My Role Week 3 - 31.03.14 The Cloud News
Group: Briana, Nathan, Emily, Alice
Role: Host
For Briana's group, my role was the host. I dressed accordingly and wore a suit and shirt. A blazer wasn't required as I was going for more of the Channel 4 look, with sleeves rolled up. I was presented with the script a few weeks prior however on the day a couple of stories were added including one that I couldn't know until we started recording. To prepare for this, I checked the script before hand and practised saying the lines on an autocue. I also liaised with the main group members.
When we entered the TV studio, I helped the others to set up as well as sitting in the desk so that the camera's can be adjusted (height of the camera, focus, lighting e.t.c) As I was host, there wasn't a lot I could do until rehearsals but I read through the script and made some spelling/grammar changed which were to be tweaked for the autocue. I had my microphone on which was changed after the sound check as it wasn't working well. We had three rehearsals with the last one going better. I thought the whole show went well however the speed of the auto cue at times was off putting. When I had the breaking news for the main story I had to look around in shock. The auto cue went on a bit long whilst it said "host looks around....." and as it was live I couldn't tell them to go faster.
I felt comfortable during the rehearsals and main recording. The main recording went well and I was happy with the final result (although I haven't seen the recorded version).

My Role & Group Performance Week 2 - 24.03.14 South Essex News
Group: Me, Sam, Tom & James
Role: Camera Man/Producer
Today it was the production for my group, South Essex News (SEN). I was a producer and also camera man. We have three full rehearsals and 4 weather rehearsals. As part of my role of producer, I had to make sure that everyone was organised. I started by printing off the scripts and also the check-list for Paul. James collected these sheets as he didn't have a job to do at the time (he was host). Once they were handed out, I printed out some more scripts with the breaking news section on it. James hadn't see this and wasn't allowed until he was saying it live. I had to prepare the breaking news article the night before; I also sent Sana the weather bluescreen background and script the previous night as she would need to know where to move her hands in sync with the background.
Breaking News:
We are currently receiving some breaking news about a
gas leak in Southchurch. Fire-fighters are at the scene currently and have
evacuated seven people and have stopped access to Ely Road. It's reported that
a gas main has been damaged in someone's garden, with reports suggesting that a
resident accidently damaged it. We will keep you up to date about further developments on that.
I thought the rehearsals went well considering they were only rehearsals and they were the first full ones for a month or so. We made the decision to only use the background with 'SEN' on as this was easier for Sam on the vision mixer and it still looked effective. During rehearsals I only made one mistake, this was putting the camera back down after the weather (as Sana was standing up and James was sitting at a desk) however I moved it back as soon as I saw it was wrong. Once we had the full rehearsals we changed a bit of the TV display. We also did about 4 weather rehearsals afterwards as the auto cue wasn't in time with the background video which meant Sana wasn't in time. We tried this differently with me giving Sana a countdown, telling her when to hurry up or slow down e.t.c We were running out of time so we had to go into the main show.
The main show went very well. James said the lines properly including the breaking news which he hadn't seen. Sana also spoke in time with the bluecreen background and Sam paused it on the vision mixer. As camera man, I adjusted the camera, followed the script with what the host was saying, I told the runners when to move the table and Dan when to change to 'Breaking News', I communicated with Nathan and Sam using the headsets and was able to give James and Sana a countdown and tell them how long they had left before the VT ended and also when to speak. This went well and was in time.
Everyone in the group performed well however Charlie wasn't in for the show and Alice was only in for the first half. We looked at the contingency plan and Becky (who was originally a runner), took over Charlie's job which she did really well and Nathan controlled the sound.
