This week we had to show the clip for we intend to remake
Initially, we had chosen a clip from the film 'In bruges' in which two gunmen are having an argument over a staircase while a woman is between them, frightened.
After discussion with our tutor, however, and due to our lack of planning on how to approach this scene, we have decided to change scenes, and we already have actors, a shot list and a location sorted out for the shoot.
The main reasons we chose not to film this scene was due to the location needed, as it would have been too difficult to find one with the right 'look' and which we could use the camera efficiently to get the needed shots.
After consulting out tutor, the class then had a talk from a production assistant who works on programs such as 'The Only Way is Essex'.
This was really interesting, as we learned a lot about the sorts of tasks and skills we will need to be successful and start out in the industry. I was pleased with the amount of things I could already do, being let down by the fact that I didn't recognise the function and name for the audio cable, which I now know is the one with the three prongs.
I was also interested to see a real call sheet, and hear the sort of things to be expected of a studio runner (the job most people on the course will get when/if we start out in the industry).
It was also nice to be able to speak with somebody who had started out at the bottom, like us, and worked their way up and now having a job on a well-established show which pretty much everybody knows about.
