In looking at past posts, I realized I never laid out what exactly an F3 is, the project that has and will be taking my attention and life for the next few months.
The F stands for Filmmaking. The F1 was our little digital short, the F2 the half day film exercise, and now the F3. Here’s a basic rundown:
- 6 Page Script
- 6:30 Minute Runtime plus 1 for Credits
- 2 Production Days of 12 hours plus 1 for lunch
- 2 Hours Overtime
- 1600 ft of film (about 44 minutes)
We have a full crew composing of first and second years. (1 is a first year position, 2 second year. Bold is what the Film School considers ATL)
- Director (2)
- Producer (2)
- Director of Photography (2)
- Production Designer (2)
- First Assistant Director (2)
- Second Assistant Director (1)
- Script Supervisor (1)
- First Assistant Camera (2)
- Second Assistant Camera (1)
- Key Grip (1)
- Gaffer (2)
- Best Boy Grip/Electric (1)
- Sound Mixer (2)
- Boom Operator (1)
For me, it’s three sets down, four to go.
