Friday 27th February
Today, I managed to complete my risk assessment. I came up with over 10 risks/hazards that could be possibility on the show and explained ways in which these could be prevented and if they were to happen, what further action would be put in place. After completed this, I moved on to working on the location recon’s, in which I find the information on the places that we will be filming in, so far, the locations we have set in is the college’s studio and Fareham High Street, in which the Remake VS Original VT will be taking place. We are still yet to decide on more filming locations for the show but we know for certain that the studio is the main and most important location; we have to focus on making everything looking as good as possible. Furthermore, the floor manager, also created the call sheets that will be needed on the day of filming. As we starting coming up with ideas for what we want to do with the set on Wednesday, the set designers have begun planning further by creating mood-boards and scouting for different items. I have also helped with giving them ideas for what we want to use on the set in addition to possibly using a red and black colour scheme, as I believe this suits the Hollywood and movie theme that we are going for. Furthermore, the lighting crew have also begun experimenting with different types of lighting, colours and tones, etc. that we could use on the show day.
Furthermore, we met the performing arts students who would be playing the roles of our presenters on the show, Callie and Redmond. They came to meet the managerial team of the show (producer, director, production and floor manager), so that we could explain the context behind the show to them and what they should be expecting from us and what they should be delivering for us. We took them to the studio to show them around and explained where their main presenting areas should be. We set up a version of set with the lights, sound equipment, props, etc. just so that they could properly understand what the set is going to look like. Furthermore, we set up the cameras so that we could see how the lighting would appear in the footage and adjusted anything that looked incorrect. We also set the microphones up on the hosts to test the sound quality, we didn’t properly go through a rehearsal as unfortunately, we did not have the script to give to them today but we explained that we will hopefully have it to them as soon as it has been completed. We also answered any questions they had then as this is only time we will be seeing them until the live show date, 8th March.
I updated our social media accounts today by doing live streams around the studio while we were setting the equipment up. In addition to this, I posted pictures of the pre-production that I was completing on our story to show the audience the process of the work being done.
