14th June
Today we told everybody to get in early to give us a full rehearsal of muck. Relying on the weather, we had to measure the space outside and measure it up in the studio because it was raining. So Esme and ollie measure it up whilst i got all the equipment out of the way and set the three cameras up to where i want them to be and neatly put the cables in the right position. Sam decides to mess with the floor lights which i thought was a bad idea as it would take up alot of room and the fact that were not even going to use the lights anyway! This rehearsal was a 50 / 50 progression. i do have an clear idea of what i want, but the problem is turning the clear idea into the practical work. The problems we had was having enough room because we are pretty sure that Esme measured it correctly but it seems like we have no room what so ever. Another problem we were getting is the cables getting in the way of each camera. but this could be the reaosn of people not being there for rehearsal. Even the smallest jobs are important. After this rehearsal not feeling as confident as i would like to be.

Today was all about preparing for broadcast day. Started off in the morning having a play with the set with nico and rob. Phil had then established that we had nothing to do with the actual programme BOING so we all had a discussion and i had came up with the idea of just printing off different sized circles, different colours on one board and on another just have the logo printed out many times in a neat order. This looks quite good. I took the job of going upstairs and printing these all off along with Amy. at abotu 12:30 phil called us in for a production meeting. telling us that we need to create a live promo! and it will be broadcasted at half 3! Laura's directing! ahhhhhhh! He also mentioned that me and mike the other director had to create a live news programme which will go live at 12 on the day were not directing. Me and mike took 5 minutes to speak about the theme we want to go for. But back to getting on with thing actually for broadcast day. i was in the presenters rehearsals to see what to expect, become familar with the script and camera shots i would like to use. at about half 2 i wanted a reahearsal with the whole production team to have a few rehearsals before the promo goes out live. i sat with chelsey helping her with the timings of the vts/ cutaways as she is P.A. i felt like i couldnt really do much experimenting with the cameras as not alot was happening. i gave the presenter a few things to do such as look at different cameras for different sentences just so i could get a variety. i also tried giving her some movement so it catches the audiences eye more. this just gave me a taster of what the actual broadcast day is going to be like.
