavily upon their ability to put aside differences and simply get the job done.
