'As live' Studio Production: Rehearsal day 2

We had another rehearsal day on Tuesday, which went very well. We had the talk back system again, plus we had a script this time, so we could get more of an idea of how the actual show is going to be set out. We made a mock set with tape on the floor and a seating area in a similar style that it will be in the show. We set up the cameras that we are going to be using, with two of them being on wheels for easy movement.

We had some trouble at the beginning due to a couple of the cameras not producing a picture in the gallery, but that was rectified. It turns out there was a problem with the cables connecting the camera to the gallery.

We had numerous run-throughs of parts of the show so that we could get a feeling of where our cameras would have to be, however this was difficult as we found that we were constantly forgetting about the audience seats. We tried to get around this problem by setting up some chairs and having people sit in them for a bit, which helped very much.

Throughout the pre-production and production for my documentary, there are many things that I could have done better, but there are things that went really well. I feel like I managed to overcome the challenges that arose in a good manner, and also made some decisions that led to some very good results. The first thing that I could have done better is doing more thorough research, and trying harder to contact people from the club outside of club hours. If I had done this sooner, then I would have a better portfolio of more people who attend the club. I did manage to interview quite a few people at the club, both volunteer and customer, so I feel like I still had quite a good range of opinions, however it would have been good to broaden the types of questions that I asked them, such as what they did before coming to the club, or how they heard about the club. I feel like this would have been better to do as then the audience could build up more of a relationship to the characters, and
