Filming began with the above time code as we spent our first 30 seconds of filming recording bars and tone. As mentioned in previous post, I have made a spread sheet with columns reading roll #, page #, scene #, shot, ect. My role on set has been to record on paper everything that is record on tape. It took the entire day to really get a hang of this process. An interesting thing came up when we decided to record some extra shots of the interior bedroom walls (known as cover shots). Here, to avoid confusion, I labeled everything with an “X”. A new draft of the script came out the morning of filming so this added some confusion with me and the director in terms of renumbering scenes.
Obviously my job isn’t the flashiest, but that doesn’t make it any less important. I do think a good argument could be made that the offline editor needs his own “chair” during filming. I spend most of the shoot over the director’s shoulder anyway. As a side note, I am excited to see the designs for the crew shirts. This will also be my first film crew shirt so that also makes it cool.
