Today was production day. We all arrived at the studio
for 9am where we all set up and decided where we wanted which lights to go
where and where we wanted the sofa for the presenters to go. I and Amy worked
with the Production Assistant to get the timings of each of our segments of us
talking would last around and get the length of the each of the videotape items
because this would help us when filming to know how long we had left. We also
had to get the script into the autocue and everything set up for production.
At about 9:50am we started our first take of rehearsals
and recording this take we didn’t get all the way through we didn’t deliver the
lines as well as we possibly could and we was getting confused with cameras
moving and not shooting on the camera we agreed and the autocue was going a bit
quick. We tried again which it was very similar to this so we went and spoke to
the director and discussed a better arrangement. We had a few difficulties on
the way when things would stop working which caused a bit of arguments and
problems which delayed us quite a lot by the time all this had happened we
didn’t so much time left so we did a last take.
Our final take went quite good I thought I don’t think it
went as good as I would have hoped maybe we could have addressed the audience
better and it’d be more of a laugh. I and Amy was getting quite stressed
because of cameras not begin where we had discussed we had to but I think the
deliver went well because the autocue was going quite slow at one part I did
miss a line me and Amy were supposed to deliver and the same time. But all in
all I think we did a good job except for some technical difficulties but I
think as presenting we did a good well and said what needed to be said.
To improve next time I think I would like to be more out
there and having a great time so we was getting our audiences attention and if
we had some dialogue and few changes I think it’d of gone really well. But
because of the stress I think it nudged us from delivering it as well as we
possibly could have.
Today, I also helped out being in Sound Hounds I jumped
in being their production assistant which I basically using writing and
communicating skills to keep track of timings of each of the videotape items
and adverts and then let them know how long we have left. Also I had to try making
sure everything went okay.
They had a few problems as a few people were late from
printing of scripts and other paperwork that were needed. In the meantime rest
of group members were setting up the studio to make it ready for their show and
getting the lighting correcting.
When we read through the script they realised it was
right as it didn’t fit to the videos they had to see we had to go through the
script and change lots of paragraphs and words to make sure it made sense to
the videos we had and then some of the videos didn’t work which we then had to
change again to make sure it did work correctly then we had to input all of
this in the autocue.
I got a record of all the timings of the videos and each
section so I could give timings of how long we had left so I could let everyone
know and make sure we was always on time. I did a countdown from before we went
back to the studio. I also let the floor
manager know how long we had left of the whole two hour slot.
We did two proper recording all the way through which I
think they went quite successful and they did a real good job of it going
smoothly and going from one shot to another. We did another one just to make
sure it was good enough and because we had enough time in the time limit.
Overall, I think I did an alright job of making
everything go well and smoothly I tried to make everyone get on so we could
start filming. I did all the timings and wrote them down and let everyone know.
