Production Reflection log 4

Summarise the duties that you performed in your role this week?

This week there was a lot to get done before the actual live day. My duties was to continue familiarising myself with the technology as this was a new job that i hadn't done before. But also as i had some spare time i was able to help out my team such as the set designer and the features producer with any filming or getting certain sets prepared on time. There was only limited times that i could really get to grips with what i would be using but i tried to make the most of my time and elp out any one else as i have had experience on sets before.

What has been successful this week?

This week the main success came with preparation and trail & error. There was a lot to get done and everyone really came together to not only prepare well but to all have some tricky run throughs but come back even stronger each time. Whilst we didn't stick completely to the scripts at times, we did come together to get everything finished and ready for the live day. With any production there will be some challenging times but they only made us better at our individual jobs and propel us well for the live day.

What do you need to change or develop and why?

There was not one particular thing that we needed to change or completely redo. I think that there was some confusion over the master script, running order and the presenters script, but with communication that was ironed out. In hindsight it was better for this to happen before the live day, because then we knew what the problems were and how we could overcome them so that the live day ran more smoothly.

How did you work with your team this week?

Working with my team this week was especially important, we all needed to communicate to make sure that everything was running on time and prepared well for the live day. I felt that i worked well with everyone because we all depended on each other to get our own individual jobs done well so thatwe could perform our own. This week became a real team effort it tested us as a class but we all pulled through and we showed great spirit to be ready to produce a great piece of work.

Production Meeting Reflection 3

Summarise the duties that you performed in your role this week?

This week i put together a video of all the transitions that i could possibly use during the live show. I then analysed each transition and decided which ones looked bad and what ones suited the themes of the show, to which we could use.

What has been successful this week?

This week we got the cameras set up and planned out how the set would look like. I particularly has success in using the equipment for my job and trying out each transition. I was able to find out what would be suitable and ultimately prepare my self better for the live day.

What do you need to change or develop and why?

I dont think there was a lot to change as it was clear which transitions would be useful to me and the show. I think that i would need to develop my skill in the use of equipment just so that during the live day i am very smooth in the transitions, which would make the show flow better.

What do you intend to do next week?

There is not a lot more for me to do in terms of preparation for the live day. I will be helping Franki with some of the pre-records and going to film with him. Equally ideally i would like to use the equipment again so that i can feel more comfortable and familiarise myself with it better.

How did you work with your team this week?

I worked with the Camera Operators largely as they was setting up the cameras which then allowed me to start using the different transitions and cutting across different cameras. I also worked with Stephen who was in charge of lighting as we needed to decided what looked best on camera.
