I was on set for Us Not Them this week, so that was my main focus, however I was also working on Hypervigilant and Waiting for Marcus doing posting.
Sára messaged me asking whether the graphic designers could make a matching post with the cast annoucement posts for a short bio for each actress, so I messaged them and asked, and attached the text we wanted within. They sent them over and I passed them on to Sára. We went back and forth making a few amendments such as spelling errors and names, but eventually we were happy with the post. I posted the first of the two cast announcements on Sunday afternoon and reposted it on our story.
This week I was on set for Us Not Them. Monday was supposed to be our first day of filming, however unfortunately, the ECA had a break in over the weekend, which delayed our filming as we couldn’t go in to collect equipment. Our producer, Hana, rescheduled the shoot day to Thursday morning, as we were shooting in the evening that day. We started shooting on Tuesday in a pub called The Old Bell Inn, and then had various different locations over the course of the week, such as a car park and an industrial warehouse. For this set I was a runner and was also doing stills photography/ getting social media content. On the first day I was mostly running errands and helping out wherever extra hands were needed. On Wednesday, Louis brought in his camera for me to do some more official stills photography, so I was taking photos of cast and crew behind the scenes. I was also helping with crowd control as we were in a public space, and helped get equipment to the location from where it was being stored in ECA. On Thursday for our morning shoot, we encountered some issues with permission for filming as someone reported us for filming. However the camera crew managed to find ways to shoot the final 2 shots in a way that didn’t go against these rules. Once again I was mainly doing stills photography and helping carry equipment to and from the ECA. Then we had a break for a few hours and came back together to the warehouse for the evening shoot. Our 1st AD, Maddie, wasn’t ablee to make it to this set, however she had the key for the equipment, so I picked up the keys from her before heading to the ECA to help transport equipment to the location. This was quite a long and cold shoot, so we did a few runs to the nearest grocery store to get snacks to keep morale high. The setup was very aesthetic so I took quite a few stills photos here to use for publicity. There was one more shoot day on Sunday however I wasn’t able to make it that day. I downloaded the photos I had taken from Louis’ camera onto my computer on Friday and then gave him back his camera to take some more stills on the final shoot day. Throughout this week I was also posting photos onto our instagram story regularly with which filming day we were on. I have attached a few of my stills photos from the shoot below, however will be properly going through them and colour grading them later.
For hyper vigilant, I spoke to Roisin and asked her whether she wanted me to post something on the instagram to keep it active and she said that she would. I sent her a couple of options of stills from on set and she chose the one she liked best. I edited it slightly to make the colours stand out a little more on people’s instagram feed, created a caption, and posted it on Saturday afternoon. I have attached it below. She also wanted me to post a story with the same photo promoting the indiegogo as there wasn’t long left on the campaign. I created a caption and sent it to Roisin who edited it slightly and sent it back to me. I then put that on top of the photo and added a link to the indiegogo page and posted it on our story. I also went through the behind the scenes photos I had taken on set on Hypervigilant and deleted duplicates/ worse photos, and then sent the good photos to our groupchat.
