12/10/12 Task

This session consisted of reenacting mastermind. Each group swapped the roles around, these roles were researching, producing the film and being the contestants and host. This enabled us to see how television produces the programs we watch on a daily basis. 

Our group started with being the contestants and the host, this consisted of researching the contestants, and finding questions on their subject, which in our case was hockey and netball. The main point of this exercise was to keep to a certain time as this is an important part of multi camera. The next step was to choose different roles as we was in charge of the recording of the game show. I was on camera two, of three. We was instructed through the headset which enabled us to get the shot we needed. I fully enjoyed this experience, as this was the first time that I had been behind a multi camera. I didn't realise that this would be as easy as it was, I thought it would've of been more difficult.

Overall I fully enjoyed this exercise, it was interesting to see how a programme would be produced, from one scale to the other. By this I mean from the actors to the director. Everyone has an important role to undertake, which shouldn't be taken on likely. The reason behind this is because if someone makes a mistake, the rest of the team have to try and cover it. Time keeping is a very important factor.
