'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.

It is always good for an editor to have a good workflow, as this will save so much time and effort in the long run, when carrying out this workflow becomes the standard way that you carry out an edit. Doing this will also cause you less stress inn your production, which can also help your editing, as when you are stressed about it, there may be some things that you miss during the edit.

Fiction adaptation workshop

Experimental camera angles We were tasked with using various camera techniques and angles to create a short film that included elements that we may want to include in our final piece. I chose to shoot a piece with the same theme for my final piece, which is Despair. I wanted to use a variety of shot types so that I could practice them for my real shoot. https://youtu.be/_6Nqfn8Jrjw
