Casting
To facilitate the growth of its members, The
Actors' Circle
comes together in partnership with Tygr Productions to create our own
work. Every six to eight weeks, we shoot a short film in one day. These
projects are film labs - a learning set where actors are able to ask
questions and test their skills.

Those members not cast function as Crew.
Actors who better understand the process of
film making;
therefore, become better actors.
Work a bit, Learn a lot!

Crew Descriptions
Producer:

In charge of the pot luck craft service.
-
Organize members that will be present
and make sure each brings something for pot luck: drinks,
snacks, and food for a lunch break.
- Organize a craft
service area.
- Contact on the day
of the shoot
-
Be available for anybody that needs to
call the set, as we will have people coming and going for different
shifts. Be ready to give lost people directions. Call if
somebody who is scheduled does not show up.
- Runs to store if we
need something we can’t live without.
Camera Assistant:
-
Keeps track of shot list.
-
Knows which shots have been completed
and which shots still need to get done.
-
Keeps a log of each shot, each take, and
time code for each take, and whether the take was good or bad.
- Will run the slate.
- Makes sure that
camera batteries are put on charger when switched out.
- Makes sure that new
tapes are labeled properly and match with the log.
Script Supervisor/Continuity:
-
In charge of the only script onset
-
Available if anybody has a question
about the script onset.
- Makes sure that no
lines are skipped during a take. Notify director of such AFTER cut.
- Will keep track of
all motion the actors make and when they make it for each take AND Make
sure that the actors match that motion for each take.
-
Take digital pictures so things can be
referenced and recreated exactly (digital camera provided).
i. Pictures
of each actor in wardrobe and make-up.
ii. Picture
of set after cut of each take
iii. Picture
of where each item begins that actors will move during scene
iv. Picture
of where each item is placed during scene, and how it is placed.
v.
Pictures of location/set.
Sound/Boom Operators:
-
Will hold/position the wireless mic to
pick up ambient sounds and dialogue.
- The mic is not a
professional shot gun, nor do we have a boom pole. It is an
omni directional wireless handheld, but it will work for our purposes.
- Listens through
headphones and lets the director know if the sound captured has good
levels, or if there was a sound that was not wanted during the take.
Grips:
-
Carries equipment.
-
Sets up lights and stands per direction by
director.
- Since we don’t have
professional grip equipment, sometimes will need to be creative and use
what is available to makeshift an additional stand, or to hook a light
someplace, or a flag, etc.
- Hold bounce cards or
reflectors or flags for lighting actors.
Make-up and Wardrobe:
-
Consult with the Director on Wardrobe and
Make-up
-
Wardrobe usually comes from actors'
closets. But may need to look for special items.
- Apply make-up prior
to shoot.
- Be available during
shoot to reapply make-up as necessary. Reapplied before
each take, after lunch break, etc. Make-up needs to MATCH what you did
originally for the entire shoot.
