Live show

Studio

Today was our live show for the tv skills unit. I was on camera 3, set design and the VT director. Camera i took over from another person as I got told by the producer of the show that they wanted me to do it rather than them, i did get told this in plenty off advance so i got to practise the camera moves and what shots to get at what time. I also done set design, i don’t have a photo of it but i thought it was good but not great, i should have got in contact with the producer a lot sooner than i did to give her my ideas for the set, i had issues when trying to come up with ideas as they all got shut down because of health and safety and things that were just not possible. I overcame this by having projectors on the background with covered both the wide angle shots and the single shots for the camera’s. Finally for the VT director we had two VT’s to film these went as smoothly as they could have because there was only me the VT producer and VT camera man that turned up to both shoots. i had to take upon the role for VT sound swell as still being director because this was the only way to overcome the issue. the VT’s did turn out really good and i was really pleased with them even though we didn’t have all the people we should have. When it comes to the final live show i think it went really really well and smoothly on my part i don’t everything that i needed to, i got all the set, set up before the preparation and on camera i done everything that i need to and everything that i practiced and got it almost spot on. I also think that the live show in general went so well and i was pleased with how much of it that is saw.

Introduction to making a live TV show

TV Studio

This is the unit that we have to make a television show that is as live. We learnt all about the roles in the studio and in the gallery, from floor manager to vision mixer. There is loads of different roles for this type of show and some that i didn’t even know about before. First i was floor manager with i enjoyed, then i was moved into the gallery and had my go at the director, this is thought was difficult at first but once i got the hang of it I improved and done a better job. The next session i was on camera which is fun to do because you get to show off your creative thoughts on what angle and what type of shot is best for this type of program; then for the other half of the session i went back into the gallery to have my turn as the vision mixer, I found this really hard as remembering which camera is which button and what buttons were for the Ulay and the VT’s, so i decided this role wasn’t anything i was interested in and didn’t wan t to carry it on, but I’m glad i gave it a go because no i know for sure.
