This week we had another run through of our multi camera 'Social Challenge' once again I felt like this was a successful run through. I felt as a team we were more cohesive as we all knew what we had to do for our role. This week I changed the tripod I was using to a one which was mobile, this helped me as it was more easier to film as it moved less. One criticism of the show would be that it finished too quickly. We also added audience involvement to the show to make it feel more realistic, another problem we had was with the teleprompter as it made the host look towards the camera too the left when he needed to face the middle camera.

Today in the studio we had a run through for our multi cam production 'Social Challenge'. At the start of the lesson we had the set prepared for our show, everyone had a clearer understanding of what they had to do. Personally for me this was one of the best run through as I always had a good shot before the vision mixer went to my camera, also the sound timing and lights had significantly improved from the previous run through. Overall everyone in the group understood there role and performed there jobs to a good standard. The next time we have a run through we will make sure we have our ident for our show. One thing I would improve from the show I would tell the host to stay in one position as he would sometimes turn his back to the camera which would make it hard for me to capture a good shot.

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)

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.
