The
highlight of the month of February for me was being on a film set with a friend
of mine named Drew. He is one of my brother’s best friends. Drew is a student
in Regent University studying Cinematography. He really enjoys films in
general, watching them and making them. He is very talented when it comes to
making films, so it’s really exiting to have the chance to work with him.
My job in helping in the making of his film
was 2nd AD (Second Assistant Director). That means I have to slate
the scenes that we are shooting. I write down the name of the scene, and the
take, which is which is the number of times we shot the scene. Whenever we are
not shooting a scene, we are setting up for one. There is a lot of food on the
set to eat, so you don’t get hungry.
We have finished filming all the shots for
the film, and Drew will be editing it for a while with some help from my brother
and some other people. It was a great experience to help make a film, and if
you get a chance to work on a film set, you should try it out.
