Hello Riverina - Snd Assist

I think todays Hello Riverina could be the best one we've done, and we saved the best till last. I had no problems today being the Sound Assistant and my Sound Superviser was spot on, if we made any mistakes i think they were very minor such as forgetting to put the levels up for a sound effect such as clapping but other then that i think we went really well.

This week we had new music which through me off at first because i wasnt expecting it, but it was a good change because im sure we can all now sing the ernesto pineapple song which can be a really annoying thing.

Coming in for rehearsal the day before really helped me and i noticed the people that came in went alot better today and i think it was because they had practiced earlier.

The DA and FM today were really clear and loud and were quite good in their respective roles and made it alot easy for the show to run. The cameras went well and pulled off all of their shots and it looked quite good on the final record.

In the control room, the graphics were really good and so was the CCU, and the VM maybe could do with a bit more practice but still went quite well.

Overall i think we did save the best till last and today went quite well and smooth.

Hello Riverina - Cam 1

This week i really enjoyed being on camera, i feel like i went really well and rehearsals are really paying off. I new how to set up camera and i work out most of my shots, there were a few times where i was a bit lost with the new script as i didnt have a shot list but that was quickly sorted.

This week i think we went well, especially with the new script and the stagger through wasnt so much a stagger through as we all new what to do and worked really well. There were a few glitches with sound in the final record but i think we all did really well.

I think with some more practice i will be able to get most of the camera down-pat, although i found the moving shots challenging i think i pulled them off well and will be rehearsing them for next semester.

This week i had an advantage having the cans on because i could here the control room, and it all seemed to be going smoothly in there and everyone knew what they were doing. Hopefully next week we can get it all right next week.
