Analysis Of Producing A Six Supplied Line 180 Second Drama...

Individual Analysis For the assignment of producing a six supplied line 180-second drama short film I was tasked as the 1st Assistant director in our production ‘Hidden’. In my role analysis I shall be examining my role as 1st AD going into depth of preparation, research and contributions I made towards the short film. The main roles of the 1st AD is to creating a shooting schedule, working with the director to decide a shooting order, give directions to crew and actors and be aware of health and safety whilst on set. As the 1st AD I was the right hand person to the director, I had found out through basic research that my role required me to help decide a shooting order and how long each scene will take to film, creating a shooting†¦show more content†¦[1] The shooting schedule itself included all the necessary information needed to be organised and to hopefully keep on track, these were timings, scene number, night or day, location (Forest or House), short scene description, any props needed. The printed schedule allowed space underneath for any notes to be added if timings or schedules changed, this way I could alert the director of any required information. On day one we did fall behind by two hours but I had told the group before hand that I had schedule it so we could overrun by 2.5 hours if need be, even though we didn’t keep to schedule I still let the director and the crew know how behind on time we were, what scenes were coming up and progress reports of the day. With regards to lunch I checked with everyone on set for it to be pushed back a little to fit in the morning scenes, even though it’s annoying they were still happy that I had checked with them beforehand adding to the approachable aspects of my role. However when I found out we would be reshooting I should have created a second shooting schedule so we could keep organised on day two, doing this would allow the director to be certain on what shots needed to be re-filmed and if any audio needed to be captured. I did have notepad with some notes on shots but a shooting schedule would have been more ordered and precise so we could have been there for as little time as possible. Next time
