Production Reflection 4

This week I had a lot more to sort out than usual for my role, I had to make sure that I had everyone details (email address and mobile number of the cast and crew) so that I could put it onto the call sheets that I had to complete for every single person but especially for the guests on the show, I did have to change some of the details on the call sheets because it wasn't needed for the type of show that we are filming .
The call sheets are very important because it holds all the vital details of the cast/crew, set, equipment and date/times. All these details are needed for every individual person just in case they need to find out a particular detail of a cast/crew or of the set. Plus it is also helpful for the person themselves to have a copy of their call sheet so that they know when they come in on set and what equipment is going to be on set and also there's email addresses and mobile numbers of every in front and behind the camera, which they can contact them for an emergency or just to assure something.
Also this week I got some new designs from the set designer of how the set of the show was going to be laid out, so I had to re-position the cameras and lighting and discussing it with the camera operators and the lighting desk operator.





Even though there was a lot of changes being made to the work this week, the call sheets have been successful. I managed to get everyone correct details and put it onto the call sheets and get details from the presenters about the shot numbers when the guests will be coming in and all the set details from the set designer. I did have a struggle with one of the call sheets because I wasn't able to get any detail from one of the guests that's meant to be on the show which did course a slight problem, but I was about to go get some help from the lighting desk operator who knew the details of the guest and clarified with them that it was fine for me to put their details on the call sheet.

At the moment there does not seem to be anything that needs to be changed because I have already made the changes this week so that's perfectly fine. There is also nothing that needs to be developed because everything is already taken care of, but if there does happen to be a change that needs to be made then I will sort it out as best as I can.
Next week there isn't much for me to do as I have already sorted out all the work for my role, but I will just conform and find out from the director if there happens to be any changes made which involved my role and if not then I will see if there's anyone who needs anything that I  may be able to help with.
This week I worked very well with the rest of the group, even though we all have different roles for this production I do think that we all work well together and help each other out as much as possible. This week I worked close with everyone but mainly the set designer, lighting desk, camera operators and also the presenters mainly to find out the information about their work to put into the call sheets. My work wasn't really effective, I would say the work that I did this week was mostly vital and needed because otherwise the director wouldn't know exactly who is involved and also the people themselves wouldn't know.

Production reflection week3

This week in the meeting we discussed what work we had completed for our specific roles.
This week my task was to get the design of the set from the set designer which I did, and I had to add more of the equipment's to the design. So I had to work close with the lighting desk and also the camera operators because I had to know where the lights were going to be placed so that I could draw it on the design of the set that I had, and I also had to do the exact same for the cameras. Knowing where each of the equipment's will be placed is very important especially for my role as the floor manager.

After I finished the design of the placing of the equipment's on the set, I made sure that the lighting desk and camera operators had a look at the design of the set that I just done, so that they had an idea also of how the other equipment will be placed on the set. They were all pleased with the design of where the equipment's were going to be positioned for filming, and I will make sure that I print out and hand out these to the roles that need it.








































Also in the meeting I was able to get information of what other people were doing for their role and to see if any of their work needed my role for anything. I did find out that I would need to work close with the set designer very soon, most probably next week, because I have to start on call sheets which is where I get certain details from the guests and crew that will be there on the day of filming, so I will also need the details of what props will be needed and how the set will be designed for that particular shot and also any important details that they will need to know.

Production Reflection week2

This week in the meeting we discussed what we all individually completed this week for our job roles.
My job this week was to complete the sheet that I was given on the risk assessment for 3 different locations on the set and outline any of the hazards that people need to be aware of and how the hazard can be handled.
Also this week I had a look at my task for next week, which is getting the design of the set with the cameras and lighting also and knowing where the equipment is going to be placed and positioned for the day of filming.

The 3 different locations that I chose to assess was:

Camera

Lighting










Set of show


I chose these 3 locations because I think that its most important, and is mainly the most high risk area of hazards occurring unfortunately. I also had to figure out if each of the hazards were a low, medium or high risk. Most of the hazards that I found were mainly medium risks, which is a hazard that most people will know but could cause a problem (injury) if not aware of.
Having a risk assessment form is very useful I think, because you are outlining the low, medium and high risks that are there in any location where people will be. Not only is it helpful for others, but it is also helpful and useful for the person that is completing the form because they might found out other facts/hazards that they may have never known, so they are reassuring themselves with the facts.

Throughout the week I made sure that the people that I was working close with, knew what I was doing and what information/facts that I may need to take from them so that I am also up to date with what is going on.
The job roles that I worked close with was the Lighting desk and the camera operators, the reason for this was because I was slightly struggling with coming up with at least 10 hazards for the separate locations that I decided to do, but thankfully I was able to get some help and good ideas
Also in the meeting I was able to get a brief description of what everyone was doing and how its fitting in with my role if so.

Set of studio

This week I was working close with the light desk and camera operators. I got the set of design from the set designer and was able to plot down where the lights were going to be placed and positioned. I helped decide which colours to use for the lights to give off a good mood from the colour.

 

I had to discuss the design with the lighting desk and camera operators to make sure that they were ok with the plan and if they thought it would work well. The main problem that we were having trouble with is where the cameras would be placed without getting in the way of the lights, making sure that there will be no shadows seen.

