Shooting Schedule

Hi,

There is another production, Blur, I am involved in and we have been auditioning these last two weekends for it and I have been busy. I do have some photographs coming up from the rehearsals, so look for those here.

I have completed a Shooting Schedule. On my shooting schedule I ordered the scenes first by location, then taking into account which actors we would be using, by actor. This gave me a chronographic view of any day for any location which I could use to schedule the shooting of the film.

With this film, I am expected to use 8 or 9 extras and there is no need to hold up 9 extras waiting to shoot 20 shots, for a 6 shot sequence with 2 actors in it.

When I found I have too many shots at one location, we split the shoot into a two-day shoot to make things easier for us on set.

It's funny. On the one hand, you have all of these charts and schedules and technologies and on the other the film is a work of art. Making a film is a real challenge, especially if it's of any length. The more you have to shoot, the more you have to plan, schedule and accomodate.

Now, I've got some wardrobe decisions to make and I need to discuss a lighting strategy with the DP. More rehearsals too. I like to get everyone ready to shoot before we even set a camera up.

Best,

Brad Ferrell
