Live Day Reflection

Summarise your role:

I am the video operator that operates camera one and my partner Amrit he operates camera two and three. we both have to film the whole production of the live day and make sure it is precise and accurate aldo interesting for the audience to enjoy with a range and variety of angles, zooms etc...

What difficulties did you have:
I had difficulties in not talking at all as I was mostly trying to talk to amrit by not using the headsets and using hand communications, this would confuse the presenters and everyone else also if Amrit might missunderstood my message im trying to get across he could do something else with the camera which would not have a good affect.

What solutions did you find for these problems:
I got use to using the headphones and communicating through that as he would hear what i am sayin clearly also the director would be able to know what we are doing as he would be able to hear us too.

What skills do you think you have gained:
I have gained a range of skills that would help in the future if we have more productions like this. For example I restricted my self to only one type of angle on the presenters however Mr.Philipson had told me about the 3rd degree anlge rule also amrit had shown me some shows and how they use the camera. this helped alot as i had taken it into consideration and put it into action.

What advice would you give someone who is about to undertake you role in a live studio show:
well i would personally say just dont be scared or nervous as it isnt as nerv racking as being the director or the presenters also use as many different type of angles you can however make sure the director is ok with it and also use it when the director tells you or either when you think it is an appropriate time.

How could you expand your role if you did a studio show again:
I would fit into probably being the floor manager also being the video operator as I would be able to handle both jobs, also i would mostly enjoy it.

Production meeting reflection 4

This week me and my partner amrit have both doen the Tyra intewrview with the whole cast after school. I think it went well as everyone was organized and on time for the recording.
it was a good experience as it was a practise for a our live day too also a practise for what to do when it comes down to the real thing.
we also completed the cmaera script we had to do for the end of thiws week as aron had to put it all together because the whole case needs it to know when the que is for everything and what is going to happen.
The interview and our job for the cmaera script has been successfull as they have both been completed however the sound on the interview was not right as we had been informed so we have to re-do the interview again however not on the liuve day we can still do it after the live day
Insteasd of having Tyra in the studio with us on live day as she had exams we jus had her as a pre recorded interview to add into the show.


working with everyone was great as it was successfull everyone had cleart communication as we had our headphones on and everyone kept a note on what was going on around them also i dont think everyone is up to professional standard however evberyone is gettin there and i think we will all work really good together as a team for the live day. next week we are going to to rehearsaals in our lesson to praqctise for live day so that would be really helpfull for all of us to keep practising and me and amrit can practisae on different camera angels too.

VT with Tyra

We have another job to do, this week our task is to do make a Vt. in the Vt. we have to interview the 'celebrity' Tyra. We asked the music department when we could use one of their practice rooms and we have a good chance of filming tomorrow lunch with the presenters however we still have to see if Tyra is free but we think she might be as it is free time.

the set is going to be eactly hwo it is on the live day so it looks like she has already cam ein and interviewed herself as she may be busy on the actual live day.
 this wil be a great beneficial time for us as we can also rehearse more for he live day and get better and build a stronger confidence for the actual day.

the floor manager has given a diagra of how everything is going to look like for this interview:

we will need the whole crew to make this work as the vision mixer needs to be there and listen to the director about what shots and angles he wants and when he wants them chnaged also the sound mixer so that everything can be heard clearly and correctly.
the floor manager will have to work with us very closely as in the interview he need to tel the presnter and celebrity where to look also at the end of the interview tyra has to giva a shout out and at this point we have to be ready at what camera she wil be looking at and also the floor manager has to tel her were to look and to see if we are ready and in position.

Production Meeting Reflection - 3

Summarise the key points you made this week within your role:
In this weeks role of an camera operator we had to prepare an interview with our 'celebrity' Tyra however as she has exams we also have to work round her and the director/floor manager and vision mixer.
We also have decided to have the interview look like it has been filmed in a different place however it be filmed in the studio as we can rehearse in the studio and practise around the restrictions we have.
We did not have a group meeting this week as we all had to catch up on the things we did not completed and were due on our blogs.

What has been successful this week:
This week we have organised when we have to film the interview and we have asked everyone if they would be free after our lesson for this session, and we were successful in me and Amrit working both as a team also in a complete team with the whole crew.

What do you intend to do next week:
Next week we intend to film the interview Tyra monday after school so we have the studio all set up in lesson and do the rehearsals.

Working with the whole team was effective as we can all communicate very well with each other and there are no mis-communcation so if the ideas are changed we would all be informed.

Production Meeting Reflection - 2

What we did this week: Me and my partner Amrit, completed the 10 risk assessment sheets we had to do. We also tested out the track and dolly to see how to control it/use it. We also took pictures of it and pictures of what the camera view would be when filming, and then analysed the pictures of why we would use that camera and would it be good use. We are going to make a powerpoint presentation about this to put onto our blogs to show that we understand also for the director to see what angles we would likely to be using.

Group Response: In this weeks meeting we found out that wee need to film while using the track to see how it films and if its smooth and not hard to film while multi-tasking. The director needs us to probably film backstage vt's or either interviews in 'another' studio.

Successful this week:
Me and Amrit both learnt how to use the camera, track, dolly also we both know how to edit from our previous assignment.

What do we need to change and develop:
Both me and Amrit need to develop our skills on using the track and how to handle the camera, make sure it is not shaky when using it as we have not used the track before, so we may have rehearsals to use the track amd record.

What to do next week:
Next week we intend to record in the studio with Tyra our 'celebrity' so we can rehearse what we have to do also write about what we are doing on our blogs.

How did we work with your hierachical peers this week? Was it effective?
Everyone works together perfectly for example, the director (sam) has told me and amrit to record the interview also told had a disscussion with us about were the track will be going and what we have to do this has been effective becuase we know what we are doing and get to work on it straight away, it's more organised.

Who's idea did you vote for?:
I voted for shriya's idea as, she exaplined her idea really well for exmaple i liked the way she said she wants the programme to relate to the teenagers and be fun but however be serious and the same time, i liked that idea as lots of young teenagers have been influenced by music video's and this show might show them that it's not all about everything that goes on in the music video however the show would still be fun and not boring with the quiz's and audience interaction.

What did you ike about the idea:
i liked the idea of having a competition and live footage being involved also having a vox pox, this would target the audience.

What aspects relate to the brief:
the running order shriya has made sticks to the brief as it is suposed to be 30 minuters long and it is by having 15 minutes live recording and 15 minutes pre-recording.
She has also related to the age target audience and also the presenters have to wear casual but fun clothes as shriya has shown on her blog and i think that does relate back to the brief as it is for younger audience and wearing them clothes they can still relate in their own way.

What idea's do you think need developing on:
In my opinion I dont think she needs to develop on alot as she has included everything you would typically have in a show, also she has added the urban and contempary look which makes it even better (targeted age).

What other idea's did people have that you could be incorporated into the final idea?:
I really like Morgans idea's of her background and how the studio will be set as it was really fun and out there, also I would want to include my own idea in there, my idea was to have to places where the presenters would be and the second desk would alredy have the some of the audience behnd them as the audience at home would see there reactions, i got this idea from 10 '0' clock live.
