Hello hello. My name is Heather Trojack, and I'm from Medina, Ohio. (I just tell everyone I'm from Cleveland or Akron though.) I'm a senior TCOM major in Production, as well as a Latin minor. I plan on graduating in May of 2009.
My role on "Free Wall" is Producer. Most people don't really know what a Producer does, and to be completely honest, I'm still learning as I go along. I've found that the most important thing for me to do is be extremely organized. In pre-production on this film, I've taken lots of notes, made plenty of spreadsheets and written lots of emails. I work most closely with the Asst. Producer, the Unit Production Manager, and the Assistant Director. We've drafted: a shooting schedule which is currently in the process of being revised, a budget to potentially get the film some funding, and "one-liners," brief summary of each scene being done each day. I'm also one of the main contact people for the crew members, and in the absence of our professors (the Executive Producers), I make decisions concerning the technical aspect of things.
The most recent thing the Production Core has worked on is our Production Office. We organized and put furniture in there so that once we get a final schedule, storyboards, packing lists, etc., we have somewhere to post them up so everyone on the crew can see them and find information easily. It's also a place to store equipment and go over daily itineraries before we leave for filming once production begins. I'm glad we have a space to use as we need to- it's helping this really feel like a film environment, in comparison to just a class where you make a short film.
