On the morning of the show I didn’t want to be around the
studio for too long because I didn’t want to get in the delivery team’s way as
this can make matters more stressful for them. However I did briefly make sure
everything was going okay for them, which I believe being a part of the
production team providing them with all their content, should be one of our
obligations.
I was very pleased with how the delivery team were very
patient and did everything required of them and that the show seemed to go
without any problems. This is particularly impressive with the strict time
constraints forced upon them with content not being given to them as early as
what would have been normal and content still being changed on the morning of
the show.
From the feedback we received, I learnt several lessons that
I will apply to our next show. We have to be exceptionally careful with the
content in our show, this being most obvious with several answers we received
and included in our edit during the fresher’s advice VT and in our news. We
should not publicise anything about students drinking habits or small amounts
of effort put into university work, and make sure all news and information is
completely factually correct.
In regards to the interview we conducted with Amy Walker, I
believe that the framing could have been better by removing the pillar from the
left hand side. To do this I would have placed the interviewee on the left of the
frame in front of the pillar, looking at the interviewer to the right hand side
of the camera, so that you could see people working on computers in the
background within the interviewee’s looking room, out of focus.
Sound also proved a problem due to the location and how busy
it was. Ideally I also wouldn’t use the graphic screens with the questions
written on them. Interviews like this are presented better when the
interviewee’s answers lead the flow of the insert, but this is generally only
possible when they repeat part of the question within their answer so that you
don’t have to make it obvious what the question was.
The show also showed me how much you can trust the
presenters to ad-lib and make the show more light-hearted and conversational.
This generally only comes across well when the presenters are comfortable with
each other because they have to bounce off each other to keep the conversation
flowing.
For the time that we had to make the show, I was very happy
with the outcome. I believe we made sure new viewers were educated as to what
CCi Live is all about, and older viewers were made aware of all the new changes
around them, these being the two biggest aims of the first show.
