Hi all,

Filmers:

I have attached a log sheet for everyone who is filming a play for DDF – it is really important for you to log any time that you think would be a good shot for creating the clips for the awards. This will make editing way easier as the editor can simply go to the time you have written down and use that shot to make the highlights clip.

Every play would like a copy of it on a DVD, so make sure you get everything filmed. The tapes are only an hour long so if the play is going to go over that please make sure you change the tape before it completely runs out – i.e. in the last four minutes, change the tape when there is a break in the action.

If you will only have one camera then don’t zoom in too much unless you are sure that the action will be focussed on one location for a while.

Editors:

On the side of the log sheet there is a list of possible awards each performance could get. You will be able to discount some immediately (for example, if you are filming a play, it would not be considered for best musical number), but keep these in mind when you are filming.

Each clip of highlights will need to be one minute long with several shots of the play. This will result in, for the majority of the performances, 3 clips:

1) A set of shots of the main actor (Could apply to Best Actor)

2) A set of shots of the main actress (Could apply to Best Actress)

3) A set of shots of the play as a whole (Could apply to Best Director, Best Play/Musical Number, People’s Choice Award, Best New Writing)

For the sake of convenience we will not be including sound, so make sure youdelete all audio before exporting. Please try to get the clips finished for the next day, if possible (this is necessary for people filming on Friday, and people on Saturday will need to be editing it during the evening).

I have also attached a copy of the filming schedule so please double check that you know when you are down to film.

Thank you – any questions let me know!
