Week 10 Reflection
Week 10 offered an opportunity to present our current work to a panel and peers. Despite missing the deadline to submit our script, we quickly printed copies for the panel. The table read was a positive experience, validating our humour through audience reactions. We received valuable feedback, such as merging our two-episode format into one short film, and making the method actor’s role clearer. However, due to time constraints and an imminent shooting schedule, we could only incorporate some suggestions. Thanks to the feedback we managed to go back to our work with a list of things to discuss and mull over in the back of our heads.
Finalising pre-production tasks was a hectic but productive endeavour. Booking the RMITV Studios, finalising the cast, and preparing all necessary resources like release forms, continuity sheets, and shot lists were completed. Creating a shooting schedule and call sheet ensured that we were well-prepared for filming. Because I was in charge of location scouting I was aware of the issue of having to deal with having no correspondence with the studio that supposedly would be able to schedule a booking for a studio with just a day’s notice.
On Friday, I along with Zach and Nia had to walk into the campus that morning to confront the studio leader in-person as a last resort. Lucas the studio leader only said I made one booking which was the one I sent Thursday the day before even though I sent one through a week and a bit ago. Andddd they also failed to properly respond to Bradley our studio leader as well as Nia who also sent one after i asked for help from the group to hit them with more booking forms.
