had my first go at being an extra on a tv show yesterday, and am going back for a second helping today. it's for a kids show called 'scooter, secret agent' or something, and i'm going back there today for another four hour call. the show won't be screened till the middle of next year, and it's interesting being involved in a behind-the-scenes kind of way. i am part of a group of about eleven extras, and we are all playing a film crew. yesterday we all had to be there at 2.15pm, and our 'scene' wasn't shot till around 6. there was a lot of sitting around and drinking tea, and chatting with other extras. then toward the end of the day, someone remembered that they'd brought a ball with them so we kicked that around for a bit before being called in to film by the crew. then we were split into groups and told what to do, which for me was to stand with two other extras, looking concerned and mime being interviewed by a fake police officer. today, we're probably going to be playing the film crew, and we'll be 'filming' a video clip on the beach for a pop starlet. hope it isn't as chilly as it was yesterday!
