I really looked forward to the pitch film
screenings. I wanted to see the other films and compare them to ours to see if
we actually did a good job or if I imagined all of it. But what I really wanted
to know was whether I had gotten the role or not.
The film which stood out the most for me was
'Something Blue' mainly because Joe's little brother is adorable but also
because it well edited and looked nicer than the others (I'm a fan of blue).
Next would be Peter's film as it had a very interesting storyline although it
did feel dull at times. I think our film was the best, I'm not even being big
headed it's just a fact. I feel like we worked harder than any other group and
therefore deserve that victory.
So after the break we came back to find out if we
had gotten our roles or not. I remember feeling quite scared. My heart was
pumping very hard and I didn't even want to look at the screen. I was sat next to McDonald and I
had to hold his hand because he was shaking so much. I think I was more
devastated than him when he didn't get director. I even cried for him so he
wouldn't have to. At that point, I thought it was an insult to make him a
clapper but thinking about it now, he might actually have one of the best
roles. He gets to be on set everyday an enjoy the shoot without any creative or
organizational worries. He might be lucky.
I was extremely happy for my peers who had gotten
the roles they wanted. I was so proud so
Santa, I knew how hard she had worked on the film even though the end product
didn't fully show it because of editing issues. I was also happy for Webster, I
really wanted them both to get the roles.
I almost screamed out when Hannah's name came before
mine. I was going a bit a crazy…I didn't why her name was there when she had
been a producer for the pitch film. I honestly thought I hadn't got it until my
name came up. I was in shock for a few seconds and then I became extremely
happy. Euphoric almost. I couldn't stop grinning. Then we saw what units we
were in and I was over the moon. I had most of my closest friends in my unit
but not my best friend which was a great thing. I don't think me and Santa
would be able to work together on a project like feature with our roles. We
would constantly clash and fight.
I can't believe it. Hard work actually does pay off.
I'm sooo proud of myself and the other members of CineCitta for getting the
roles we wanted. I have never been this
excited about work before. Now that I've been given the chance, I'll have a lot
to prove and I'm ready. If I could stay as happy as I was when I found out I
had gotten AD forever, I would never ask for anything else again.
SCRIPT
My first impression of the feature script is not a
good one. I haven't read it throughout yet but what I've read so far is enough.
I don't think it's good, mainly because it's supposed to be a rom/com but I
didn't even crack a smile while reading the first few pages. They all just
seemed like cheap jokes. Penis drawing on his face…Really ? But regardless of my opinion, I'm still
willing to make (we don't really have a choice do we). I just hope the
directors can bring out 'the funny' in it.
IMDB
Our pitch film is on IMDB I didn't think I'd get my name on there this soon.
