The scene that I chose that was in movie clips was from “Waiting to Exhale”, which was when Bernadette burnt all of her husband’s clothes in the front yard after he made a statement that he was leaving her for another women which was white. This movie was based on the book written by Terry McMillian. In this movie there were a lot of people involved in this movie and some of them that was included are: Director: Forest Whitaker Production Designer: David Gropman Art director: Mar Fisichella
Forest Whitaker was the leader of this movie and his role as the director were to make it so that the tone of the movie was set. He is the one that is in charge of making sure that the actors remembers their lines correctly and also by making sure that the actors are properly portraying the characters that they are going to be in the film. The directors are also the ones that have the final say when a movie is filmed before present it out for viewing. He also is in charge of making the final choose to the film as well as the appearance if he wants. In “Waiting to Exhale”, David Gropman is responsible for making the script into something that you could visualize. The production designer may also make decisions about the colors to be used in the movie and so often he provides many important suggestions about the way things are arranged in the individual showing of the movie. The production designer works with different departments like: Engineering Marketing Sales
The production designers are the ones that get involved in the production design and/or the selections of many of the visual effects, lighting, props and set dressing. Marc Fisichella is the art director in the movie. In the movie his role is to support and follow through on the visual idea for the production as stated by the production designer and director.
