First Experiences: Student Films and Being an Extra

Posted on May 3, 2008

Today I spent 9 1/2 hours being an Extra. Or as I like to refer to it, Background work.

This was for a SCC short student film. The name of the movie was Laced Up Stilettos. The Director/Studen was Chiara Montonati. And its something of a story involving two boxers (the fighters, not the dogs). This meant that as “Background” personnel I participated in a great deal of yelling and screaming. Thus my throat hurts.

Other than that I was able to observe the crew doing their thing, which was educational. I also was able to observe communication and how important the relationships (not personal, but you know, professional) are between all the crew members. In other words, how important strong communication, and filling your role.

I’m really tired right now, and I just realized I’m not being very interesting. So I’m going to sign out.
