Notes from PDP

Little Clown Production


Script Supervisor Notes

Today Abigail appointed me script supervisor for the ‘Little Clown’ Production, She went through the various sheets of paper I will need to complete on set, such as continuity report forms which will be part of the scene per page book and also the end of day production notes. Such as how much footage was shot against the estimated time from the script read through.

I found it all a tad over whelming as my memory isn’t my best asset, but it will be a new experience and will be interesting to see how the job works, just even to say I have done it.

Today Phil and me sat down and went through the script read through, basically timing each scene to get an estimate of how long we think the film will last. Was a tad difficult with out Charlotte being there. For example shots such as sun raze coming through the window, was a complete guess on how long she wanted it to last for. But it did give us a rough number for the film and I have been told she will sit down with us soon to get a better understanding on what she envisions the film to look like.

In the coming days/weeks I have to get together a scene per page book after the locked script is sent out.


Editors Notes

Not much to report on the western front apart from myself and Phil have sat down with the sound Op for the film and went through what we think it will need in terms of sound such as wild tracks and Foley sound effects. Was a productive meeting and I do have a better understanding of how the film will cut together.

Phil and myself are also scheduled to sit down with Charlotte in the coming days to look at the storyboard and work out if it will actually cut together. But from looking at the storyboard we have so far, it doesn’t look like this will be a problem. But will be necessary talk just encase she has envisioned something Phil and myself have not understood from the storyboard.

Also a side note, Phil is working on an animatic version of the storyboard to give us a visual reference with timing on how the film will look. This will be very useful to look at to see if certain shots cut together and if some are just too long.


Adam web Based series Tutorial

Today I had a sit down with Adam on the web-based series; just basically for him too see how far I have progressed the idea and how I am developing it. It went really well in my view; he seemed to like the concept and the idea as a whole. We discussed how to develope it further and what to do next in terms of taking it forward.

Overall a very productive tutorial and I have walked away feeling like I can take the idea in so many directions and make it a good little series.
