Caroline O' Brien 1st Assistant Director

1. Caroline works as a 1st assistant director, he main duties are too read the script, find out the elements(actors, props, etc...) Also she had the responsibiliy of finding out what order the scenes will go in and help the director coordinate and communicate with the actors and various departments
2. When I asked Caroline how she got started in this business she stated that it was really by accident she was in telecommunication before she got involved in media but she lost her job in telecommunications and when visiting her family got cast as an extra in a movie then got a job as a PA and did alot of indie films starting out.
3. Answering the 3rd question she stated yes she's had to do that, but when doing so she had to explain that some of the expectations from the director were just unrealistic wither it be not enough crew or the budget will not allow for something to be done.
4. When asking what advice she would have to for someone trying to get started in business and she answer just to know what you want to and if you don't know how to do it don't be afraid to ask someone who know how to do it to teach you, she said people are flattered when you ask them to teach you something.
