Ukraine, sustainability in London, and more to come in the programme.
I was this week’s director, which meant my responsibilities included: being in charge of ensuring the show goes to air, working with the lecturers in the gallery to run the operating board (Tricaster vision mixer), blocking the show prior to airtime to determine order of camera shots, graphics, and video outputs, and troubleshooting any technical issues that arise while running the operating board
Made as part of a group assessment for university. Mainly played the role of camera operator, interview director, and package editor.

For this weeks programme I was the production producer, which saw me create content for on-air (jingles, actuality clips, and packages), drive the 2nd production desk in the secondary studio, and provide a ‘creative moment’ to lighten the programme.
Highlights of my role can be seen at:

These are the bulletins I had to drive the desk for. The trouble is, the script did not match up with what actually happened on air – with producers and editors telling me once we’d gone live what was happening. Because of this, I had to listen out for cues that weren’t written in the script to get the right mics live

I helped entertainment producer/presenter Linda a lot with her stories: editing the copy, providing a number of actualities for her to choose from, and writing a segue to my later package later in the programme.

This package was my “creative moment”. I was a little confused as to what that was supposed to be, and after talking to the editor and the previous week’s producer, this is what I understood the creative moment to be. It was also a challenge tonally. I’m so used to the intonations and tone of a presenters voice but had to make myself sound more colloquial for this package.