 

 

 





I was working with the lighting desk, sorting out where the lights would go and how it will be positioned. We also was figuring out which colours would work best for the set. At first we chose green and blue but it wasn't the right colour to use as it was too dull/dark.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We then decided that it would be best to have a soft, calm colour to lighten the mood of the show. That's why we chose the orange and clear colour for the lights because it gives off a soft tone to peoples faces.

Production Meeting Reflection

We are planning a music magazine show for our next project, and before we can actually make a start. We had a production meeting where the whole class including the teachers, sit down with our ideas of a music magazine show and discuss our points and share any advice or improvements that could be made. While everyone in the group was sharing their individual ideas, we all took down quick/basic notes from each peer which were:  name of the show, involvement of audience, outstanding points and any improvements. After each person shared their idea, as a group we all talked about what we liked about their ideas and why it stood out to us and we also gave improvements/changes that could be made to make their music magazine show much better and even get chosen.

When it came to me sharing my idea about the music magazine show, I had a brief description on a piece of paper which also had a few images of the logo, title, set design and background design. The reason I chose to show the group the designs that I have created was because it's much easier for people to not only her but to also visualize what it is that you have produced. Honestly I was very impressed and surprised with the groups reaction to my ideas for the music magazine show.

The feedback that I got was that they liked the title of the show which is 'drop da Base' , they also really liked the design of the title including the logo so I was very pleased with their reaction to that. They also told me that they liked my ideas of the guest speakers and fans having a rap battle and wining a chance to produce a small recording with their fan which they can take home with them.

 

After the meeting, we were able to go home and think about all the ideas that were shared in the group and decide on the best music magazine show that you personally liked from the group, I chose 'Pick up the vibe' which was Arrun's idea, the reason I chose his idea firstly because I find the name of the show very catchy and relevant to have as the name for the music magazine show. The different games that he came up with, even though some of the games were a bit adventurous but then again that's the whole point you want to make your show stand out from other music magazine shows that are out there. Also one of the games involved the audience, where a question would be asked to them and they could win tickets to a concert and personally I think involving the audience in the show as much as possible is vital, because not only is the guests on the show important but so is the audience, especially the fans that are out there in the crowd because what you need to remember is that you need to grab their attention to your show. Most importantly his ideas always related back to the brief of the main ideas for the music magazine show. He covered the title, designs, games, audience and set. All of these points are essential to bring out a good and well known show.

The main thing definitely needs to be added, is more involvement with the audience and guest speakers that are on the show.

There were some areas that needed improvement to make the show much better. I chose to take some ideas from other people and include it into pick up the vibe. One of the ideas that I chose was to have a couple rap battle, where the guest couples would rap about one another. I think including this idea would be great fun for the audience because they can hear about the guest that they may never have known before. Interviewing the guests is also a good idea, asking them questions about themselves or about upcoming events which will inform the audience.

Music magazine programme

Programme format
The mode of address will be fun, bubbly and exciting. I want to try capture the audience attention as much as possible and keep them entertained. The programme format will be informal because of the type of people that I want to appeal to. The type of genre that I am going for is urban because I know that I can appeal to that genre in a big way.


Title of show

The title of my music magazine show is 'Drop Da BASE'.

The reason I chose this title is because everything that I feel about music is in the title, music is all about the base, you can hear the base and you can feel the base. Drop Da BASE is a remember able name of for a music magazine show, I know for a fact that the viewers will remember the name because it's catchy and straight away just saying the name grabs peoples attention, they want to know what the name means, whats it about.

 This is the logo for Drop Da Base:

I wanted to make the logo stand out and have the main letters that are needed to still show what the title is called.
I also what there to be an image to represent base, that is why I have included a image of a speaker behind the letter 'B'. I used this style for the letters because its something different, its bold, bright and grabs your attention from the way its been structured.


Content ideas
In the music magazine show there will be 2 presenters taking charge of the whole show, introducing the guest and keeping the audience entertained throughout the show.
There will be 2 guest speakers that will take a seat on set of the show, where they will be interviewed and asked questions from the audience.
There will be guest who will be in the upcoming room where they will be rapping, singing or expressing in poem, this is where they have their chance to get the viewers to know who they are and what to expect from them.
There will also be a part where the music videos that we filmed will be played on the back screen, showing the viewers what we are about.
There will also be a celebrity quiz, where the presenters will question the guest about any top news on any well known celebrities.

Running order

The music magazine show will be filled with interviews from well known guest, rap battle of up coming artists and top quizzes.
The show will begin with the camera zoomed on the background/logo, with the background music playing while the camera zooms out and focuses on the two presenters who will start to introduce the show and themselves. (last for at least 3minutes).
The presenters will then run through the upcoming acts and guest that will also be on the show, to get the audience excited. (last for 2minutes). After the introduction, the presenters will welcome the first guest to the show and make their way to the seats on stage. (last for 2minutes).
The presenters will be interviewing the guests on the top seat and even trying to put them out and seeing if they keep their cool. The guest will also be promoting their CD's or upcoming concerts/events.(6minutes).

