On Saturday the 17th of November, I traveled up to Manchester to help a Level 5 shoot her film on mental health. It was an interesting and fun experience (Also a long one XD).
I picked up on a few things too, like if I use masking tape an label a ton of numbers on it, it makes it a lot easier and clearer to mark a scene (Also saves time).
Also I got to see a lot of new equipment that i'd want to use on future projects like the rig and lights. I will need to work out how to use them all as, especially with lighting is one of my weaker points and I want to learn how to set up a shot using lights.
I also got to see the dolly and track which i've used at college but this one is a bit different to set up but it's more or less of the same thing.
One big thing I noticed was how preparation can help out massively on a set. At time there was a lot of paperwork on set that allowed the crew to set up fast and efficiently. However I feel like things could have gone a lot fast if there was a floor plan with test shot so they knew exactly where they needed everything to go. If they took a full day just to test what they need, taking notes of lighting and camera placements things could have gone a whole lot faster and the cast wouldn't have been sitting around so long.
The experience of working on a film with level 5's was pretty fun and enjoyable and it really makes me want to shoot a film I'm planning for in the ideas generation unit.
Oh and I learnt one other thing.
The level 5's rule: You always have a pint at the end of a shoot, or you're doing it wrong! (As long as you won't miss the train in doing so)
