ACROSS THE POND
Across the Pond.
Today we started in the afternoon at 2pm. The original plan was to film at the Blakehay Theatre but Brendan and Javier wanted to film some script alterations outside in Landemann Circus first. The scene didn’t run as smoothly as everyone had hoped. A few technical issues occurred with the sound. (Although this was very annoying for everyone – it was really good to see how the problems were resolved because I had experienced sound problems in my own individual film.) Eventually all problems were sorted and we managed to get the shot Brendan was happy with.
We then all moved onto The Blakehay Theatre where the other actors were waiting. When we first arrived everyone got straight into their job roles – setting up sets, lighting, etc. I still had the role of Stills photographer. I found this to be a good role throughout my time on the project because I got to move around the different groups of people taking photos, by doing this I got to see what everyone’s job role entailed. I personally think that the Continuity role would be one of the hardest jobs because it’s your responsibility to ensure that everything and everyone is in the correct place. Whilst watching them handle continuity Sarah was constantly taking photographs of the set, scenes as they were acting just so she could remind herself.
This project has been a good opportunity for me to see what a real project requires I was actually quite surprised to see how many different job roles are actually required for a project other than just the basic ones like Production Assistant, Director, Camera Operator, Sound Operators, etc.
If I’m honest I don’t feel I would be best suited to working on a film set because I found the waiting around to be very boring. I like to be constantly busy, always having something to do, but the good thing that has come out of this project is I now know that and can start to focus my own career in a direction that’s best suited for me, which was one of my aims to get out of work experience.

4 x links, 3 x photos. only the 2 links to the Blakehay site work, same link x 2. The other 2 do not, same problem. 3 good photos. A good description.
I'm having trouble negotiating your site. Can you please organise all the blog entries by date order, not title? Thanks.

I have tested all the links and they all work for me. I'm not sure why they won't work for you. The Blakehay link goes to different parts of the Blakehay site.
The blogs are organised by date and title down the right-hand side of the blog page.
