Initially when taking on the role, I thought I knew what the job entailed, but after researching it further I have found that it is a lot more important and necessary than I previously thought. I think I got confused, assuming the role was somewhere between the actual description of the Assistant Director and Assistant TO the Director - assisting the director when they need help, but not being as loud. However now that I know exactly what to do, I am very interested to see how I cope with all the jobs and I think I'll find this very challenging due to the fact the AD seems to take a big role in communicating on set - something that I am not so good with but really aim to try and improve. I'm hoping that I'll learn a lot from being first AD and grow my confidence with speaking out more and expressing my opinions and advice in order to help the director and rest of crew.
