3. During my 4 weeks in the Introduction to Digital Filmmaking class, I have learned the business set up of filmmaking and the steps to take in order to move forward with my career goals. I often envision my life after film school; thinking about the job offers, new places of residence, and reputation. These thoughts play out like scenarios in my head and they map out goals that I need to achieve. I consider this to be my commitment to success.
5. Imagine that it’s graduation and you have had a little under 3 years accelerated film experience. You would hope to land an off the bat directing job. However, within the 3 years, what if you thought about the job interest? You can freelance in different fields to get the experience to move up to Line producer or UPM. The book, Hollywood Drive, talks about the experience Lloyd Nelson gained before he became a script-supervisor.
14. Before excepting a job far from home, it would be wise to research, ask questions, and negotiate.
15. Hollywood Drive teaches us that we can ask for what we want. A production studio or person of importance would not bring you this far if you were not of importance.
17. Now that you know the job is in Los Angeles, California, as a freelancer on an episodic show, you start to map out a game plan.
18. Line Production • Learn to keep things on schedule • Be responsible for financial matters • Have keen people skills • Keep on Budget • Tend to cast and crew needs
19. Script Supervisor • match movement, dialogue, make up, wardrobe, hair etc. • times each scene while sitting next to director • run lines with actors • generates a daily report and a daily log
20. Director • Interprets a written book or script • Over sees all aspects of film and video production
22. You have started your new job and now your anxiety is kicking in. You begin to wonder if your knowledge is enough and if you made all the right moves.
23. It's ok, you were prepared for this and you were also taught to take risk. In the end, everything will work out. How do you expect for your career to move forward if you don't take risk. You should remember your game plan and goals. You should also perfect your craft; the more you learn, the higher you will climb in success.
