role for project 3

for the music video/commercial project, i was assigned to be the producer. which i guess makes me the 1st AD and UPM too...

so, as far as using this blog to talk about my ideas for my role...

well, i'm the producer... soo... i guess i'm gonna produce the damn thing!

thus far, i've collected contact information from the entire group and sent it out to everyone so we were all on the same page as far as being able to get in touch with each other. i've also tried to schedule times to meet in order to brainstorm and start planning out our ideas.

i suppose that i will be the one creating the shooting schedule, tracking our progress and comparing it to our proposed schedule, and making sure that all people involved on set (including crew members and cast - the band, whoever our subject is, etc..) are clear on their purposes and that they are following through with them. keep the peace!

i will also be keeping a detailed camera and sound log on set (although at this point, i'm not exactly clear what it is i'm supposed to log, beyond the takes we do). i will also be the one in charge of making sure that we are clear to film (have permits, etc.) for when and where we are going to shoot, as well as taking care of logistics such as making sure people have transportation, have checked out the necessary equipment, and that everybody knows where to be and when to be there.

anything else?

nope, sounds like a plan. and to those use to having a plan that makes sense...but believe me...for some, just making a clear plan is overwhelming. sounds like you have it down though! yay!

also, on the camera and sound logs write down anything that will make editing easier. write down things that may be forgotten between the time of the shoot and the time in the lab. id also make notes about any special effects that were used (over cranking, undercranking, single frame, intervelometer use...etc...). and, if you ever forget to set the correct daylight/outdoors setting...note that stuff too. basically, anything that will help you in post!
