Fiction Adaptation

As live research trip

On Tuesday, i took a trip to the Riverside Studios in London to watch the recording of Russel Howards Good News, besides it being hilarious it was a good insight into the filming of a tv programme. There were 5 cameras for just one man which seemed like a lot, but i suppose is normal. It was interesting to watch the screens hanging from the ceiling as they were showing which shots the vision mixer was putting up. Also there was a minor technical fault when one of the VT's didn't play properly.

At the end of the show Russel had to do pick ups of what he had either done wrong or that needed to be amended, which he seemed fairly annoyed with because there was a lot of them, one of which had been dropped from the show in the first place.

Gallery Day

We spent a day in the studio with Hans today, which was a great help! Cat and I got to sit in the gallery and practise our jobs which gave me a chance to come to terms with the vision mixing equipment, and the opportunity to experiment with all the different fades and effects. I really enjoyed it and it is something i would quite like to do some more of. The experience alleviated most of my fears of pressing the wrong button, but it will be good to get some practise in with 6 cameras as opposed to just the two we had today.

As live production roles

We got told our production roles for the as live project today, i was given Research/Camera Operator for the VT's/VT editing for before the shoot day, with my shoot role being Vision Mixer. I'm not too worried about shooting and editing the VT's but mixing the vision is a bit daunting! Hopefully it's a lot easier than i imagine and we wont just end up watching a programme full of shots of the back of peoples heads because ive pressed the wrong button!
