'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.

Not as scripted as it needs to feel like a natural conversation  Second half is the guests doing some activities, such as CAH, or similar to Norman VT from last years project. Have two or three different activities  End with scores, winner gets a prize, loser(s) have to do a forfeit. My partner had the idea to have a talent show for the disabled, so we decided to combine the two and have a chat show that focuses on the mentally or physically disabled, and ...
