What does a gofer do on set?
Essentially, the gofer goes for this and goes for that. Anything required arranging on set can be the gofer’s responsibility. The real name for the position is production assistant, also known as a PA. If you are good at fetching coffee, copying screenplays and moving both crew and equipment to specific locations which might be [...]
Continue reading...Without the boom, the movie fails
Tuesday, April 17, 2012
Without the technically proficient boom operator, the movie will struggle to pass the real deal. When people’s voices drift in and out of the scene as they move across the stage, you know the boom operator wasn’t trained properly and the production team have failed to over-ride the problem in Foley. Boom operators work with [...]

For an actor, you live or die in your performance, by your ability to learn your lines. For a stage actor this means learning an entire performance. For the television or movie actor you only have to learn sufficient to get you through the day’s filming, with cue cards at hand for those with short [...]

Wednesday, December 9, 2009
I’ve been sent a copy of the movie screenplay. I now have to check and see if it’s legal to post it here. If it is, I will. If it isn’t, I won’t, but I might be able to let you know where it is available, unless, of course, I can’t. The law is the [...]

4 stars**** Patricia Highsmith wrote good quality thriller novels. Just go look at her Google listings and search out ‘The Talented Mr Ripley’, for example. However, it’s her first book, ‘Strangers on a Train’ that is on the best read list. It was made into a movie by Alfred Hitchcock and then a play that [...]

3 stars*** Much fun and entertainment arrives with this Disney movie. It’s suitable for (almost) all age ranges, which as we know, increases food sales at the cinema. Some young kids under 9 might get scared at a few anxiety driven points. The story is far-fetched and that doesn’t matter because they make it believable [...]

2 stars** I know that I appear to be the only person on the planet who didn’t like this movie. Actually, I know another, so there’s at least two of us. I thought this was going to be a comedy but I didn’t laugh once. I did snigger once, which is probably why I scored [...]

1 star* This movie is not the worst film of all time, but it tries so hard to be the worst one you could ever conceive, and it fails; there are worse ones. It’s not supposed to be a comedy at all, but any regular film watcher will be in fits at the alarming rate [...]
