This weeks friday class saw us try something different, we did a show that involved a cooking segment and another ad lib interview. I was on camera for this one, and it was different then Hello Riverina because with the cooking show there were things like ingredients and bowls that you had to provide a lot of different close shots for so the audience could see what was going in the food and what was going on. Initially there was a lot of confusion over the placement of cameras, sets, and cables, and although the people in the studio knew what the problem was, we were having trouble communicating this to the director, and it wasn't until they came on the floor that they realised what we were talking about, but it was all ok in the end. I was a stagehand for the second run through, and I didn't make the mistakes that I made the first time I was placed in this role. The second run through seemed to go a lot smoother than the first.In respect of preparations for the Kids Show, people are starting to talk about having large group meetings to make sure everyone knows everyone and our respective roles, which I guess will be really beneficial if we do have the meetings because we really do need to prepare for the Show. I have been working with Final Cut Pro a lot during time off to acquaint myself with it better, and get used to using it. It's good becuase I'm beginning to learn a couple of cool tricks with it, and I've also found out that it can do a lot more than I initially thought it could, such as super-imposing and altering images over footage, and a lot of complex colour corrections and things like that.
I still haven't found out whats going to happen with the insert that I missed, a couple of guys were talking about possibly reshooting it, which would mean that I could just do my original role, but people are pretty busy with the Kids Show at the moment, so I don't really know if we'll be able to find a time that is suitable for everyone.
