A Day In The Life... Of A Second Assistant Director

Monday 5 April
Extras! Extras! Read all about it!

I'm also in charge of the extras - booking and telling them what to do. You’ll find me at my busiest when we've got extras in because I'm trying to tell them what to do and make it look busy for the director or empty for the director, depending on what they want to do. Handling extras can sometimes be the most difficult part of the day. Last week we had 30 kids in... that was fun!
