A Day in the Life

Assistant Floor Manager

Time	Activity
06:00	Pick up actors, take to make up, wait around, get coffee
07:30	Drive to location
08:00	Meeting with Director and Producer changed shooting schedule, rewrites
08:30	Panic- get lots of props and people ready for the first shot
09:00	Shooting starts, get the right artists to the right place at the right time
10:00	With the 2nd AFM we reset the props that get moved during a take
12:30	Starts raining so we change shooting schedule. Break for lunch early (except food's not ready yet) have to keep cast and crew amused!
13:30	Drive artists to new location. Schedule now out of the window, at least we're staying to the script today.
15:30	Back to the first location, it went really well with the interiors during the rain.
16:30	Rehearse main scene with extras and horses and, yes, children (no wonder I'm going grey)
17:30	Finally shoot main scene after lots of adjustments.
18:30	Wrap! Stop and deliver artists back to base
19:15	Return to location to assist clearing props, washing up and fixing the gate that broke on location.
22:00	Crawl into the pub to unwind with my colleagues. I like shooting on location. It's a bit dull in the office during pre-productions
