Continuing our previous Monday night session we Shaun, we have been split into 2 production teams with the aim of making a 10-20min short film. It is our job to source a script, actors and have it al ready to film by late February over in the studio at Paintworks.
We were pretty much left to decide our roles though both Shaun and Phil gave some guidance on what they thought we would all be best at. So this is the current line up of our team and their jobs:
- Carlina - Production Manager
- Me - Director
- Ant - AD, Editor
- Mike - DOP/Production design
- Keiran - 1st Sound man/Post sound/pre prodution help/Music
- Edem - Sound 2/editorial desicions/AD2
- James - Camera Operator/Music/locations
- Simon - Equipment co-ordinator/Something else!
The set up we have here was partially put into practice in the evening session where we took a basic shot of a woman being angry at a man and ended up building on all aspects including dialogue, camera angle/shot.
I found directing quite difficult as sometimes I knew what I wanted but not how to achieve this, however as Shaun pointed out to me several times, directors just need to know what they want, it's the crew's job to achieve it! So the problem solver in me will have to take a back seat and let the creative come through!
I am really looking forward to the project and hope we can find a good script soon as most of us tend to do documentarys so it will be good to get a good short film done this year to add to our showreels!
