Unit 23: Multi-Camera Techniques Brief - Friday day in the Studio (01/11/16)

Dear Diary...
(01/11/16)
Today we had a test run of a TV show with our college media teacher Tom. He give us a overall brief about the TV show, where some equipment's are stored and how it runned by the control room. As a group we had to understand the different all elements of TV Production. For an example, the control room, sound desk to director and the actual Set and design of the studio, of 3 camera set up, green screen and TV Monitor.
In the control room, we looked at different element such as the lighting desk (turning up or down the lighting depending on the shot and movement), Sound (FX- adding music on the vision mixer desk and placing the following sound to sound mixer, to certain parts of programme would follow camera script and the vision mixer (working with the director and multiple assistants to switch cameras and VT).
We each got the chance to change roles from director, floor manager and many more roles. I had a little taster from each of the different roles titles and the responsible that is needed for the show to run effective. I really like the job role of cameraman and sound. I believe I would good at cameraman as I understand a range of camera shot and movement that will be required, but I would also like to be the floor manager and the director as well.

On Set:
Camera Operator - Film the shots from Directors request and liaison with floor manager
Sound - Sound would be on hand with mics to capture sound from set
Floor Manager - Responsible for the running of set, respond to director's calls for action
Gaffer - Lighting crew who are on set to change or replace lights.

Actors/Presenters - Follow direction of floor manager, read auto cue and also listen to producers and director.
