Yesterday we were once again in the studios, however it was far more intense this week especially within the practical component of the studio. Our group began in a room by ourselves, working together in discussion as we formulated the script. What order to run the different stories in, how to make them flow, and our key jokes. We then caught up with Leo and filled him in on how our group was traveling, he was somewhat relieved to hear that we were up and running, making some good progress. We also did a timed read through infant of him and it was recorded at 6 minutes. Which is too long however isn’t hard to fix, just need to the condense the script now into 4 minutes. We went then finally ended up in Studio A. We decided to have our  talent stand during the segment, her background appears an empty studio, a ladder, camera and green screen is featured around her. We also decided to start the segment with her walking in through a wide shot and immediately staring at another camera to begin her proclamation which is a close up shot. We got into our positions and began practicing the segment, trialling new ideas, our talent got to read the script through auto cue for the first time (this was challenging for her however, and we had to stop and start again many times, but you know what they say practice makes perfect) and also got to get more into depth within our production roles.  However there was some good and bad news. the Bad news is our segment must be filmed and presented our next studio class, this is bad news because it’s very soon and there’s still a lot to do. The good news is that our group works hard, and i know we can do this comedy news segment to a high standard whatever the odds, also Jai gave me some free thins bread (YAY GO JAI!)
