Day 13: Check Yo'Self!

Day 12's Call Sheets will be handed back. Review any comments with team.

Each team should include on the Call Sheet which scene will be filmed that day. 1st A.D.'s can modify today's Call Sheet by hand, but will need to include this info in a digital copy from now on.

Remember, you're still being held to a higher standard; work accordingly.

FRIDAY we'll complete CNM Applications while teammates are downloading footage; we'll also have your 2nd production meeting.

Day 12

Remember, expectations have been raised, and grading criteria are getting stricter. You've had a week to practice, work out the "bugs", and improve your job performance. No more mistakes!

Today:

1. Each team will share with the class the strategies they've developed for safe, successful shoots. Written team strategy must be in front pocket of 1st AD's folder.

2. We'll review the Calendar for a quick "reality check" on how many days of production your team has left.

3. I'm instituting Equipment Checks at the end of every production day. Be prepared upon return to show me all of your equipment before putting it away.

4. Return no later than 8:50.

FT Forms DUE

Turn in your UNM Field Trip Form today. Trip details forthcoming.

Friday

Today's Agenda:

1. Begin downloading your footage.

2. Check the portable hard drive to see if your commercial and silent film have been uploaded; if not, do so immediately.

3. Teams will bring pencil and paper out to the cafeteria for a production meeting.

Furniture in Shooting Rooms; Missing Items

All,

I got an email today from Ms. Cisneros regarding use of open classrooms; if you must move furniture, DO NOT DRAG IT across the floor. This leaves marks on the floor and damages the surface.

Also, a number of items have gone missing from the makeup kits; please help keep an eye on this inventory, as we can't afford to replace what's "walked away". Thanks for your help.

Field Trip Form

Make sure you got a Medical form for our UNM Field Trip, and that you're getting BOTH sides filled out and signed by your parent/guardian. Turn it in as soon as possible; forms are due NO LATER THAN MONDAY APRIL 26TH!!!!

Only those Film Academy students who turn in forms on time will be allowed to attend.
