During Week 6 we worked towards shooting a pilot or test episode.

For my group, Week 6 was a time for pre-production. During the first class of this week, we allocated production roles, cast our actors, sourced props and scouted for a location where we could film. The second class of the week was set aside for the technical crew to learn and familiarise themselves with the equipment we would be using on the day of production. During this time, the director, producer and first AD tweaked the script (with permission from the writers) in order for us to be able to film it all in the allocated time while still having a coherent narrative. Given that my group spent the entire week on pre-production, our decided time to film was during the mid-semester break – a convenient time for all of us because we would all be available for at least a whole day. Due to our thorough planning in Week 6, the day of filming went smoothly. We were all able to experience being on set as well as experience working with actors.
