Final practice run through- SOCIAL CHALLENGE

The final practice run went extremely well, we allocated our roles within our groups and performed them to a professional standard. We set up our equipment, and were organised with our scripts and teleprompter on the TV screen for the host to look at.

One of our team members Chai-ann did not attend this final practice run, and her role was; teleprompter, as she was not in I covered for this role and managed both jobs which were floor manager and Teleprompter.

Overall the director in the control room and I worked well together and communicated well with the camera operators and everyone in the studio.

Third Practice Run- SOCIAL CHALLENGE

Today we had another practice run and this went fairly well, as the camera operators (Abigail, Timmy, keely) were prepared and had the correct equipment with the shooting script and headphones. This enabled them to hear what was goingon in the control room, and to hear the director (Dani) tell them what shots to carry out next. The actors were more aware of the concept of the game and engaged well within the activities. 

Dani began the show once she received the all clear from me though the mic system. My team in the control room, who i was communicating with, started the music with the lights which is being recorded separately on the mixing desk. Daai then told me and the camera operators for when to begin speaking.

Second practice run- SOCIAL CHALLENGE

The second practice run allowed us a s a team work collaboratively, we allocated our roles however there were technical difficulties that were an issue. For example the equipment, we will be needing 3 headphones and a forth iPad for the vision mixing.
The lighting and the sound is important as it needs to be in time with Tim who is the host, we will also need to arrange a TV set up for the background.
The shooting script was an issue as the camera operators were not prepared, however we managed to find the shot list which was an alternative to this situation.

This was our first time in the TV studio we practice our show. In the beginning we didn’t have the script and right papers so next week we must be prepared. Also everyone needs to know their roles and discuss with the group if you want to change it. As we had a issue with one of the crew member of a confusion of their role. Just a reminder of your job roles - However this is will but do discuss it with the group. Director -  Dani Vision Mixer - Berfin Floor Manager - Maarya Cam 1 - Timi Cam 2 (Main)- Vic Cam 3 - Abi Sound - Zak Lighting/ Teleprompter - Chai ann Tech/Monitor - Keeley

Practice Production- SOCIAL CHALLENGE

In this session we were shown 'MULTICAM REC' where there was a grid that showed us 3 cameras,
Those cameras were set up around the room and we could see the filming that was going on through the main camera using that app. The app allowed us to see 3 camera and 1 Visual Mixer display. 1 for a Teleprompter.

I gained a key understanding of how to setup the monitors and how everything on the app works. As the floor manager it is my role to get everything intact and make everyone prepared and ready for filming, i will need to understand how everything works in order to do my job correctly.

Practice production-Social Challenge

As a group we allocated our roles, firstly we set up the studio and equipment then I gathered our actors, props and put them in position providing them with the script and the iPad. Dani, Berfin, Keely and I explained the concept of the  Social Challenge game whilst Timi, Abigail, and victor set up the cameras.

We had a practice run where we all participated in our roles, mine being the floor manager and speaking with the people in the control room, who were Berin and Zak.

There were some problems that occurred when we had 2 people in our team arguing due to the fact that one person was not sure about their role, we dealt with this by doing a run through. The HDMI with the ipad is something that needs to be dealt with whether we edit in the footage after or allow the guest to plug it into their ipad.
