Recently I acted as a producer for the first time on a film directed by someone else. It was a lot of fun. My team members "A48" and I participated in the 48 Hours Film Festival: about 500 teams across the country were given genres and key elements on Friday evening to make and upload a finished film to the portal by Sunday evening. We called the film "Scrambled". We had 48 hours to create the story, shoot and edit. This was our first experience and we completed everything on time. We divided the roles and I concentrated more on producing and organisational work, developed and discussed in detail with the team members the workflow, timing and roles of each. While another team member concentrated more on the creative part: working with actors, and filming on different cameras. It's a great division. Three years ago, when making the film "Relocation", I combined the roles of director and producer. It is quite difficult to combine producing on set and as a director. It's just a different state of mind, two different task categories. I also recorded sound much more professionally this time than I did three years ago. I had good lavalier microphones this time, I used a special mounting technique to avoid clothing noise, and I monitored the sound in the headphones. I recently bought a wonderful boom mic, but I didn't need it - another time. A lot of fun was the three-step roll call - what you would hear like "Action!", "Cut!", but we had three lists of special phrases for scenes, shots and takes, all with special functions. I wrote out these three lists and monitored the roll call. I was also responsible for documents, Health & Safety. The next day after the shooting weekend, as usual, I wrote a report on my work and shared it with the team. It was a lot of fun to help with the second camera and a little bit with production design. On Sunday I edited the film. Such a huge break. And it was a lot of fun. I'm already thinking about starting to prepare a new film #48hoursnz #A48 #filmmaking
