Time to Make Some Movies!

Before you shoot today:

1st AD: Create Call Sheets for Today and next class period. Must be complete!

Director: Give me a copy of the final shooting script.

DP: I'm assigning you and your Camera Handler permanent cameras & tripods. The numbers for your equipment should go on the Call Sheet and inside cover of your 1st AD's folder. You are responsible for the condition of this equipment from now until the end of the semester.

Set/Props: Head over with your PA and Sound to set up the room.

Makeup: Start slappin foundation on those pretty faces!

Talent: Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse!!! You should have your script in front of you at all times, right up until shooting.

Key Grip/Gaffer: Demo in cafeteria--flags and stops. This will help you control light in your shoot, and eliminate harsh shadows. 1st 15 minutes of class with Ms. T

It's GO Time!!! Last dry run...

Excepting 1st and 3rd pds, everyone will immediately get equipment, gear, props, wardrobe, makeup, 1st AD folder, scripts, and brains and head onto your set.

You're going to be TIMED today, for setup and breakdown, and your ability to be ready to film a 30-second scene and follow proper call/response procedure during today's class.

We'll stop early (after 30 minutes) so that teams can FIX their folders and IMPROVE their team grades.

This is the final preparation stage for next week--Days 10 through 15 (filming) begin Monday.

It's what you've worked hard to be ready for; so let's make some movies!!!!

Checking for Continuity

See how many mistakes you can spot!

Day 8, PLUS!

Many of you never turned in a script, which will have a negative effect on your grade. If you just need to print it, do so NOW and turn in to the black basket on my desk.

Propsmaster: Collect props and update list.

Makeup: Organize materials and start practicing.

Talent: Read and rehearse final script.

1st AD: Organize & label folder materials; start Call Sheet (digital copy). Make sure final storyboard and script are in folder & ready to copy.

Director: Gather crew (DP, CH, Grip, Gaffer, Sound) and review final storyboard. Refer to notes on "Day 8" of production schedule. Begin rehearsals.

ALL: Review shooting protocols in a mock shoot with Ms. T.
