Lighting Adviser Needed for Teen Comedy Drama Pilot Episode Shoot Days

I am looking for someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to lighting to help on shoot days for a pilot episode for a new teen comedy drama.

This brand new 20 minute pilot tells the story of awkward 15 year old Masie’s life. Masie’s life gets  turned upside down as over the summer holidays her parents decide to break up and her dad moves out leaving her and her boisterous 8 year brother, Tom at home with their mum, Laura. Now shes going into year 10 with her BFF’s Cassie and Gemma, and she has a whole new set of dramas to deal with. It’s their back to school disco at the end of the week and Maisie hasn’t got a date. It’s alright for Cas, who has boys falling at her feet begging to take her to the disco and Gemma with her long term boyfriend, but Masie just has to find one. Luckily she has her boy best friend Rob to walk home with and tell him all about her problems. She can’t see how much Rob would love to take her to the disco and spys new sixth form hottie, Jack. The 3 girls obsess over Jack at school and one day they go to Cass’s to plan their outfits, when Jack walks in with Cass’s older brother Joe! Meanwhile whilst his is all going on Mums stared to date again, and Maisie can’t work out why her hot new history teacher is being so nice to her…

On previous projects we have found it hard to create a mood in the scene as we were on sure on how to use lighting. As this is our last project at uni we want everything to be perfect.

We need someone who can attend all shoot days to set up lights and create the mood in the scene as well as advising the director on where to position actors to get the best lighting.

You will need to be enthusiastic about the project and have experience in using lighting to set the mood as well as being passionate about what you do.

We would be shooting for 2-3 days sometime in the last 2/3 weeks of October in the Kent area.

We want the episode to be light hearted, young, fun, bright and modern if you think this is something you can achieve please comment below or email me at hennieclough@hotmail.co.uk.

If you have any equipment you think would be beneficial to this project please let me know when applying.
