Production for ‘The Newsroom’ was a sort of fever dream for myself and the crew. We filmed over three days and it went very smoothly and efficiently. We planned each day in different shooting orders not following the scripted formula, we filmed the last part of the film last which was in the news studio which was filmed in Studio D of RMIT which was really cool to do. For my position, i decorated the set with a news wear atmosphere which involved the prop room where we acquired a big news desk with a Television below it and many other environmental changes. Along with the set, lighting was very fun to experiment with, the studio was very heavy with lights all around the ceiling, one on each corner in which we adjusted to discover what feeling we were going for each scene/shot. One challenge was definitely as it was the first day, i was not really used to having this much authority, of  course i took some time but then i got really used to this workplace, i was talking to the actors and was providing insight on what we can improve on, of course i messed up with costuming as one day i accidentally left it at home, thankfully, i don’t live far and ran back and forth and got back to the shoot on time for the actor. The other days also ran smoothly as we finished earlier hours than expected which worked for us to be more confident in the shots we wanted and the planning/break we could leverage with. Reflecting on my role as assistant director, i took charge of the clapper throughout the whole production which meant i was close to the set, observing and directing where the cast should go alongside Jaz. I remember a couple things that stuck with me which included day 2 in the kitchen scene, the script stated that Richard goes up to Sarah, i had an idea that to make her uncomfortable and fit the feeling of misogyny, he goes up to her and she backs off, implying a sort of sexual workplace with the men against women. Also for the final day, we needed b-roll footage for the flashback scenes of James’ death and i took the courage of holding the camera and thinking of any shots that could encourage uncomfortable settings in which i chose a Dutch angle which i was really proud of.
