Budget


Evidence of meetings


In the first meeting we went through the task 1 brief we then assigned job roles to each person in our group. As a group we then discussed how the game would work within the TV studio and how we would film it. The job role I was given was to find out the location reece.  (15 minutes)
In the second meeting we discussed the layout of the the set we talked about what type of backdrop to use, we also agreed that it would be best to have six contestants and one host. We also decided to have a set layout similar to the show  "celebrity juice" . We also talked about the different shots we intended to use. (20 minutes)
The image to the right shows the task assigned to each person in the group.

In this lesson we had a run through of our television programe Social Challenge, while in the studio we experienced some technical issues as well as individual issues. One issue I had as a camera operator was that I did not know what shots to take as I had not looked at the shooting script beforehand. In hindsight I would have memorized the shooting script to avoid coming into studio without having a clear idea of what I had to do. Another problem we had was with the lighting as Chai-ann was unfamiliar with her role and did not when to fade in or out the lights. Also Zek who was in charge of the sound was not familiar with how to operate it, this meant he did not when he had to add in sound. These issues helped us in the long run as it made sure the next time we entered the studio we had everything prepared before filming.

At the end of the run through we were given feedback by Danielle, at the start of the run through it was chaotic as not everyone was familiar with there role,  One thing me and the rest of the cameramen struggled with was not having the shot list which caused problems as we did not what shots to takes. Another problem we had is that we did not have all the pre-recorded clips ready before we started to film. We also had problems with the sound as we did not have the music we wanted to use ready beforehand, also zek who was in charge of the sound did not know when to play the music. After the initial hiccups everything else went quite smoothly, as the filming progressed I felt more comfortable in my role as I began to understand my role better. One problem I had was that I found it difficult to move the Ipad while it was on the tripod as it was stiff. In the next lesson I will try a different tripod which would be more easier to film.
