Week 1

This first week of for doing the journal for tvp107 has been pretty busy. Being a producer for one of the shows means alot of pre production work which i'm finding very interesting. Firstly, on monday there was a meeting for all of the producers which was good to see what other people had come up with and work on ideas for the show and help each other with problems we might be having. We were also given a table 3x10 which meant each box stood for each minute of the show which is really handy for planning out your show and where to put the inserts and commercials and other segments so the show flows smoothly. Through the week ive been slowly thinking of little ideas for the show so its coming together pretty well. Friday was alot of help because it gave me a chance to find out my crew for the insert im directing and to clear up the ideas for inserts for the show im producing. I also met up with the director for the insert im doing the camera work on so i now know some of the ideas she has. Probably the most helpful thing was seeing last years kids show and seeing the standard they previously set which was pretty good. Doing hello riverina was good for me because i got to be in tapes which i hadnt done before and i was good doing it on something ive done many time because i had a general idea of what i was doing. A hard part of tapes was listening to th DA calling roll tapes because the first few runs he wasnt telling me so i had to quickly run the tapes before the director said cut to VTR. In the end it was a fairly easy job. I also learned a few things about the actual tapes and saw a bit more thing the router can do for when you're patching to record.
