OCT/ NOV 09 Preparations for the Nov 2010 Filming Weekend

We all decided to call our film 'Man without a Movie Camera'. Based on the Original sory, 'what would u do 4 a pair of shoes', by Pascha Hanaway.


4th November 2009

I emailed my Group because I was worried. I was getting totally confused about my specific responsibilities. The Pressure had mounted. I felt that their had been a lack of communication within my filming group!

We had not finalised the script so I did not know How many actors to get. I did not know for sure, what Props we needed to arrange to get. I did not know what the actors had to look like.

I strongly suggested that we should have met during the Thursday and Friday of that week with Mike Johnston.

I strongly felt that we were behind.

My Group responded:

'Don't know why you feel as if we are behind. The Script is done, if you could use Celtx you would have it, I will transfer it to word. I am doing the shot list as we speak. I will send it over with the script in a couple of hours'.

'Actors we need? Cameraman A. Director'

'The rest of the actors in the film can be made up by friends, as opposed to people:
Cameraman B, Actor (x2),Security Guard, 3-5 extras'.

'What are their descriptions? Descriptions don't matter. Male or Female, tall or small'.

'How long are they going to be needed for on the Saturday 14th Nov and Sunday 15th Nov that we are filming? As a producer you should compile our schedule from the shot list, so you can figure it out from that'.

'Please can I have our Final Prop/Location List? Gus is sorting locations (speaking with a car park at the moment) and props have been done'.

6th November

I emailed Chris Jury. He is one of the people in charge of the Drama Department at Bath Spa University. I asked him:

'We would like some actors please for our filming weekend: Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th November...I have attached our script...Chris, please can you get the actors to email us their phone numbers and their availability for the 14th and 15th November'.

7th November

I got a text from Christina who does acting at Bath Spa University. She was very interested in being in our film. She also asked me:

'Are you in need of female actors?'

9th November

Our Director was absent again.

My group and I made a practice film.

We followed a Shot List for a short film called: 'The Wrong Day'.
