The Production GuideScript To Screen: The Seance Spectre
by Martin Willey
The Production Guide
This is a daily report, compiled by Donald Toms. It shows how much progress was made against the shooting schedule. Just 6 of the 19 shots due to be filmed (listed on the call sheet) were actually completed; the episode was starting to fall behind. Filming finished at 5.20 with a total of 4 minutes, 26 seconds of footage shot. The report carefully records how much film and sound tape was used and wasted, and how many stills photographs were taken (one colour and one black and white). The cost of the hair dresser and extras are also recorded.
