Unit 22: A2: Pre Production Job roles

The Hangover Pre Production Job Roles:

Pre-production is a fundamental element of the whole production as it can be said to be the foundation or basis of a production. The roles within the pre-production team that people have are all significant for the production to develop and come up with a film/show which fulfils the needs and standards of the target audiene as well as the fact that each works and has its own function in order to ensure the end result is achieved.. The process before the production is a collaborative team effort and this is what makes film/television such an interesting industry as a whole, without every individual you wouldn’t get the end result aforementioned as each person has their own function which will further eminate as my discussion develops.

The pre-production roles in this film included the main body, the Director who was Todd Phillips from the Production company of Legendary Pictures. The directors role within pre-production is to control a film’s artistic and dramatic aspects. Has a key role in choosing the cast alongside the casting director, production design and creative aspects of filmmaking.

Next in line is the Producer who was both Todd Phillips and Daniel Goldberg , who's work would involve overseeing projects from conception to completion, also being involved with the marketing and distribution process. Producers work closely with directors and other production staff. There can often be more than one producer, the other producer for this production.


An Executive Producer will often oversee the work of the producer on behalf of the studio , the financiers or the distributors. They will also ensure the film is completed within time and budget and to the agreed artistic and technical standards.There are often more than one executive producer working together with the producer. The executive producers for The Hangover was Todd Phillips.


The Production Designer is responsible for the visual concept of the film. The production designer here was Bill Brezski. He would have needed to identify a design style for locations, graphics, props, lighting , camera angles and cost times. Whilst working closely with the Director and producer.

The Cast of a production are probably the most important part of the whole film making process, this is simply because without them you cannot practically do anything, even if you have equipment/props etc. The main actors in The Hangover, were ; Bradley Cooper, Ken Jeong, Heather Graham etc. Their role is to play the character in which they are acting as. Most successful actors/actresses will cast in blockbuster films.

The Cinematographer or in other words, the camera man/women, is in charge of the camera on a film set, depending on the camera they have they will try to achieve various shots,angles and movement in order to tell the story effectively. They work quite closely with the Director on set and will often be in conversation with the editor which is done here by Lawerence Sher.
