Reflection

After completing a full day of rehearsing and filming Live TV, I now understand how stressful filming Live TV can be.
Firstly the main thing I learnt from this assignment was if you don't prepare everything before hand and check it over to see that it is complete then when it comes to filming on the day, everything doesn't work out the way you hope. The most important task in preparing for filming is to make sure that your running order is as detailed as possible. If you fill it out the running order as detailed as you can then you can pretty much have a smooth running filming session. No matter what it's always best to have your paperwork printed out before hand so on the day of shooting, you can go straight into filming. 
Failing to Plan, is Planning to Fail

Secondly communication is important. No matter what the situation is you should always communicate with your group so the right group member can communicate with the right people to get the best out of your production. If there is no communication between the group members then nobody will know what is going on. Communication is needed to get timings across not only to the floor manager but also to the people performing in the Live TV Production. 

Finally all roles and scripts should be handed out and checked over to make sure they make sense before they are handed. I noticed with most productions that people weren't sure on what they were saying because they rather hadn't been given the information or they hadn't read through it. This is another small issue that can put the whole production behind. If the scripts were read through prior to filming then everybody that would be performing would feel comfortable with what they are saying. 

Overall I learnt that the main thing you have to focus on is Communication because without communication all products wouldn't workout as they wouldn't fit with timings that are being recorded in the gallery.
