I am now the
producer in a group of 5. We had a talk on producers which is food as I didn’t
really know what a producer did. As the lecturer kept saying the producer is
boss. I feel production will be a great way to find out about all the different
jobs in film are, as I am supposed to oversee all of them.
As the
Producer I am aiming to coordinate people and in the meantime find out more
about the different roles. Organisation is one of my strong points most of the
time, but it is interesting to try to manage a whole group of people. After a
talk by Mike Knowles on Producing and finding out that time consuming bits for
this project (funding) dose not not apply this time as the BFI will be funding
and providing stuff this time.
We
discussed film ideas after a presentation on the History of Film. We ended up
deciding on a film about agoraphobia or a lack of confidence. Showing a simple
task from that point of view. We are making the film roughly 2 to three
minutes. If we get it to 2 minutes 20 seconds that would be great as we could
then submit it to Virgin Media Shorts, but we wont edit it to that length if
its not natural.
Everyone had
a lot of ideas which was good. I was scared that I would be in a un-opinionated
group which could lead to such troubles, such as not managing to get anything
done and having to drag every one along. The opinions were fine, if anything we
all had too many ideas so closing in on one idea was nearly impossible. We just
about managed though.
That’s good,
I can work with choosing ideas, not just pulling everyone.
