Me and jessica got to work on our set design in which jessica brought 4 boards in which we stuck records and CD's we collected from home so we could hang them up on the right and the left side of the set , in the middle of the set at the back i brought some album art in which i stuck record covers i collected onto the walls and spreaded then out to create a retro look on the set. While filming i was on Camera one focusing on karina mostly capturing a mid close up of her face and body language while presenting. For the performance area me and jessica had to change the set in which we moved the sofas, table, and television to the sides and used CD's that were hanging of wires in which we made hanging behind the performer creating almost like a disco ball effect with the lights of and red light , that was very pretty and professional looking. We set the mic int he middle and also for our second act was an keyboard player we decorated the keyboard to fit in with the background spreading out the CDS all over her keyboard. Again i was on Camera one focusing on the performers facial expressions and playing around with the shots to make them more interesting and blend in nicely with the other shots.
Preparation of the set

The boards we made.


The wall with the records with the hanging boards hung by wire hanging up infront


Overall the experience was Helpful and i really enjoyed and gained knowledge in job roles and how stressful an multi camera production is!.

The set layout/easter holidays

Before the aster holidays we came to a decision in what our layout for our show would be,
as you can see from the photos on the far right of the studio we will have where the artists play so we have the stage , in the middle is where the interviews will take place with the guests sitting on the right sofa and Karina our presenter sitting on the left sofa interviewing them, and on the far left we are still deciding whether to proceed with our quiz podium area in which ill keep you posted :).

Multi Camera Techniques

Yesterday our class was split into two Groups for our last Project Multi Camera Techniques. Sean was the director of our group, Jessica the producer, Karina the Presenter, Phil the visual mixer me, fran, and dan Cameras.
The name of our show is New Flavor
And our slogan is "New flavor, New style, New generation"

 We first discussed what we wanted our show to be about in which we came up with a music based chat show that would involve interviewing Unsigned/Signed Artist, live performances, and a Quiz.
The order in which we wanted this to be in is..

Opening sequence
Intro ( jingle)
First interview
Quiz
Performance
Second interview ( producer)
Have people contact the shower either by phone/webcam asking questions
Show The producer music video
Then this will be repeated again the with the third guest

For the backdrop, stage area of the show Sean decided that me and jess would be in charge of that in which we will design a banner and we also came up with an idea for the backdrop using records/cds sticking them on to the backdrop which would be either white or black . the theme is red,black, and white.
Fran would Write the script for Interview questions and Karina introducing the show.

There is still more we need to think about in which we will discuss next week.
