First day in the studio

The first day in the studio went well as we learnt to familiarise ourselves with the equipment, space, and the different roles in the control room and on the set. Tom the technician gave us a description of the equipment and what it was used for, for example we learnt how to operate the cameras and how to utilise the visual mixer in the control room. We then allocated roles in side the control room and also on the set.

Tom handed me headphones with a mic, where i also had a device in which i was able to change the volume,  my role on set was the floor manager, which i think i handled well as i was able to multitask by talking to the people in the control room as well as sending information back to the production crew on set.
I had to work closely with Berfin, Timmy, and Jacira who were camera operators, i needed to ensure that the shots that the director (Tim) in the control wanted, was being taken. I had to work closely especially with Jacira as she did not have any access to headphones, so she wasn't able to hear anything in the control room , my role was to tell her to switch to different shots. 

when switching roles in the control room my job role was to help my team member on the sound and visual mixer, i felt that i was more effective working as the floor manager, as i didn't really do anything in the control room.
