Reflection

Multi camera production reflection

 

1. Have you completed your share of the planning?
   I have completed my share of the planning and I was given the responsibility of doing the research as well as the location recce.
    
2. Has your team completed planning for your production? If not what is missing?
   We have still got a lot to plan out for example we need to work a lot more on the questions as well as how the answers will be revealed. We also need to work out what the winning team will get as a prize. The script is still to be done due to having to change things around a lot to make it less completed during the final production of the show.
    
3. Do you think you pulled your weight in the group during the planning phase?
   I have worked hard when it came to the planning phase as i took over certain tasks for example I had to work on the name , the logo and the colour scheme of the show as well as how the furniture and items we will be using will be set out. I also wrote the questions which was a backup.
    
4. What have your strengths been whilst developing your studio production?
   I think my strengths were developing ideas further or finding replacements for example I had to write questions which was used for back up. Moreover, I was also able to sit with each and every person in my group to work out how we can make something better or what they thought of an idea which helped me for the research evidence as their opinions and thoughts helped me work out what content would be better for the show.
    
5. What do you think you need to work on in terms of planning/pre – production and working as part of a team?
   I think I need to change my pre- production a bit more as Alex has changed her mind on certain things as it was her initial idea meaning that I had to change things in my pre-production that I already completed. I also think that when it comes to working as a team we need to make sure that everyone is sure of the idea and how things are going to work when it comes to filming the show as when we rehearsed for it some of us were still confused about what was going to happen or when each thing was going to take place.
    
6. What different roles have you tried in the studio and which role did you enjoy the most?
   I have tried the roles of being a floor manager, vision mixer and working the teleprompter. I have enjoy being the floor manager and the vision mixer the most as I felt as if I could do it better than working on another role for example when it came down to being the floor manager I felt like it was a lot easier for me to be communicating with everyone which helped things run smoothly. I also enjoyed being the vision mixer as working alongside the director to see how and when to change cameras or add transitions was a good experience especially when it was my first time. Another reason I enjoyed being the vision mixer was because I had the choice of what transitions of things I can add to make the show better, the director also gave me ideas.
    
7. What do you want to work on in the studio?
   I think I want to try and work on the other roles as well for example working behind the camera or even the sound as I haven’t tried it yet.
    
8. What are the strengths of your team?
   The strength of my team involves making decisions together so that we all know how it might affect everyone instead of making a decision without everyone knowing about it for example when the idea changed a bit or even when we were discussing the prize for the winning team, we had a group meeting where we all tried to think of ideas together instead of it being made between 2 or 3 people.
    
9. What does your team need to work on in the studio to be more professional?
   I think we need to discuss how we want things to be ran with the people that will be on our game show first as we always find it difficult to communicate with the people that are taking part in it. We also need to have a group meeting where we tell each other what will take place and when as well working on communicating with each other better.
    
10.  How have you managed your time in terms of meeting deadlines and producing work for this project?
    I have managed my time in terms of meeting deadlines and producing work for this project by setting myself a target on what I am going to achieve or what I will get done by what date so that I am not behind on something. Furthermore, if an idea was changed I always make sure I change my pre-production work around so that it can be handed in. I always try to make sure the work I need to do is done on time as sometimes people in my team have to do their pre-production work or planning based on the work I do meaning that I have to finish mine off by a specific so that it’s not putting everyone else down.
     
11. How have you managed your time in terms of the project, attendance and punctuality?
    I have managed my time by making sure I am not late to lessons especially when there are group meetings and work that has to be done and handed in. I have also been down for all the lesson so that I am not missing out on anything.
     
12. In what ways have you been organised for this project?
    I have been organised for this project by making sure that I am in for all the lesson on time and putting in a high amount of involvement as well as completing my work and other tasks on time.
     
13. How could you be more helpful to your team for this production?
    I can be more helpful towards my team by thinking of solutions for the things we might be finding difficult or by working alongside other team members who are finding it hard to do something.
     
14. What are the weakness of your team?
    I think the weakness of my team is explaining what is happening to each other or to the people that are taking part in the show as not explaining things always cause problems when we get into the studio as everyone starts to get confused at some point.
     
     
15. What grade do you think you deserve for unit 23 and why?
    I think I deserve a D because I personally feel like I put in a lot of effort in as well as even helping with other team member’s work and roles as well as trying out new roles I haven’t done before and working appropriately with it.
     
16. What grade do you think you deserve for unit 4 and why?
    I think I deserve a D/M as I managed my time well as I haven’t been absent or late to any lessons which means I didn’t miss out on anything which could have gone on to help me with my other work.
