Play Shoots

During over the week, my partner and i were struggling to get our play done as we did not have the suitable actors/actress into taking part of the shootings. Luckily, we've found actors who are interested to take part of the acting and things were beginning to settle as we've had everything organized for the shoot. Our shoot is shot within the school and out of the school which is based on a crime scene investigation.

As part of the shooting, it is important to have a contingency plan within the shooting to have everything organised. For instance, i would need a production manager which is going to be me to how i am going to produce a shooting of the play. This role would need me to inform the actors/actresses to wear costumes that is related to the play. For example, the play is about the crime investigation which will need actors to wear agent suits to match the play to make it look realistic to the audiences ideology of the play. In the play, i would need to provide weapons that are not real to which that it would hurt the actors but making it look more actionable with the play. This is important to produce as a role for our play to produce a master play as for my partner who is involved with the play.

A continuity manager is is important for the play as my partner, Adam, is directing the camera shot and recording how the actions of the actors/actress would match from the same area and spot at different point of view. this is important as when audiences view the play which they expect it to be creative but not a bold effect that would pu them off from viewing the play.

From the play, it was a difficult play to master as some of the actors weren't available at some shootings as it was expected to be shot on the arranged day and time which turned out a difficult way to shot the clip.Furthermore, me and my partner had delayed over the time of the shooting schedule to be expected to shot and finished. This had caused problems for our time constraints to master the play perfectly as it would have to speed up the acting of a play which could effect the quality of the acting and the art of the shots has been used.

Communicating with other actor/actress was hard as they had other lessons to study which did not filled in our expected requirements for shooting the play also some were ill that was unable to film and perform the acting that limited our chances of completing the film on time.

  1. Interesting stuff about the production roles; how are you going to solve your problems? And how are you going to make sure your final shoot runs more smoothly?
