The week before Christmas everyone was able to pick a
project they wished to take part in, I chose to take part in the two week live tv
project. The brief was that we had to create a arts show which fulfilled
certain briefs. Working in a team of 15 we chose to base our TV show around
Jack the Ripper and how he is a future body artist who took influence from Sarah
Lucas who at the time had an exhibition at the Whitechapel gallery, we took all
this information to create the basis of the TV show.
Once the basic skeleton was create we made timelines and a rough script to then rehearse with our actors. We then had a chance to have a go at a rotation where we get to have a chance to try out various sections of the process which are integral to making a TV show. First of all we had a talk about lighting and due to health and safety we were not able to actually use the lighting rigs however we talked about the moods and how it is vital to setting a mood, next was the cameras, we were taught how to focus a camera and the different types, after the camera workshop we were able to see what the production assistant and the director do when up in the gallery, we also were taught how scripts are created and the right software to put them on. After this we had a chance to see what happens within the sound booth, getting taught what happens and what button to press to fade the sound over and all sorts.
Once this day was over we had the other half of the day to rehearse and plot where the actors were meant to be and the other cues for the lighting and such, due to having a short period of time we struggled to complete a full run through in that one day, however on the next day we had the first half of the day to attempt to do a full run through, however one actor was late and we could not do anything without them, a problem which would be faced in the real world, so while we waited we set up and made up the other two actors and continued to wait and then it was time to record it live...
after several tries of the start of the show and a multiple shots of the ending the end result was a positive one, even though we made several changes the show still remained to the main style of how we wished for it to turn out like.
