The production team has got this job down. Every week we accomplish everything that is asked of us and to a perfect standard. This week we even met last weeks goal of using the tricaster to broadcast live, this then meant that we got the bulletin on to the website for 4pm and no later.
Tuesday was a very hectic day for the bulletin, much more so than normal. Hana's package included a live interview to Bahrain. Ali Al-Jamri set up an interview with his father who is a Journalist in Bahrain. It took us quite a while and we needed quite a bit of help from the technicians but we managed to get the Skype to run through the gallery and out from the vision mixer. This made the shot look better as it came straight from the screen instead of a camera filming a television or computer screen. Everyone was very silent in the gallery and it had a weird, very well accomplished feeling that we were all apart of something much bigger than our normal WINOL packages.
After this we recorded Justina's Polish bulletin; which is doing very well for viewers then lastly Sportsweek. Sportsweek took quite a while this week as we were trying different shots and I found a way that we can change the green screen without going straight to a VT. I was very proud of myself and think that it looks really good, we then included this in our WINOL bulletin too.
We have also decided to get parts ready this week for our Entertainment show; ready to record next Tuesday. We have decided to call it, 'Good Morning Winchester'. It is not as catchy as we would have liked but it does sound good and fits well with what we want the show to be like.
Wednesday went really well. Again, we were all relaxed and calm, even TAB9 seemed much more calm this week. We had guest editor, Tom Hepworth in, who gave ideas to packages and the script. He also congratulated the production team on how well we worked together and the feeling in the gallery.
We did film 20 minutes late but this was a great call from Katie as director as it gave us a small amount of time to do a rehearsal. It was not the production teams fault that we ran late but Katie dealt with it accordingly. We may have recorded later than normal but we still got the show on the WINOL website by 4pm.
Next week we would like to be more ambitious but we are hoping to accomplish this with 'Good Morning Winchester' and maybe an OB that is not only needed but out of the newsroom and in a place that is actually needed.
News was very strong this week, an improvement on the week before and Sport also did well. We mixed up with Andy and Karen as presenters this week and the sports table added something a little different to the bulletin.
The team did very well this week. Justina was on vision mixing, Natasha was on autocue, Sam on VT's, Drew on cameras, Katie as Director and Claire on the sound board. Everyone had a role they were not too used to and did really well with very few proper rehearsals. I look forward to introducing Natasha on to the team properly next week and hope that she enjoys it as much we do.
Well done guys, another great week for production.
