Week 3

11/03/2014

My group and I rehearsed the production, this time with a script. The first time, I messed up quite a few times. Jenni was signalling the points to me with her hands, but I got a little confused with that sometimes. Also, I laughed at some points.

We did a second rehearsal. I was more familiar with the script, so I read it slightly better, but I was still confused with the points. Jenni was writing them down on her arm then showing them to me, but I sometimes couldn't read the tallies she had written down.

After that, Lads and Lasses set up in the studio. I was moved to the role of Camera B for that production and for the news production, I was moved from the role of Sound mixer to Camera C.

We did another rehearsal. I did it slightly better this time, but there were still issues, so the group asked me if I wanted to swap roles with Kim. I gladly accepted (as I didn't feel I would be able to get it right by the shooting day). I was now on Camera A and Kim was the presenter.

We did another rehearsal. It went slightly better than the previous rehearsals. Kim still made mistakes, but he kept it cool and made it seem more natural.

I started to work on VT's in the Mac room. I also rehearsed my Camera B role for Lads and Lasses. Kris made some music for the VT's.
Jenni gave me her storyboards for the VT's.

I downloaded a free trial of Adobe Premiere Pro to my computer and made 3 of the VT's at home. For the live action 'plates' (that the animations were laid over in Premiere) I used my Nikon D3100. I put the exported VT's on my memory stick.
