Film Shoot Day 1

Well, after the first day passing of the film shoot 'Little Clown' I have gotten over my fear of Script Supervisor, I'm not going to lie it isn't like WaW exciting to do, but it's a process I'm more than happy to do.

After Phil helping me out on the first few shots I was all set, I picked up how to fill the forms and such out so was a near painless process. I still had to get Benoit to repeat the time-codes about 5 times each as I just can't retain numbers all to well, or maybe it was the accent?

I did get into somewhat of a rhythm and was filling out the next shot forms with out even noticing I was doing it, Galena was also a real help, she was more than happy to help me out on what a shot was called and such. I did struggle alot with trying to time each scene, whilst tram lining whilst also looking at a shot in terms of continuity, I found myself dropping my watch whilst trying to pull out a new form and moving about different locations. But saying this, it was my first time doing it so It was never going to be perfect. I feel tomorrow will run alot more smoothly for me as I have reached the learning curve for being a script supervisor, and being that it isn't a job I will ever plan to move towards in a career manner, I don't feel as scared about it anymore.

In terms of continuity I didn't see any gapping mistakes or such, maybe I will think different when I get my hands on the rushes, but from what I've seen its all be really good, some nice shots and nice lighting effects.

Overall I found my job not exciting but I will never the less try my best at it, and do understand its all about getting new skills under your belt. At-least I can say I have been a script supervisor, even if I won't ever move towards it again. I found everyone on the team a professional and more than happy to communicate what was going on and such, a very well working team in my eyes.


Hmmm, what else to say? you've seen one form you've seen them all? true in the case of mines as its just the same one for every shot. But not wanting to sound like I'm complaining I do really enjoy looking at the monitor and visualizing in my head how it will all cut together.

But that's all I can really report from my end of the western front, No-doubt a new post for tomorrow!
