For this rehearsal day, we were not just going to be learning how to carry out our jobs as best that we could. As well as that, we were going to be having a go in all of the other roles there were on the set, both on the floor and in the gallery. This was to get us to understand the roles better, and to know what it is like in case something goes wrong, as we need to act professionally and not yell at anyone if they make a mistake. This was still a great experience, because I'm a camera operator for the show, so it was really good to see in detail how the roles in the gallery worked. I quite liked being a vision mixer, and was actually quite good at it. I was the only person in my group who the tutor threw a curveball at, which was to have a transition between shots instead of a straight cut.
Of all the roles that I tried, I think the one that I lest liked was being in charge of the sound, as I could see that for a live show, it would be to complex for me, as you need to be keeping an eye on the presenter and guest mics, plus the overall sounds, like the stings and VTs. I think I'll stick to my camera operating.
