Stagehand

Hey, today was really great!! i really enjoyed myself today and i think everyone else would have aswell. I really liekd how jeff spiced it up a bit by adding the extra scene. It really did wake everyone up and lift their game. i thought chloe and lauren did really well at ad libbing the extra scene. i thought David was also a good newsreader and interviewer. I liked the factthat tday was a little more challenging, with the cameras having to do extra moves. It kept Lauren and i on our feet pretty much the whole time. Overall it was agreat day, and by far the best time i've had in the studio so far!

Camera 3

Hey, this week i was on CAM 3...i liked it. i liked how steve asked us to do extra shots...i had to do an over shoulder 2 shot, which i got the hang of after bruce showed me how to get the camera into the right position easily. Before that i was having trouble getting the shot quickly, becasue i didn't knwo how to move the camera in the best way.

i think i need ot prectise moving the zoom, pan, and tilt really slowly. i would know what i had to d but kept jerling the camera bit while trying to get it.

I thought Pat was a really good floor manager, he was loud and kept us all informed on what was happening.

Teleprompter

Last friday i was telepromter..i really liked that job, i found it pretty easy. i didnt really know how to set it up and turn it on and stuff, but once it was goign it was fine (oh and i know how to set it up now). i noticed that there were mistakes through the script on the computer so i read through it and fixed it up, it took awhile, but i got it done it time. It took a bit to get used to the knob thing aswell that makes the script scroll, but after a few minutes of practisng, i got the hang. Lauren was having a bit of trouble on one of the words in the script (apache'), i remebered the week before pat or bruce saying that you can change the words in the script to make them easier for a presenter or whatever to read, so i did.

I thought Jarrad was a really good floor manager, he seemed to have things under control, and by the recording, everything was pretty much right on the floor.

DA

This week i was DA...it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. It took a bit of time getting used to it. I foudn it a bit tricky counting down the graphics...was alright when bruce told me to start from 7 after calling the shot and what camera was next..Jeff was a good director, he really pushed everyone. Oh another thing i foudn tricky was counting down the vtrs down. i guess i just am not great at counting down things. Yeah i did feel everyone work as a team more this week. When i found out we were getting new scripts i was a little aprehensive, but things went alright considering.

Presenter

Today i was presenter for hello riverina....it wasn't too bad...i found it easier than all other jobs ive done...less stressful. all i had ot do was read form the teleprompter..and know when i was cmoing up, which was fine. The red light which tells you who is on air is a good invention.

Studio VM & CAM 1

Hey! well today i was vision mixer. i didn't mind it too much. I stuffed up a few times but all round it was alright. Pat and Bruce said to start writing diary entries about each lesson, so i thought cool, why not kill two birds or assignments with one stone and write on here each time.Seeing as i didnt write about my last role the day i had it, i'll write about it here too..well i was on camera 1. it was challenging goign from position c to b...only 10 seconds to do it...stuffed that up a few times...also the final shot was pretty difficult.Bruce said i did alright but, so that was good :)
