Practise Production 3 - SOCIAL CHALLENGE
To begin I had all videos and pictures synced to the vision mixer via AirDrop, the first issue we had was the application not being updated for our content.
As director I continued in order not to waste time. I didn't start till the floor manager confirmed all was ready then we began.
Our run through went very well but our show was 11 minutes long. We had 3 games rather than 4 and did 2 rounds in the first game. Next time we shall do all games and rounds and play in the videos and images sent from their ipad.
We then had a feedback meeting at the end of production, issues mentioned were
Myself and Keeley- Keeley now has the Teleprompter role and PA timing of show we went over the script to break down timings and now reached 18 minutes giving us more time and time to add in an advert.

- To use the ident in live vision mix
- To stick to the time of script (added Changes)

Practise Production 3 - SOCIAL CHALLENGE
I began it with a small briefing on those in my group on their roles and the updates from the last time we rehearsed.
Such as cameramen and the new roles which had changed due to complications of added sound.
Victor - Sound Mixer
Keeley - PA
We ran through the game show twice, I began the show once receiving the all clear from the floor manager via my mic system.
We started with the music and lights which is being recorded separately on the mixing desk, I had to communicate with floor manager and camera men for when to begin speaking. Any changes and to keep the look of the show the same.
The challenge of this show was to keep a focus on the sound as the cast kept moving the ipad and created a noise. We made sure it was useable for them.
The issues to fix would be to make sure the tasks are done before filming and sent to put in the vision mixer, the logo and keep to the sound secure. We would need to find out how to record and sync up the show as a whole with the edits recording live.

After our run through in the studio we had a short meeting discussing issues and corrections for the next step.
ISSUES MENTIONED:
- 4th Ipad Vision Mix, not to click off the app
- Teleprompter up and running to practise with - Host to learn his parts also
- Cameramen need to study shot list
FEEDBACK:
- Sound - separate sound, get a jingle
- Get footage from Ipad/Saved
- Handheld camera to get shots of guests on their game and ipad.
Practise Production - SOCIAL CHALLENGE
Run through in the STUDIO
This was another runthrough for our group Social Challenge.
We began to set up, the tripods, Ipads, set of tables and chairs. Once this was sorted I then spoke to all members separately to clarify what I wanted, I directed the cameramen to the exact shot I wanted on the actual screen. In order to do this a shot list was given to each camera operator which we had i this session. My floor manager was there on hand liaising with the team and sound/lighting people
After this I then had to take it into my hands to show the sound and lighting people what was needed and how to use the equipment such as the lighting person, just to get the fade in and out after setting up the lights to the right level; just by bringing down the grand master. Similarly to the applause on sound, by bringing down the volume level for a nice fade out which sounded much better than an abrupt end.
The guests, host and game were running smoothly and so was cameramen and vision mix. The issue I had was the continuity of shots and the angles for all 3 cameras this was due to the levels of the tripods next time we will make sure to keep them at the closest level as they are not all the same make. An idea we had was to save the actual videos and content made and edit in post production just the same as the sound.

Practise Production - SOCIAL CHALLENGE
In this session, we were shown how to use 'MULTICAM-REC' via our ipad on a multicam set up of 4 IPADS.
3 Cameras and 1 Visual Mixer display.
1 for a Teleprompter.
I learnt how to setup the monitors syncing them up via a network server once connected we then had a go on filming and vision mixing. It was clear on how to use and as director I picked it up quite quickly. The 3 cameramen were able to look at the software to become more aware of it. In order to go live you have to tap to preview then double tap to select it.

Practise Production - SOCIAL CHALLENGE
This was the first day in the studio, I began with setting up the set using what was available for the time being to get a good idea. Then we selected our cast for the show, I held a small meeting discussing with everyone involved with the structure and content for the show.
As director for the show, I made sure everyone was in their place for the practise run including all 3 cameramen with their ipads collecting shots. We practised with the lighting and spacing on set which all worked out well.
Issues that occurred were having 2 other people in the team on board with their roles, we corrected this by doing a run through. Also, the HDMI with the ipad would need to be sorted whether we edit in the footage after or allow the guest to plug it into their ipad.
