Looking at all our previous mistakes and issues, we decided to try one final time without repeating the same mistakes. We set up the equipment, ready to start filming, however two of the camera men were absent and this was a serious problem, however we overcame this problem by using two cameras instead of three, this was still effective as the presenter of the show only had to look into one camera and middle camera was to stay put only focusing on one main shot.
As floor manager I had a mic which connected me to the control room so i could listen to the director (Dani) and overcome any issues that had been on the floor; with the actors or staff. I also needed to communicate with the director with the timings of when the lights and sound should begin or end. For example when taking breaks on the show; I needed to give a countdown so they were aware of the perfect timings. This was carried out effectively considering the shortage of staff.
Me and Keely addressed the following job role mistakes and then overcame them by her teleprompting and me with the signs ready to show to the audience. I gave a countdown to the crew on set and in the control room, which enabled them to start the show with a fantastic opening and an applause from the audience with music being in time. There were no delays with the sound and this was carried out effectively.
Coming towards the end of the show our audience was enthusiastic and engaged well within our production. The only thing that went wrong was that at times the presenters mic was making noise which disturbed the show a little, however we also overcame this problem with Keely fixing his mic during the break on the show.
Merit – you have performed an operational role in a multi-camera production to a good technical standard with only occasional assistance.