Now that the introduction is fully complete the upcoming room will now be played on the back screen, the upcoming room is where upcoming artists will show off their skills, whether its singing, rapping or expressing poems to the audience out there to get to know them. Also if they want to make it more interesting and have a upcoming title battle. (last for at least 3minutes).
Once the battle is over, the back screen will be playing a few of the music videos that we have created, to show the audience what the show has to offer. (last for 6minutes).
The presenters will then start on the top quizzes that the guest and audience can answer and if the answer is correct a new special guest will appear on the next show.(3minutes).
To end the show, it will be a fade out of a music video or of the upcoming room with the upcoming artist. (2minutes-then fade).


Studio design

 I have designed the studio like this because I know it will work well with what I am trying to achieve. I placed camera 1 on the left side facing the presenters, so that the viewers can see the expressions/reactions of the presenters especially with a close up. I placed camera 2 on the right facing the guest, so the viewers can see the guests entrance from the door to the sofa on the set, this way they can see their body language, movement and have more of an eye on the guest because they are the most important part to the show.
Camera 3 is facing both the presenters and guest on the seat, having the camera there the audience can see the whole set, the guest and presenters and they can also view what is going on, on the back screen.

Sketch of background

This is the background of the music magazine show, I wanted to try and be creative with an image that could be within the title.
I went I hear the word drop, the first thing that comes into my head is an object being dropped with things coming out, that's exactly why I chose to have a back upside down and music notes, speakers and headphones falling out of the bag with the word drop, to help the viewers understand what's happening.
I made the word Base big, bold and eye catching because the word base is really the key item in the show, I wanted it to stand out just like base does in music.

Visual style

There will be some graphics on set, especially on the back screen mixing in with the background of the show that I have created. The graphics will continuously change throughout the show, so that it has more of an effect on set so the audience can see other images/text on the screen.
For example, when the guests come onto the show the back screen will have images and writing of the guest speaker, whether its their name or their occupation.


Presentation style

The mode of address will be fun, bubbly and exciting. I want to try capture the audience attention as much as possible and keep them entertained.
The presenters will be speaking and acting informal to reach across to the audience and viewers that I am focusing on, it'll suite the genre that this show will be.
The presenters will loud, bubbly, confident this is important, quick thinkers, everything that is needed to get the audience entertained.

Job roles for a multi-camera production

In multi-camera production has a variety of job roles included to manage out the industry, Camera operator, Sound mixing, Vision mixing, Directing, Set designer, Lighting desk, Floor manager, Graphics generation, VT Operator and Presenter. All the roles are important no matter what slot they are in, in the hierarchy.

This is quite a difficult role that they have because they have a lot of responsibilities in the multi-camera production, they need to make sure that the sound that they have recorded through the film or clip has been recorded clearly otherwise that means they will have to re-do the scene again until the sound has been recorded correctly and is suitable.

The skills that are required from a director is being able to take charge of everything, the director has to be on top of everything that is going and take charge in their role whether its explaining to peers what they have to do or making sure that people are at their correct places.
With the skill of taking charge they also need to make sure that they can stay calm and deal with any dilemma that may occur, there will always be a problem that might creep up out of no where and the director who is the head of the production, needs to make sure that they can deal with it as quickly as possible so that it doesn't effect anyone else with their roles.

The lighting role are responsible for the lighting on set before the cameras begin to role and also while the filming is taking place. It's quite an important role because the lighting sets the mood of the atmosphere which is vital because you wont to make sure the lighting is correct for the specific genre of filming. For example if its a film of horror then the lighting will be dark, dull and gloomy.
The lighting managers have to bring in  their own equipment to work with, this is very good as they wont need to learn new skills on how to user other equipment's. One of the key things that they will have to do is have a health and safety check before any filming begins.

They need to have strong communicating skills, so that they can talk to the director especially and  get directions on what they need to do.
The video operator also needs to make sure that they can handle being under pressure on a daily basis and be prepared to get stressed out because they also have an important role to play.

The presenter has  role to play which mainly involves the audience that are watching, they need to keep them entertained, comfortable and make sure that they know what they are expecting.
They also need to make sure that they present every bit of detail and information that they have that will benefit the audience.

The presenter has to work closely with the director, just like the floor manager but instead the presenter works close with the director for the script that they have to follow throughout the production. The presenter can always get a chance to have to get interviewed or even interview someone even from the audience, so they need to make sure that they are always on guard and ready to do that.
The skills that are required from the presenter is definitely confidence, they need to be confident in front of a camera and be able to project their voice even without microphones.
They also need to be able to think on the spot, especially if something gets changed at last minute then they need to think off the top of their heads and go with the flow so that the production still carries on.

 This is what I think the hierarchy of a multi-camera production role is, I have thought about it hard and have looked over the research that I have done to collect the information about each role and that is why I have put the order like this.

 I put the director at the top of the hierarchy because they are in charge of everyone in the studio, they have the most responsibilities than any of the other roles and they have more to do.
I put the presenter at the bottom because even though they work close to the director they still don't have priority to really tell other people what to do unless they are helping with ideas but they aren't in charge of anyone except the audience.
