Training Wheels

I felt some what like I had jumped in at the deep end when we had our practical practice in the last workshop before filming weekend. I was a little unsure at first, slightly nervous but it was really productive and useful. I feel that because of this exercise I was able to get a feel of what my role during film production should be as stage manager and I think that all of the group benefited, as it helped us pull together as a team.

I didn't know what to expect, the class exercise gave me and the team an idea of what it would be like during filming, it felt really professional. It also made me realise just how organised I as stage manager needed to be. The class practice of course was different because we only got the shot list half an hour before filming and I didn't know how the shots were supposed to look, in so far as where the camera would be etc.
