Winol - 23rd February

This week was fantastic! The production team have really excelled themselves this week and I think it is a sign of how well we are doing and the great things to come. After last week with the OB in the newsroom I thought that this week we should have an OB outside and Justina came up with the gre`at idea to have the sports presenter outside instead of in the studio. Just behind the newsroom is a football pitch which we hoped people would be playing on for Wednesday. So, with this idea we set up the OB in the newsroom, this was our plan B. We then also set up an OB at the back of the studio. We unfortunately had trees in the background and not the football pitch but the main idea of having the sports presenter outside was accomplished. Now we are focusing on trying to get an OB from Eastleigh's sports ground.

Also, we were asked to do a little extra this week in the way that we wanted to introduce Justina's Polish Bulletin. We had many ideas for this, some very ambitious, some not so much so but we finally decided on having Hana, the presenter in the studio with Justina. It finished up with a 30 second chat between the two and a 30 second clip of the news bulletin. This was different for the production team and I think we did well with the short notice.

We also recorded the headlines on time and they were edited. Katie did extremely well with the vision mixing this week. I think that this was probably the hardest week for vision mixing between camera 2, VT's and the OB.

This week was Justina's last week as directing for a little bit as she has got the role down. She knows how to do everything and does it really well.

Sam also was superb. She received about three minutes training and on top of that the VT machine kept having technical problems but she did really well in getting the OOV and the interview together with no black holes or disruption. So well done.

Jake and Hana did awesome too with their presenting and with the OB making everything a little bit harder for everyone.

The bulletin was recorded on time and was perfect. We did not need to do any editing this week and as a result we had the bulletin on youtube by 4.10 and then on Winol by half past. We did not manage to use the Tricaster this week which was another of our goals because it was booked out from half two, we needed it until half three. This week we will have the bulletin on Winol by four.
