DovydasFilm/TVproduction

The location manager role was the primary role that I was assigned at the beginning of the live project; however, there were several other roles and tasks that I took on throughout the show; another smaller role that I took on during the show was lighting because no one had been assigned that role at the beginning. While working on the project, I also worked on the set and props, building a small part of the set and creating props, as well as taking on the responsibility of purchasing materials during the pre-production stage, working with sound, standing in and directing for a short period of time during the pre-production stage, working on the vt and creating 3d scans of the rooms.  location manager research   During the live project interview stage, I originally applied to do sound and be behind the scenes, but after the interview, I was given the role of location manager, which I believe was due to my previous experience. It was quite interesting to be given the role of lo...

At the start of the as live project, everyone had to come up with a live tv idea and prepare a presentation. This could be done individually or in pairs. The live tv idea had to be unique and could be done more than once, not just a one-episode show. After a little talk, me and Glenn decided to work together on this part of the project. I decided to look into the game show Wheel of Fortune for some inspiration when coming up with our idea. Wheel of Fortune is a British television game show in which contestants compete to solve word puzzles similar to the game of hangman in order to win cash and other valuable prizes. The game's title "wheel of fortune" refers to the wheel that is spun throughout the game to determine the amount of money and prizes that are won. Wheel of Fortune debuted in 1975 as an American game show, but it began airing in the United Kingdom on Itv in 1988. At the start of the UK version of Wheel of Fortune, it was very similar to the American version w...

In my opinion, this unit was very interesting and unique because it forced me to step outside of my comfort zone on numerous occasions, for which I am grateful. In this unit, I learned many new skills and refined some that I already owned. We were tasked at the start of the project with coming up with a live television idea that was both unique and achievable, and it had to be something that could be repeated several times. For this part of the project, Glenn and I collaborated to come up with an idea for the show. The first thing I decided to do was look into an antique episode of The Wheel of Fortune from 1995, which was hosted by both Nicky Campbell and Jenny Powell, with Steve Hamilton voicing the show's cutaways. I looked into these shows because I was thinking about doing something that might include a wheel spin in the game and just small clips that I had seen previously. After watching the episode, I realised how important the hosts of the show are. Jenny is a very confiden...

Directing/vision mixing One of the first workshops we had as a live unit was the vision mixing and directing workshop led by JG. A black magic vision mixer, a television screen, and three cameras were used in this experiment. JG demonstrated how live television works during this workshop, as the majority of us had never seen it before. JG demonstrated briefly how the director communicates with the vision mixer operator and how everything appears on the screen. Following that, everyone had the opportunity to try their hand at directing, vision mixing, being one of the three cameras, or even being a stand in. I didn't get a chance to direct the vision mixing that day because I was mostly on camera. However, observing the entire process was very interesting to me. Being on camera was very interesting because you always had to be on it when the director called out shots.  Even though I didn't get to direct that day, I was given the opportunity to do so later in the project when we ...

During the pre-production phase of this project, we were able to conduct a large number of test shoots. The majority of the test shoots took place in the library and gallery, which is fantastic because it allowed everyone to fully learn their roles. Additionally, because we had so many days where we could do test shoots, everyone had the opportunity to try out different roles when we had to switch roles. I think it was great that we were able to switch roles during production because it allows everyone to fully understand what everyone else is going through and what they need to do. I didn't have a set role during the filming at Uca because there wasn't much I could do, but as a result, I had the opportunity to do several different roles during that time and during the test shoot. One of the more common roles I played was that of a stand-in. Being a stand it gave other people the opportunity to test the entire flow of the production and figure out the timings of the show, which...
