Post production notes

floor plan

This is my rough idea of a floor plan for culture city on it it has all the shots we shall be using for each camera but because my hand writing is unclear it is not as neat as a usual one should be however it does have all the shots that should be used and where they can move etc.

Studio protocool

with in the studio there are certain rules that the crew should follow:

no food or drink in the studio because if they spill it could mess up some of the very expensive equipment such as cameras and microphones etc also there is a risk of being electrocuted .

no running in the studio because you could trip over the cables causing an injure to your self.

do not mess around on the cans/headset or do not use them for general chat because it may disrupt communication between floor manager or director and could cause extra stress with in the studio

no one should be in the studio unless they are required to be there because it can cause disruption and interrupt filming also everything would run smoother with less people as possible.

Director and directing calls

the director calls the shots within the show if the director needs to talk to any one on the floor he speaks to the floor managers who portray the message to the studio floor also the director also speaks to each camera operator too look at what shots he wants from them also if he wants them to move the camera he decides want shots look best via the directors monitors on the floor. he also ask the camera operators to ped, crab and track with there camera's

also the director tells the vision switcher on witch camera to go to next he also tell the DVD operator when to roll the DVD in to the show.

what we learned from techinical rehearsals

what we learned from these reheasals that our buzzer's which were 2 squeeky dog toys they sounded to similar and it was to hard to make to decided which team buzzed in first, so we solved this problem by replacing one of the toys with a small bell, also we learned that the running order and script was all mixed up so the V.T's were playing in the wrong places.

however we learned from these problems and managed to sort his problem by having all the round producers sit down and have sort the srcipt which ensured the show ran smoothly on the day.

DVD and inserts

Operating the DVD is the most important part of the entire quiz show because it has all the V.Ts opening titles credits and any stings that we need to put on our show. The DVD operator has to insert the V.T's in to the correct place because of the show because

When making visual inserts they should all be same made of the screen ratio 16:9 and all the same file type should be made as PAL. Another thing to remember is when making inserts try to make them about 7 seconds in length, 1 second of black at the beginning 5 seconds of video and another 1 second of black at the end. this ensures that the director and the vision mixe has time to cut in to the V.T and also gives them time to cut out

Planning audio coverage

to plan this we had to find the right levels for the microphones we attached wirreless radio mics to each stand in guest real contestents and host, then in the sound room we had to do mic checks were each person with a microphone had to speak for 60 seconds in there normal speaking voice so the sound mixers could get the right levels for each guest.

to pick up the audiecne sound such as clapping and cheers we had mics hanging from the the rig to pic uip audience applause.

the camera crew each had a headset which enabled them to speak to the floor manager and audio and vision rooms also the floor manager has a headset which he or her could move round the studio freely.
