Back again in the studio. We spend the first two hours of the class going through the weeks reading once again. However it isn’t until we get to the practical component that the class becomes much more interesting. The class begins with us getting into our ‘Tough on Crime’ comedy news group. My group (Group B) started off with Leo discussing the script. however we ran into some problems, as we had a lot of ides for our segment but didn’t have a clear contention we wanted to portray to our audience. We discussed ideas of how to lay out our script, when to talk about APEX, patrol, fear psychology and the mobster concept. Then we met up with Ruth and started blocking our segment, giving each other production roles. I am the Director of the segment and we’ve decided to block our talent standing up in the segment as this opens her up to more possibilities to act out her scripting. We then caught up with the man teaching us the sound devices, learning about the different types of microphones, how to put on talent microphones and how to use the sound control box.
