The day before, our group went in to set up for the show. We wanted it to look feminine but also sleek, so men wouldn't switch off because it looked too 'girly'. We wanted it also to look bright and happy to promote a positive image of sport and make people feel almost energised watching it. Whilst helping to make all the decisions of the set, it made me realise that the image of the show is just as important as the content because if the show looks rubbish to the viewer, they will be more likely to switch over. I was really proud of the finished product because it looked like a professional studio and looked great on camera.
Here is a photo of what our studio looked like:
I then went home and wrote the camera script that the director was going to use to direct us on the cameras. I found it hard at first but once I got into it it wasn't so bad. I'm really happy that I had the opportunity to do this because it allowed me to have an insight into another area of the TV industry. Looking back at it, I don't think directing is for me because I found it really difficult to work out what the cameras would look best filming at that specific time
When it came to the actual filming of the show, I was feeling pretty nervous as I'd never done anything like this before but thankfully we had a few practice runs. When we all felt confident enough we went straight ahead and filmed 2 versions of the real thing. It went amazingly well and I was really proud of all of our group. I loved being floor manager, ensuring the studio was safe and cuing the presenter and guest on and is definitely something I would love to do again. This was my favourite thing I have done on the course so far and made me realise that I would love to do this as a job.
