I undertook the role of Assistant Producer for both The Last of '34 & Clash of Class. Both films/teams required me to have similar responsibilities from each other.

 

For both films I had to help schedule all the meetings for everybody and keep a form of register to keep track of who attended which meetings, also I had to keep minutes of the meetings. I also had to create an agenda for the forthcoming meetings with my Producers and Production Managers so that we can keep on track with what we need to talk about per meeting.

​

Whilst working with the Production Manager I set up auditions for the characters of our film, I used websites such as StarNow and Mandy to put out an advert for the kind of actors we were looking for. Any responses we got I swiftly relayed to my Producer so that we could short list the actors we wanted to audition.

 

I was also the first point of contact with all the actors we had auditioned as I was the one meeting and greeting them at the reception of the University as well as showing them to the preassigned room we had for the auditions.

​

This Collaborative Project has taught me that making films, however short they may be takes a lot of careful preparation throughout the pre-production, production and post-production stages. It is also important that you have a great team to support you, and also a team that trust each other with the roles they have in the production. I learnt that if all those bases are covered then the the film will turn out as good as the team had hoped, possibly even better.
