09/02/2016 official filming

Today was the day that we had to reshoot our show. This time we did not have a live audience to give us feedback.

First of all not everyone in our group showed up and also the contestants. There was supposed to be three contestants for each team but sadly we only had two for each team because the rest did not turn up. Also our camera man and sound guy did not turn up .

For filming we only had two camera's , this is because the person who had the third ipad did not turn up so we had to use three. I was using the middle camera , the filming went good because the tripod was good so it was easy for me to move the camera. I did not really have to do much and my team communicated with me very well.
Overall our live show went really well , everyone did a great job.

My overall experience for this unit is it went really well. I enjoyed working with my team and doing this unit. I have learnt how multi camera tv shows works and this has made my interest increase more due to the fact that i was part of one.


What went well was the way we worked together as a team, before it was hard for our group to communicate with each other and everyone was arguing and nobody was getting along but as we began to have more practice runs and everyone was doing their role, the communication and atmosphere within the team developed and we began to work really well. Another thing that went well was our filming , we filmed really well.


Personally I think I did a great job within my role, this is because my role was straight forward, I was the camera man. It was easy and it has developed my camera skills by far  and has given me great knowledge on how the cameras work during multi-camera TV shows. I performed really well because I followed the instructions that were given to me. My filming was on point , I did the correct shots at the right time and I managed this time to keep the tripods still so that the camera doesn't shake to ruin the footage.

Today we had our live recording for social challenge, the production went well , everyone  in my team turned up for the show and we even had a live audience that had provided us with feedback.

Me and Timmy were the cameramen , we were given instructions by Berfin (vision mixer) and Dani (director) through the headphones telling us what shots we should do and when.


Before the show started we had to set up the set , me and Timi set up the camera's by setting up the tripods and placing the ipad's on them correctly.


During filming everything was going great , but I had one of the stiff tripods. Whenever I tried to move the tripod around it would cause the camera to start shaking and this was annoying because it made the footage shake.




The show went well we finished shooting and then we had feedback. First of all the feedback that we received was crap. The feedback was mostly to the host and the people participating in our show such as ; they need to act like they are actually recording and improvise. But the technical feedback that we got was the floor manager did a great job with communicating with the team and the cameramen also did a great job.




What went wrong was when we played back the footage of our live show recording, the camera was shaking too much which made the footage look unprofessional. Also we could hear all the sounds and the conversations that was said through the mics which had been recorded onto the actual footage. Also the cuts for the footage weren't good, some of the cuts looked really bad and weren't cut at the right time. So sadly our group have to re-shoot our final piece because the footage was so bad it could not be submitted.
