OCT / NOV 09 Lessons Learned and My Roles

The group had different Roles which contributed in different ways to the construction of the film.

Throughout the Production, I was joint Producer with Gus. On the day of shooting, I was the 'Stage Manager' which involved doing the Clapper Board and I was frequently checking our Shot List. I also acted in the film.

1. I should have emailed Chris Jury when Mike Johnston emailed the Producers asking them to email Chris. Why was their a delay? My emails had piled up and I simply forgot about Mike Johnston's email. Also I did not ask my team early enough whether I should email Chris Jury. On the other hand, my Director and the rest of the team never told me to email Chris Jury.

2. Actor Andy Creffield in Hungerford was interested in acting in our film. He did have a number of significant questions for us:

A. Where are the actors needed this Saturday and Sunday?
B. What do the actors need to wear?
C. Do the actors need to bring any props with them?
D. How long on Saturday and Sunday are the actors needed for?
E. How many actors are we using?
F. How many Male? How many Female?

Ciaran told me in response:

'the director should have that sorted. Check with her and see if she has a schedule sorted'. Neither the Director nor the team had sorted a fully detailed schedule before we met on Friday 13th November to collect the equipment.
