Day 2 and 3

Day two of the shoot was alot easier on me, I knew what I was doing more as was slipping more into the role of script supervisor than I had been on day one. I didn't need any help from Phil or such this time. I definitely felt alot more prepared for the day ahead.
It was a very packed day in terms of set ups and such, we got through alot of the script and made really good progress. Although Beau was becoming more and more restless as the day pushed ahead. I also felt the day wearing me down by around late afternoon. But I kept my self going as much as I could. With as much as I was slipping into the role of script supervisor I still knew this still wasn't my cup of tea, my memory just isn't there for continuity and having to be able to visualize shots in a short amount of time is a no go for me, my brain will just shut down under the set conditions. Will definitely need a camera for more continuity tomorrow, something I should have arranged sooner no-doubt.

I am not enforcing my script timing on the director as I think there is enough going on in terms of getting as much out of the kid actor as possible, me coming over telling them to re-shoot because they over-shot by a few seconds would do no one any good and was a choice of personal desecration. I did inform the producer who with myself informed the director, this is enough action on this as is needed in my view. Aslong as the information is out there for future shots.

Overall a better day than day-one for me, felt alot more comfortable in my role and got it done to a better standard.


Day Three

What a difference a day makes! or two! As much as I felt I progressed on day two, was nothing to how I felt today. Felt fully confident in my role, felt fully secure I knew what I was doing. Got my forms completed quickly before and after each shot and it all ran far more smoothly. The crew is working more and more like a well oiled machine!

I felt more able to give my input and work more with-in my role, I was not afraid to ask for continuity checks and was taking alot more photo's of the sets, which helped a TREAT! Didn't feel stressed one bit, I just got on with what I had to do. I also noticed I wasn't taking notes for the sake of taking notes, I noted down what was needed, this helped me alot in terms of time.

The whole day just felt far more relaxed, maybe because it was an early finish of 3:15. Having that in the back of your head does somewhat relax you. Not in anyway saying I want to get of set as fast as possible, but you know what I mean!

Overall a really good day on set, I felt I was actually doing my job to the best of my abilities and felt somewhat chuffed when I noticed a few items on the set had been moved and sorted it with-out even thinking about it. The whole crew did a brilliant job and no one got stressed and snapped at each other. Not that it happens! :)

Looking forward to wrapping and getting my hands on the edit!
