day 21 - jack is wrapped

This day was my last day of filming. I felt excited and upset because I would miss the crew and the cast but I was also happy and excited because I would get twelve hours sleep regularly again.

After the last take was finished on this day I was wrapped for the rest of this movie. Then the director came up to me and said "Thank you Jack for all your hard work and effort put into this film". Everybody started to clap. I felt happy, relieved and proud.

Over the whole time I have been on this film I have enjoyed every moment and I have learnt a lot about what some of the crew do and I have gained more experience about acting.

There is still so much I could have written on my blog - there are many crew members I have not interviewed for you and me. Some of them are...
- camera man
- director
- producer
- stand-by props
- make-up
- wardrobe
- lighting
- line producer
- producers assistant
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd AD (assistant director)
- sound recording
- grips and more

Thank you for reading my blog.

day 20 - second last day

On my second last day I filmed two scenes in a house. The tricky thing about filming in a house is that you have a limited amount of space. This makes it hard to fit all the equipment and the crew in.

After the first scene was finished my Grandma (my Dad's Mum) arrived. She had never been on set before so she found it very exciting and interesting. Having my Grandma on set was exciting for me because I could show her around my green room and show her all the equipment they use in the film. It was also great that she got to see me acting.

We started filming the second scene around 5:30 pm. I finished at 8:15 pm. It took over two hours to film this scene but this scene will go for only about one minute in the movie.
