Filming Answer This.

So we've filmed Answer This. 
It was difficult to start with as I found it difficult to project my voice in a clear but reasonable pace. I did enjoy being the host, it allowed me to work both on and off screen for this unit. It was tiring having to stand the whole time. Also I think the off screen crew need some understanding that I was trying my best. I think we could have been more organised and prepared for this shoot but the overall product was fun and interesting to be able to host and present.

Rehearsal for Answer This.

We spent little time rehearsing Answer This. I found it difficult to read my lines at a slow pace and really engage with the audience. After a while I began to naturally and properly connect with the audience and worked hard to make sure I conducted myself offscreen to the best of my ability. I do feel we could have prepared for the show more.

Learning the equipment in the studio.

I didn't need to learn much about the cameras as I was already aware on how to work it. When beginning the cameraman (or woman) has to place the camera where their shot begins with, then it is recommended for someone to be on screen to focus the camera for it to clear during filming.

PRACTICES.

Practicing each shot was essential to ensure the talent and crew understand the flow of the show. Practices aren't rehearsals. Practices helped me determine where my camera would need to be during certain points of the show. This was important for me to learn these shots to help us to be more prepared when rehearsing and filming the actual show.

HOT FIVE has been filmed :)

Today we filmed Hot Five. I believe it went well (after a few different takes) it was kept as a natural performance, the discussions were clear and I really enjoyed working on camera. I enjoyed it because it was something different. My roles in projects like these usually consist of being on screen as talent, but for me to work offscreen on the camera really gave me an insight into why and how the crew are equally as important as the talent used. The crew are as talented as the people onscreen. 
I really like the live feel of the TV studio tasks because it brings the class together, working on the same project (something that we rarely do). Next stop ANSWER THIS.
