During the planning and the day of our class performance I was responsible for the props. Firstly I had to watch the music video and write a list of what props were needed at what times. I then emailed teachers in order to find out if the class could use props such as hula hoops and books. I also asked around the class for people to bring in other equipment such as the guitar and amp.
Along with another class member I placed the correct props in the right place, the first props I had to set up were in the locker for the very first shot. I was also responsible for making sure the props were available at the right time so they could be used by those performing. I made sure the props were put back where they were found after they had been used.
- I learnt that the role of prop manager is very important because if there isn't the appropriate props at the time needed then filming is halted due to lack of props.
- Having the props on hand and ready helps the filming to flow, the people taking part in filming do not have to wait on set while props are found.
I was also one of the dancers and I found it is important to be around and close to set at all times in case I was needed. It was also essential to remember the dance which will make the performance look professional and it also take less times to film when the cast remembers the dance steps.
