This week it was my groups turn to film our final fact check brief piece. We were up first which I was pleased about but also a bit nervous as I knew with 3 groups filming, we would be cut off at a pretty strict deadline in order for others to film. I think everything ran relatively smoothly for our group for several reasons. Firstly we chose not to have any EVS or graphics footage edited in throughout filming. We made this decision after seeing multiple issues arise for the groups in week 1 and we didn’t want to have to keep retaking scenes purely because of misplaced graphics or incorrect timing. This therefore allowed Roie to be able to take it slower and relax when reading the script and we could retake segments if she stumbled on a word or two. Secondly I think we all did a great job in the roles we were in. As floor manager it was at times stressful having to keep everything organised on the floor. Unfortunately I don’t feel that other class members were always as respectful as they could have been, with there being a lot of talking and camera operators not wearing their headsets which meant I had to waste time having to relay Alex’s messages to them. However I think Alex and I worked really well together, I found all her feedback clear and easy to communicate to Roie who always took it on quickly and was ready to keep filming straight away. Of course in an ideal world we would have been able to film for longer but given the time period we had I was really pleased with my group for just getting the job done.
