Hi folks,

Not sure if this is the correct forum to be asking this but I am working on a feature doc at the moment for a company that I am employed full time with. We are a three person outfit for which I joined about a year ago.

My duties for the film are as follows:

Shooting approximately 80% of the entire film

Organizing post production workflow, archiving, transcribing etc.

Will most likely edit 50% of the film at minimum.

I'm concerned how to approach my bosses on what sort of credit I deserve. I'm putting a lot of hard work and heart into this but am concerned that I will not be recognized to the degree I deserve. Just wanted to get some professional insight if possible. Thanks.
 
In my shop here are the credits you would receive:

Shooting approximately 80% of the entire film (listed as)

Cameraman(on top) or lead Cameraman

Organizing post production workflow, archiving, transcribing etc.

Assistant Editor

Will most likely edit 50% of the film at minimum

Editor(s) Alphabetical

You would most likely be listed as editor or assistant, not both. As far as approaching your bosses I would start the conversation by asking their policies on credit and go from there.

They might have a different opinion on what they think you deserve and its a very sensitive subject.
