This week mostly went to plan. We started rehearsing later than normal and so there were some points we were not as sharp on as we could have been. We did manage to start recording at three but there was a lot of post production for Jack.
William decided about 2pm that we were going to have Rebecca Gray, our News Editor as an in-studio guest to talk about unemployment in the UK. She did break it down locally eventually but Angus said that we should have started with that as there were a lot of statistics. I think she did really well though as this was decided very late in the day.
We should have had another camera on Rebecca too. I was on vision mixing so I only had the choice of a two shot. We should have had the two shot, a shot just on Rebecca and a shot just on Gareth. This would have made it a little more interesting.
George, our director was great this week. Especially with the late changes he took them in his stride and worked really well.
We had two reporters in Estonia this week. Justina Chlad and Aimee Pickering. They did really well in getting some footage for us and sending it back to us. They had an angle and a story they wanted us to follow but somewhere in communications this was lost. We reported that Shira Pinchuk was in Estonia to win an award for her documentary called, Karet. This was a fatal error on our part as Shira was not there to win an award but to simply showcase her work to other artists. We also did not accredit Justina or Aimee for their part in the story when I think we should have as they were acting as foreign correspondents.
Angus said that we were right to put in a story about the Estonia Festival. This is because it is something positive for our university and so we should support it. This is the same as putting in a story our editor wants no matter how much we may disagree with it.
We messed up a couple of times in the gallery. I very stupidly clicked on to VT in the middle of a link. I have no idea why I did this and it annoyed me greatly. I normally know exactly what is going on and am compeltely confident, if a little nervous. I am putting it down to only a 30 minute rehearsal as I was not confident at all and was actually a little flustered.
No WINOL next week due to rehearsals for our big November 30th production. I will of course keep you updated with this too.
