Production SOCIAL CHALLENGE

7/2/17

Our group set up swiftly and were all set in places to do a run through before filming the show, the contestants had to film their segments before going live so we were able to add them in production and so there was no issues while in production.

While doing the run through myself as Director and vison mixer discovered the panning shots of the host did not work 100% of the time for the show and so we left the shots as a static shot and crossed over to each camera when the shot was set up well. We made do without a 3rd camera man on set which is why it was much easier to film static shots, this issue was rectified before starting filming.

As a group the production during the run through was okay, everybody knew what was happening but a few issues discovered were Sound - Music not being played at correct time, Floor - Audience applause happening late/ Contestants talking when should not be.
We corrected in feedback this before filming the production of the show we added the college logo to the tables and round cards for the host, also making sure Zak(sound) had the music up and ready before press to play, the lights were in sync and I was able to count down to the vision mix desk during breaks and live game timing. I announced throughout the show to floor manager (Maarya) to gesture to the contestants to not move around to much on camera, the being said we would change shot on the vision mixer if this occured throughout the show.

My role in directing was successful as we finished the game on time including all parts, the contestants and crew all knew what they were doing as much as I could help. I felt I gave a lot to the team answering questions and making sure they were able to understand what I wanted. An area I could improve on would be to communicate better with the other side maybe by holding a small meeting rather than mentioning information before we begin to shoot. Overall the game show came together well once we corrected our mishaps.
