Assignment 4: Part 1
For our final project, I was lucky to get both my highest preferences: during the 1st week of filming I will be taking on a role of a floor manager, and during the 2nd week I will be a lighting technician. Both weeks I will be operating in a studio A.
During a crew meeting today we brainstormed many great ideas and concepts for our final show, and so far it looks like we will be developing a breakfast-talk show. To be honest, I am have never watched this type of talk shows, and I’m not even sure I have ever heard of it at all, so it will be particularly exciting for me to work on a type of show I am not familiar with. Thankfully, I am not involved in pre-production at all, and I have plenty of time to catch up and fully understand that concept. So far, there were talks of a news segment and audience interaction, and I also think someone knows a band that we can bring in for an interview. I too have previously worked with a local band called “Soft Corporate”, but they are always very busy and I am not sure I would be able to get them if needed. It is still good to know we have a potential backup. Nonetheless, the rest of the crew is as excited and motivated as I am. Our writers and producers are already starting to work on the scripts, so, hopefully, there will be no delays or major issues.
Since I am not a part of pre-production, in the next couple of weeks I will be focusing on a deeper research of the roles of a floor manager and a lighting technician: I want to be as prepared as possible on the filming day. I am also going to familiarise myself with a concept of a breakfast talk show for a better understanding of the whole process.
