TV Module: Week 3

This week we started to put together a plan for the show's structure. We also decided between us all who would do what role, for instance there were four TV cameras which needed operating, two people needed for the sound desk, auto cue etc, as well as directors, floor manager and more. We also cast the roles of the girl, the three lads and the presenter. Alex was cast as the presenter, while our friend Laura was cast as the main girl. Craig from the course was cast as one of the contestants with his friend 'Matty' as the cocky guy and our friend Jake as the normal guy.

TV Module: Week 2

This week we spent a lot of time finalizing a name for the show. In the end we decided to call the show 'Date or Mate'. The rest of this lecture was spent being shown the equipment in the studio by lecturer Gary. This covered everything from the TV cameras in the studio to the autocue, the sound desk and everything else in the control room such as the camera switcher for the live output.

Starting the Television and Radio Broadcast Module

Today we had our first lecture of the Television and Radio Broadcast module. The module is split into two lots of 7 weeks. For us, the first 7 weeks involves putting together a live television show in the TV Studio to be recorded in the 7th week. The final 7 weeks, (three of which are before the Easter holidays), involves doing a live radio show to go out on Spark in the final week.

We spent most of the lecture coming up with an idea for the TV show we would do; we decided on a dating show which would involve one girl choosing between three guys.

Editing the Video

Due to the issues encountered in last week's lecture, I had to come into University today to edit my video. To make matters worse, my car went in for its MOT today, meaning I had to travel here by the Metro.

12th January - Editing The Video

Due to the problems that arose last week, I had to come into University today to edit my video. As my car was in for its MOT, I also had to take the Metro.

Week 13

Fresh back from Christmas, it was time to start editing my video. Unfortunately, beyond my control, the EditShare network went down across the University, meaning we were unable to access and edit any video this lecture.
