Really enjoyed my first TV studio session yesterday; we have a really strong team in Group B including a visiting MA Broadcast Journalism student which is great because poor Group A did not have enough members whereas we have the right amount to create a really good 30 min programme.
However, I think we are going to need all the teamwork and support we can get from each other over the next three weeks in order to get the programme made because the show spectacularly clashes with the end of shooting and whole post-production process.
As Director, I am really excited to get the opportunity to work in the studio gallery but I am a bit apprehensive about succinctly communicating with the cameras to let them know what shots I will need. It seems to me that time is of the essence even more so than out on drama or documentary productions.
‘Lights’ wrapped on Friday and we completed the full shot list despite my worries that we would not; there was a point when we were running disconcertingly behind!
Also, we achieved all of the more challenging shots in the storyboard such as the blackout and the flickering light bulbs. Big achievement all round.
I have now been shooting for nine days straight on three different drama projects and have only one more day to go on ‘Me & My Bro’ which Christine kindly gave me the opportunity to 1st AD on. It is really great experience and it is really interesting to observe how other crews and individuals work.
One more day to go!
