Journal Week Eight -Assessment #4 - Eighththth time in the studio - Interviewer

Well, it was with feelings of, "9 is really quite early" and "I can't believe its not butter", and lastly "I can't believe this is already the end of my first uni semester", I walked into the studio (about 1 minute late). Bruce was all like, "Yo yo my brotha you be trippin interviewer style". From this I gathered I was the interviewer. I was glad because I really hadn't had much sleep (I did have breakfast though Pat) and wasn't feeling my best.

My favourite thing about this show was that we did something we had never done before - we were told there would be a surprise, but I never expecting a plane crash, death, paris hilton (unfortunately not paris hiltons death) and live crosses. It certainly added excitement and a whole lotta fun to Hello Riverina, which was great because as I'm sure we'd all agree, it can get slightly repetitive, especially the 'Daddy, Daddy, come and look' song. Grrrr..... damn ernesto pineapple. So, what are my thoughts on the last assessment, and the last day of semester one?

THIS WAS THE BEST AND MOST FUN SHOW EVER!!!! OMG LOLXOR LMAO IT WAS SO COOL!!! PLANE CRASHES! LIVE CROSSES!!

It was totally awesome!

Everyone performed so well, we really were on the ball and we had lots of fun, and in the end produced the best effort we ever have and with awesome results! The show was awesome!

Journal Week Seven - Assessment #3 - Seventh time in studio - Stage hand

Ah.... well..... where to start. I was a cable basher/stage hand, which I thought would be a cushy job that was a bit boring, slow, and wouldn't require too much effort, but..... it didn't go that good, because as it turns out I was wrong. A stage hand must always be doing something, and as soon as they finish doing something, they have to check camera cables positions, make sure everything is right, move it if its not, and then move on to doing another job. It is a very busy role to be in. In my opinion, the two hardest jobs a stage hand has is cable bashing, especially when cameras have to do fast, or complicated moves, and also angling the cards for the cameras so they get the best light possible (it can be hard to hold the card constantly still).

Well, my performance was ok in the record and there weren't any problems, but before that in the final rehersal, right in front of Bruce, while I was helping one of the camera persons, one of the other camera cables I was watching fell out of its cradle holder thingy and the camera person on that camera moved the pedestal and ran over the cable.

Twice. (right in front of Bruce)

Then Bruce got medievil on my ass, oh the shame. My main thoughts (in order of size to me) are "OH MY GOD I SUCK AS A CABLE BASHER" and secondly, "That was a good show!"
