The 411

Today I had my first interaction with the film crew. The group was slightly smaller than I expected, but this point proves that you need a diary free of appointments. Commitment is key! I've come in on the beginning of the third week, so I'm a bit lost amongst the talk on what's happening next when I'm not sure what the film is even going to be about.

Luckily I the had the group (Steve, Josh and Conner) to get me up to speed. The message of the film conveys one of global warming and how it will catch up with us if we don't sit up, pay attention and change our ways. Even if it is the little tiny touches like walking to the local shop rather than taking the gas guzzling car.

The atmosphere was relaxed, but productive. In previous weeks the film crew have undergone various workshops such as learning how to work with the technical equipment, storyboarding and script writing development. Other exciting tasks carried out by the budding film makers include location scouting and cast calling.

Today I listened to script ideas and camera shots being bounced across the coffee table. I couldn't help myself getting involved too! Even a hint of a possible love story was discussed with witty humour and jokes following. Well you work hard, you play hard! Ha ha!

I'm excited with what is happening as it is all real! And I can't wait for tomorrow!

So till next time watch this space!
