MEDIA 4 – PRE-SHOOT – BLOG 15

Due to the one-in-a-hundred year storm, we weren’t able to use our original locations around the CBD or in Fitzroy. A well-covered carpark was chosen in Fitzroy for the shoot for Sunday, 3rd December.

Scheduled for Sunday 4th December at 4pm, the shoot was abruptly cancelled some hours before shooting as Willy Dynamo, our talent, had to cancel. So we rescheduled for Monday, 5th December at 4pm even though I made this clear I was not able to attend due to family commitments.
In any case, I did my best from afar organising props that had to be rebought. This was no great inconvenience as missing items were easy to source near the shoot.

Using the Call Sheet template below was useful, especially prompts like ‘Nearest Hospital’. I hadn’t thought of that. Also, sunrise and sunset times were important to add to help gauge how much Day Shooting Time we had left. It further provided those little memory jogs like taking extensions, who was responsible for what props, the order of the shoot, what scenes and locations to table.

Sean set the list for scenes and from what I can tell from the Call Sheet, it appears that we were only going to do the first half of the video which was where  Willy Dynamo is getting beaten up.
