Thursday 7th March
Today was the big day before film day, meaning that it is the last full day to ensure everything is check and ready to go.
This morning, I started off with completing a research pack for the hosts. For this, I gathered up information for each VT, for example, the New to Netflix segment, in which our guests (follow lecturers) Ingrid and Ryan talk about the new TV shows and movies that have come on to Netflix. So, on the research packs, we gave a short explanation on what the VT was going to be about and we listed each movie that was going to be mentioned and gave some background on them. We did this for all of the VT’s, just giving information for each one and what they were going to include, just so that the hosts weren’t completely clueless on what will be going on in the show.
Furthermore, the script supervisor finalised everything on the script and sent it through to the hosts, along with the research pack. We did this first thing in the morning so that they have more time to prepare for the show as we already sent it later than we said we would, so hopefully everything ill run smoothly with the presenters.
Furthermore, the floor manager started editing our In The Spotlight VT, which was overall quite simple as it only needed minimal editing.
Throughout the day, I started sourcing the clips for the VT’s and putting them into folders so that it would make it easier for the rest of the crew to find the clips.
