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.

Today I had to help We r London, they had a missing camera man so I had to fill in for them and help them film their show. It went well but the group needs to rehearse a bit more.


Being a camera man for We R London was quite easy there was not really much to do because most of the times the camera shots were the same. There was hardly any movement within the guests and host because they were sitting down throughout most of the show.
At some points in filming I had to zoom in and out , my main focus was on the guest.



24/01/2017 meeting








Our rehearsals went really well , the run through ran smoothly , everything went good. This was the best rehearsal we have had as a group.
 Our group worked well with each other. I was the camera person my role was to track the presenter and I had done a great job with that.


We were given feed back for our group and bellow is the feedback that we were given to improve:

making sure the guests have their coats off
make the set look like a set
get our idents (group logos)
The presenter needs to stop turning his back to the camera


our group work was 11 minutes long, it needs to be 20 minutes so we will be adding in adverts and trying to make the show even longer so it can be longer.


By improving and taking in these feedbacks this will help our group to perform much better in order for our production to be good quality and for our grade not to drop
