Over the course of two days we were able to shoot both of my groups VTs, the VTs we shot were Online Fashion Fails, and Presenter Challenge. My role being camera operator for both, i knew i needed to be organised and on the ball as i didn't want to let my team down.
Pre-production
A script had been written by our producer of the VT group A, (Callum) our locations had been confirmed also by Callum & Laura, the presenter was ready for the shoot date too. I had been briefed on the shooting dates and what they would entail in terms of how & where we would be shooting, i feel its good to have some kind of insight into what you're going to be getting yourself into, so you can be as prepared as you can.
Production
The first shoot day came fast, myself, the director & sound assistant all had our hands full, it was a tough yet rewarding day. We managed to get all of the presenter challenge shot in one day. We had some difficulty with the white balance at one stage but I was able to figure it out by changing it manually. It has motivated to seriously get out a manual an start reading more in depth about the Panasonic DVX200s, they're beastly cameras that need controlling to get the best out of them! It was also an extremely bright day, so i was playing with the aperture a lot which i don't really like to do as it doesn't have a fluid aesthetic throughout, especially when you come back for the edit
Post-production
I wasn't really involved with the edit, but i was sent a few rough cuts throughout the edit process by amy to give some advice/feedback. I was happy with the general look and tone of the piece, it fitted what we were going for, especially the online fashion fails sequence.
(Presenter Challenge)
Watching the final sequence in motion is quite satisfying, looking back and seeing some shots that i wasn't too sure about, and obviously having no real input in the edit, it looks very professional and definitely fits the tones & aesthetic of our show.
