Weekly Production Meeting Reflection - 4

This week our class did not actually have a meeting and we were all given certain tasks that we needed to complete before the end of Friday for Live Day. Everyone in the class was told that they needed to contribute to the master script. Since I had the role of being the camera operator I had to make a list of all the camera shots that would be used on live day, so that when people look at the master script they will know what every shot in the show is going to actually look like, and what exact shot is going to be shown at a certain time.

I managed to finish my part of the master script which was camera 2, which showed some of the shots would be shown on live day. There was only one difficulty that I faced this week which was the time I had to add to the master script, but I managed to finish everything that I needed to do.

There is not much left that I need to change and I still need to change to the master script and I will have to talk to the director next week if anything else needs to be changed.

This week we finished Live Day, and everything went very well. Everybody who was there did everything 3 times, we were told that there were a lot of mistakes on the first 2 times we did the show, since everyone was not very concentrated, and everybody kept messing up, but later we managed to do everything on a professional level.

Since I was the camera man I was using the track so that I could move around getting a lot of different shots for the show. At the start of live day I only had one shot to do, which was a long shot of the two guests talking about the show, and sir told me that one shot was not enough and I needed more to do, so later on I was told that I could film part of the performance and I could film one of the presenters talking about all of the celebrity gossip.

Later on all of the filming went smoothly and there were no shots that I did, and I was told my Jeevan all of the shots and if I needed to change anything when I was moving the camera, Jeevan told me everywhere that I needed to go while I was filming.

Everything went perfect when I was filming, I communicated well with the floor manager and the director, and there were no shots that was messy and I managed do make all of the shots that I did look like it was on an actual live TV show. If there was only one thing that I would say went wrong, was when I was moving the camera during the live performance, there was a wire that tangled up with the track, but I managed to fix that problem with the help of the floor manager, and everything went fine. 

Overall I think that I made a lot of progress with the camera work, and I gained a lot of skills with cameras, and it helped with my idea with camera work with live TV shows which was very useful.

This week, due to there being exams, we did not manage to do that much in the time that we were given, but we were all assigned to do our own rolls. Being the camera operator I sorted out what shots that I would need to do on live day. I now learnt that I am camera 2 and I will be using the track to film the main area of the show where the host will interview the guest.

Through the whole week me and Ismail sorted out all of the camera shots that we would use on live day, and we learnt that we were going to move our cameras around, and I was told when I was going to move the track I would also be filming the area where Faris would talk about the gossip, and I was told that I would be filming one part of the live performance as well.

Before it came to live day, I wanted to make sure that I knew everything about the wires, so I asked miss if I could film her doing the wires, so I would know exactly what went where, which was very useful, but on live day it turned out that they were already set up.

When it came to live day everything went fine, I had to come in early to practice the camera shots and we did the show 3 times to perfect everything. Overall I think it went very well, and nothing went wrong with the final production.
