Stage Hand

The third week of assessment i was a stage hand. This job consisted mainly of cable bashing for the camera and flipping cards for the news and music sequence. One thing that you need to do as a stage hand is always have a job to do. If you didnt have a job to do you should look for a job to do. If someone took the job you were about to do then find another job. The stage hands mainly interact with the cameras like moving their cables so they dont trip or get caught and flipping cards for them with enough time for them to zoom in or out, focus and/or find a starting spot. stage hands need to help the cameras so all they have to worry about is the shot they need. I was pretty good as a stage hand but i did make one big mistake in the taping session. During the music sequence i looked away for a while then looked back at the screen and thought i had to flip my card because i thought it was on the other camera but i was wrong. So i flipped the card on air. it didnt look to bad but if i was paying attention it wouldnt have happened
