Final production day 08/02/2017

Today was our final production day for a live shoot with a live audience. As for our shoot as for look good as the audience liked it and they understood what was going on as we had our inserts on the side on the studio of the big screen. Some things that the audience did find that good was the second performance song felt hyped but the artist looked like they had no energy. As being the director I think I did alright and there was not any problems that I came across, but before we did the live shoot we had a practice and that had a few things that we changed to improve on, one thing was lighting we decided to turn all the lights off for the performance and use one that is on the tripod so it would focus on the artist black out anything other than the artist. We also moved the left camera to the side of the artist to get a side view of the performance. One thing that went really wrong was the audio recording as our audio person was not in but the technician set it up so we I just had to press play to record but it turned out it did not record so we have to use the raw recording from the IPad.

From this I got a good understanding on roughly how a TV production works and the amount of problems that you can face, but it was a good experience especially as I was director so I saw everything that went on the in studio.

06/02/2017

Today we had a change of plans with our filming as we had some technical problems with the ipads as the technician had not been in all week so we could not update the software, therefore our teacher asked another teacher to swap our lesson on wednesday to be in the TV studio to do our final production. As we had technical problems we just used to time to do another practice run through, because of the problems with the software we got rid of the teleprompter and plugged in another ipad and got the floor manager to play the clips on the TV screen then we would edit later on.
