Production Diary for Multi-Camera Production
(a)
Tuesday 25th Feb -
We found out who was in our group, and then got together and discussed ideas. It went well.
Wednesday 26th Feb -
Another group discussion, ran through some examples of multi-camera production in the studio, which were fun and got us really hyped for the project we're doing! We had an idea but we're still in disagreement over it.
Thursday 27th Feb -
Working on pitch which is due in on Friday.
Friday 28th Feb -
Group discussion doing work for the pitch. We now have a clear idea which we have all decided on which is the news idea.
Tuesday 4th March -
Group discussions, and mind map completed.
Wednesday 5th March -
Planned out the set design.
Thursday 6th March -
Forward planning sheets, studio work, floor plan completed (lights, cameras, seating) Questions for vox pops.
Friday 7th March -
Co tinted with the script, set layout, logo designs and music progress. We sorted out our folders and added to the questions that will be used in the show.
Tuesday 11th March -
Continued with script went to the set and set up lights, made sure it's all sorted. We also did our first run through of the show. Also other things like the music and planning shooting dates (tomorrow) for vts.
Wednesday 12th March -
Ash and Izzy went to film some of the vox pops which we lost the SD card several days later.
Thursday 13th March - Enterprise week
Wednesday 19th March -
Vox pops filmed, had another practice/run through of the show, we were testing the show for the two presenter format, which we had doubts about at first, but it was our original idea and when we ran through it and it worked really well. The script had to me adjusted slightly because the questions that we were asking the students in studio were the same as the questions that we were asking students in the vox pops . we lost the sd card so we had to film some more vox pops and presenter links with izzy and Alice.
Thursday 20 March -
Filmed a lot of vox pops today for the vt about enterprise week. Finished the script and progressed on set design (completely changed the whole thing).
Tuesday 26th March -
We filmed the production on Tuesday. We recorded the whole thing on the first take. The production went really well, the only thing that let it down was the guests. Our choice in guests could've been better.

- What was your role and what were your responsibilities?
My role was the sound desk, setting up the lights, hot heads, camera positioning, set layout (chairs, table, set boxes etc) stage plan, partly helped with the script, part editing of the VTs (critical last minute edit before shoot), setting up microphones, sound checks, on camera with Izzy doing vox pops (which we lost), parts of the set design, getting plants for the set and setting up all the cameras on the day (white balance, exposure, framing etc).
- How well did you carry out the tasks you were allocated?
I feel like I carried out my tasks well, but at times I lacked the motivation to help as a team, which was due to some unhealthy relationships in the group and some personality clashes. I think for me personally I could've been a better leader, as sometimes the group lacked guidance. All the practical tasks that I was allocated turned out very well done in the end. The sound at the time of the shooting was good.
- How well did you work as part of the team?
As I mentioned above, we could've worked better as a team if it wasn't for a strong personality clash in the group. I think that in a professional situation if there was such a clash then they would just have to put it behind them and get on with the task that they have been allocated and not let it affect their profession work.
- How could your contribution have been improved?
I feel as though I could've been more motivated and worked harder at times, and I personally could've worked to bring peace to the group as I think this was a critical matter in the turnout and the quality of the production.
- Looking at the P3, M3, and D3 criteria, what criteria do you think you have achieved? Try to justify this grade honestly with reference to the way you performed in your operational role.
Looking a the criteria, I think that I have achieved a merit. I think that individually I needed some assistance at times but generally I worked to a good technical standard, because of my roles such as sound, camera setup and set planning. These things were critical to our group and helped maintain the good technical standard.
