On Monday we were still in pre-production. The main thing we had to do is dress the set up for the next day and bring the kit and all the props in the office. Some of the props turned out to be more difficult to get than we thought (water cooler!) Eventually the set was ready by 5 pm.
Tuesday kicked off with no key for our office for about 15 minutes. Finally when we got it, the first thing to do was set the equipment for 9 cutaway shots to be made before the actors arrive at 1. Lighting was fine, at some point we used a tray to slide the camera on the floor, following Melissa's mail cart. Luckily, there were no problems at all with the actors. Everyone's behavior was professional.
The next day felt a bit longer because there were more shots to be made. Some of us were extras in a few scenes. For every scene, maybe we took shots from 4 different angles. It will be interesting to see the cut. At least there is enough footage to manipulate. And at the end of the production we had to pack everything and leave the premises. For 6 people it took 1 and a half hours to do it. What followed was finishing of the food we bought for the actors in halls.
On Thursday morning we returned the kit and all the props to the Academy.
Friday was a screening day, with the Bride of Frankenstein. As Adam said, very sad film. But lovely make up and special effects.
