Production Diary

Wednesday the 27th

Today we prepped the studio and I used the camera to find the most optimal settings. I used the aperture to make sure it was all in focus and had the right lighting and settings for filming in the studio . On the set we used hard and soft lighting to set up the cameras so on the day nothing would conflict with the spacing and look good. We did this to create a floor plan with the lighting techs so we would have a plan of what would happen on the day. How to set it up correctly. Then we got the set designers to make sure the set was correct and at a good distance from the cameras

Thursday the 28th

Today we started the shot list which included, the description shot order and sound accompanying. We progressed quite far as the list was now half finished, the shots just need more descriptions but overall there has been a high standard of work. Now I am updating preproduction to make sure the entirety of it is complete and is to a high standard and to shows how much work I have put into this product.

Friday the 1st

Today we finished the shot list it is to a high standard and has a decisive wording and a good inclusive shot description the final product is to a high standard of work this was achieved by us because we thoroughly checked our work and went over it with 2 different people.

Monday the 4th

We shot the reel list although there was a setback. We have all the stuff we need to use even though some of the audio went missing. We have what we can replace it and use our time to finish the work in time for the final product.

Wednesday the 6th

We shot the rehearsal for the main show we had a few problems with scripts. My camera ran out of battery right before filming but overall it was a success with the floor plan done and the shot list finished we have no paperwork and preproduction is officially over

Thursday the 7th

Today I updated my blogs to include all of the other tasks I have helped or completed on the side. Today i went over all the previous work and added context to the previous work making sure it was all finished. I also helped in planning the set for Friday

Friday

We filmed the main show and with Callie and Redmond. I was the main camera operator and supposed to do camera 5 as well but, Katy wasn’t filming, so we used her instead this meant one of the cameras were unattended but it wasn’t used much after that so it would be fine

Monday

We started editing, we used a multi-camera format on premier pro. This was a challenge since we had too use the same folder for all our assets, when it was already struggling to play the multi-cam. We have finished a fair amount of the work there is only a small amount that is currently a problem but it will soon be finished

Wednesday

I have,for all intensive purposes, finished editing there is only exporting to finish and after that i only have to put it on YouTube, copy the link, put it on a word document, the blog and finally put the word document in my drive. I will then not have to any more work on the clips

Friday

Everything is finished, I make a mistake with the file format but it didn’t take long to correct although i took a while to realise.
