'As live' Studio production: Rehearsal day 5

During this rehearsal, we had the presenters in so that they could get a sense of what the show is going to be like, and to help them visualise what is going to be happening in the show. We had also bought a mannequin for the show, which I was in charge of.

By this rehearsal, everyone was becoming very comfortable in their roles, and we were all working well in our teams, which for the camera operators was having a camera assistant, and then swap roles half way through the show.

This rehearsal ran very smoothly, and we managed to make it through the whole show without stopping, although we needed to be a bit more sudden with our timings between the segments, and we need to be a little bit quicker when we reposition the cameras.

Documentary unit: Jackie interview

So we could get an outside view on fake fear, we were able to secure an interview with an actual adrenaline junkie, only thing was, she's 73! She was amazing to interview, and her answers were so descriptive, which gave us some area to play around with during the edit. We needed to rearrange the house to better suit an interview, and when we realised that we would have to do that, we were glad that we were filming in one of our own homes instead of Jackie's house, or in a public area, as we then had control over the whole environment. Jackie was a pleasure to interview, as she was very relaxed and had a great sense of humour to match.
