If Faced - Production Diary Day 9

Two in the funking morning and my "day" has finally ended. So I thought fuck it I'll update the blog. For the most part of the day I had a session with Beatrice the director of photography. Her house is also being used as the shoot location so we went over what sort of space we had and what areas we could use. The script calls for a two story house but we only have acces to a one story so we have to be very cunning with our camera angles and give the impression that theres more to the house then we're showing. So we got all the shots worked out which was nice and then headed to the production meeting that evening.

Full cast and crew production meeting went ahead in Bowes as planned. Really great stuff. I got to meet Gerry who plays the Dad and he's really great. I've been blessed with the cast I got. We had a few read throughs on the script and discussed some of it "finer" points. I gave the script a full re-write after that meeting. Some of the dialouge needed major touching up and the actors have been great with working that in. I've re-jigged a few scenes just to make it flow a wee bit better and have opened with an entirely new scene. And all this two days before we shoot. I'm such an arsehole of a director.

The production team are doing a great job as always. Paudie is really on top of things in the art department. I met Lynn Fletcher, the make up artist, tonight. We covered everything and I'm sure she's gonna do a great job. Jess is doing an amzing job as production manager. I really don't think I could be doing this without her.

And thats all joe. I really think I shuld get some sleep. It shall be a busy weekend. So until then, thanks for reading and may your bowel movements be painless.

Peace

Phil
