Barking- Finally Filmed

Well my group and I filmed the Barking play today and it was a good experience working with professional actors.
At the start things started going wrong and we ended up being late on filming, but we soon turned it around when started filming scenes. As the Location Manager my role on set was just to make sure everyone was safe and perform the the tasks on the risk assessment sheet.

My second role was lighting which we didn't need expect in a few scenes, for example the fridge scene which needed light and green filters to make a spooky feel to it.
And there was some scenes which we needed to pretend it was night so bounced a light off the ceiling to make this feeling while the curtains was closed.

I was also the Runner even though I didn't originally plan to be, or thought was needed, I had to go buy flour for a prop in one our scenes.

All went well and looking forward to the final edits of our filming which will be really good.

Barking - More information

Ok as a location manager - my main role. I have been thinking of locations to use and thought we would use the same house as the Malac play, since not only is it a good location to set everything up, but we also don't need permission because the house belongs to group members.

Our Filming is mainly in a longue and kitchen which we both have in the house, and safe too with alot space to set lights/equipment.
Another good point is distence is right near the university so dont have waste a lot of time of our filming time and the actors important time.

But this is just a start, I will see if there's more better locations but till then I find the one we have so far very appropriate.

P.s we also found out our actors, whom are real actors not some beginner . This is very impressive and a good way for us to see how it will be like in the future to work with known actors.

Barking - Got our 1/3 play given to us

We have been set into 3 groups, and then given a random play from 3 choices.
The group i am in ended up with "Barking as its play mainly set in a horror/thriller way, located mainly in a kitchen and lounge.

We each decided on the roles we wanted and had no arguments since people didn't mind what they got, which was really good it getting this sorted quickly.
I decided I would be the location manager which consists of jobs with it such as health and safety+photographer+runner.

Since this would mainly be text based (not a on shooting role) and there was a lot of roles set out, some got to pick two (means more work but someone had to do it). I decided Iwould also be the Light assistant which is on shooting based role but not a lot of work since i would just be assisting the Light Manager.
So we all got even enough roles instead of someone having a lot of work while others have it easy, this why I suggested to take two.

Looking forward to our outcome hopefully a lot better then our Malac play.
