TW: My role in production

Role in production

  • Direction - I believe I gave direction and drive to the group; and ensured all our planned shots and sequence were achieved, as I read the synopsis as we progressed and instructed what should be happening in each shot. Jack's similar role of using the call sheet also, aided this.
  • Furthermore - along, of course, with other individuals - I gave precise direction to our actor. The fact all diegetic sound will be cut out meant we could instruct the antagonist as we filmed - a tactic which proved hugely useful.
  • Achieving continuity - I made a real effort to ensure continuity was achieved - by evaluating the previous shot and making sure in the next shot - often from a vastly different angle or closeness, was as similar as possible.
  • Inclusion of titles - I re-created a number of shots to allow inclusion of movement across the forefront of the screen; allowing inclusion of the titles (as movement comes across the screen.)
  • Set organisation - organising the set was a key way of achieving technical excellence, and I constructed the meticulous and organised workplace (pictured below.)

  • There were other features of set organisation also - to which we all contributed, together - we managed to transform the greenhouse:




















  • Filming - I played a key role in the majority of the most difficult shots - including the second shot (pan), the POV shot of the book (an idea which was created on set, and we all believed was executed proficiently), and aiding the dolly shot (which used a wheelbarrow, an idea we have used before and therefore implemented again.) I was a keen supporter of POV shots, which were implemented throughout and were very effective.
