Fortunately, the ITV programme 'Marcella' was being filmed in front of our school and we were able to grab a few minutes to talk to the line producer.
What I learnt from this:
To produce a low budget film, there are many free sources we can use. For example, using YouTube to publish the film for free and free editing apps like Final Cut Pro Trail version or Final Cut Pro X. We should ask for "favours" from others to help us and to plan well for our final product.Communication and networking is key.
The role of a line producer includes controlling that the right amount of money is spent in the right places and that everything should be set in place - in summary, he has to ensure that everything is perfect, even for the director.
To film in public, we should put signs up or just let people know that we are filming so they do not disturb or walk through the production.
How will I implement this into my production process?
We can use YouTube to publish our final horror film or preliminary task. We can also use the idea of asking people for favours, for example, as we are on a low budget, we can ask the school if they will allow us to borrow some equipment to record our products, such as a tripod and mic.
I can ensure that I can play the role of the line producer as I will have to make sure everything is in place and ready for us to film.
If we have to filming a public location for our horror movie, we must make sure that the public are aware of this. This is crucial especially for the type of genre we are producing the film in, which is horror. So if for example we film someone being stabbed, we have to make sure that there are no children around and that people of the public know that it is not real.
