First Live Production- Social Challenge

Today we presented our production; Social Challenge and were lucky enough to have a live audience. We began this production by setting up the equipment, such as IPad, tripods, tables, logo poster, IPad stands, chairs, mics, headphones and a teleprompter on the screen which helped the presenter with the script. We organised the chairs for the audience, and as they arrived we created two signs which said 'Applause' and 'Silence', these were shown to the audience in order for them to respond to it.

As floor manager I communicated with the Director (Dani) in the control room, this was essential for me to do as it was necessary for me to know what they wanted to happen on the set and it was my job to overcome any issues regarding my staff and production on the floor.

I was also teleprompting the script, this was done effectively. During the live recording there were some technical issues, this was the sound, some of the sound was not in time and this got the audience confused on whether to clap or not.
As floor manager it was my role to give the signs to the audience on whether to clap or not, however me and keely were confused on our roles and she displayed the signs to the audience instead of me.

It was hard for me to move as there were many wires on the floor which were hazardous and when teleprompting i was stuck in one space when this was also Keeley's role. When the live production came to an end there were obvious issues with the camera work and the shakiness of the footage; it was not clear and this is when we decided to do another live recording.

The audience feedback was poorly and we gained limited responses about our production, this gave as another excuse to try our live recording again; this time correcting all of our previous mistakes.
