Presenter

The second week of assessment i was the presenter. This was my second time in front of the camera and again i didnt like it but it is a good experience to see the production from another perspective. One thing thats different is going from one week hearing everything the director is saying to the next week hearing the director and the DA through the floor managers. Since i wasnt getting marked on my acting there wasnt much presure to do well but i did make mistakes that had nothing to do with my acting. One mistake was not talking when cued by the floor manager because the red light on the camera wasnt on. One thing i did do pretty well was during the stagger through, the floor managers were busy and forgot about queing me so i started talking when i saw the red light on the camera. When you're an actor on the floor pretty much your only communication to whats going on is through the floor manager. They tell you whats going on, ideas from the director and when to start and stop talking. Probably the hardest thing to do as the presenter was read the telepromter coherently and act happy in front of the camera. Other than that it was just listning to the floor manager and reading lines.
