In looking at past posts, I realized I never laid out what exactly an F3 is, the project that has and will be taking my attention and life for the next few months.

The F stands for Filmmaking. The F1 was our little digital short, the F2 the half day film exercise, and now the F3. Here’s a basic rundown:

• 6 Page Script
• 6:30 Minute Runtime plus 1 for Credits
• 2 Production Days of 12 hours plus 1 for lunch
• 2 Hours Overtime
• 1600 ft of film (about 44 minutes)

We have a full crew composing of first and second years. (1 is a first year position, 2 second year. Bold is what the Film School considers ATL)

• Director (2)
• Producer (2)
  
• Director of Photography (2)
  
• Production Designer (2)
  
• First Assistant Director (2)
  
• Second Assistant Director (1)
• Script Supervisor (1)
• First Assistant Camera (2)
• Second Assistant Camera (1)
• Key Grip (1)
• Gaffer (2)
• Best Boy Grip/Electric (1)
• Sound Mixer (2)
• Boom Operator (1)

For me, it’s three sets down, four to go.
