Radio Module: Week 2

This week we were able to choose our own groups. This was much better than the TV module as it meant we could choose people we knew would be reliable and hard working in our groups. Our group consisted of myself, Alex, Ellie, Emma and Liam. We then started to put together an idea for our show. We decided to make it about Tinder. We also decided upon our roles. We decided Emma and Ellie would be the presenters, rather than me and Alex who are already presenters on Spark. We decided Alex would be producer, Liam would be researcher and I would be technical operator.

Radio Module: Week 1

This week was the first week of our radio module. Richard was our lecturer for this module. We were introduced to what the module was and what we are expected to achieve. For a bit of fun, we also got to hear some clips from radiofail.com of radio gone wrong. To finish off the lecture, we went into the radio studios where we were all required to have a go at doing a link inbetween a song.

TV Module: Week 7

We turned up to our lecture today but unfortunately, many people failed to turn up and therefore we were unable to have another shoot, although we were able to talk to our lecturer Gary who acknowledged our efforts to come in.

TV Module: Week 6 (Actual Show)

This week was our actual live show! We had a quick run through beforehand with everything appearing to go well. This was also the first time Jake was able to see the VT with his mum. The show went quite well except for some issues. Most of the issues with the show were down to the vision mixer either cutting away too late or to the wrong shot. There were also a few issues with the sound, for example in Jake's VT, the sound was  not faded up straight away. I personally think it would be good to try again as we have a final week next week (week 7), and despite most people agreeing, some people seem to be disagreeing and thinking we should settle for what we have, including the vision mixer.

TV Module: Week 5

This week was the final run thoughs before the show. Due to issues with Uni lectures clashing, Emma took the role of Laura as the main girl. Jake was able to make the rehearsals this week and picked up his role very well and quickly.

TV Module: Week 4

This week we had our first run through of the show to see where we were at. Laura wasn't able to make it this week due to clashes with lectures at Uni and the same with Jake. As a first run through the show didn't go too bad however with the vision mixer broken, there was no way of knowing how well the vision mixing would have gone.

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.
