What is a "Gaffers" job?
21 May 2024
Since I do a lot of gaffing and sound for Student films on location, I get a lot of questions asked.
One of them is: Do we need a gaffer for small production?
My answer is always yes If there are Lights involved. A gaffer is an essential part of the filming Crew.
If he (she) does their job well and you know the Gaffer’s duty, he can save you a lot of hassle and money.
Here is a quick list, of what gaffers can and should do for your production
Regardless of who gets hired, there are several attributes you should require from the gaffer.
- A thorough understanding of the script and my visual interpretation of the story.
– The capacity to enhance my vision with their own experiences.
– Knowledge of the latest lighting instruments and innovative techniques.
– Populating the electrical crew with creative, responsible and accountable
technicians.
– Be fiscally smart and ethical.
– Bring your “A” game every single day.
