Mikes lesson

In mike's lesson I learnt how to make a News programme. It was really interesting. There were few roles which I had a go at such as the sound, camera and directer. I really enjoyed doing these jobs. There were other jobs like presenter, vision mixer, assistant director and floor manager. I learnt that making a News programme is not easy there are many roles required. We also discussed the improvements that we could have made. We could have added a Teleprompter, music to the background,Video clips and also the weather broadcast.

You may be thinking what is a vision mixer or a floor manager etc. Vision mixer is the person who has the role of editing the images and when to change the cameras. Also making sure the camera look good. I really enjoyed the role of the directer. The director  can do anything really just helps around  checking if all the jobs are done properly like a manager but not a manager. It may seems confusing but its straight forward the director tells you when to start recording, but also needs to make sure all the cameras and the Mic's and everything is working kind of like a manager. Also the assistant just helps the director. The floor manager one of the easier jobs but not that easy. The floor manager has the job of counting  from twenty once the recording has started. Also tell the presenters when to start without making a sound. The floor manager also has to make sure that everyone on the set is quiet.The sound checker has to make sure that the sound of the mics is perfect and control the sound through out the shooting. We all know what the camera role is. Making sure the camera is facing the right way and zoom in to get the perfect angle. The presenters had the hardest job reading out the news and looking at the cameras that was one of the roles which tried to runaway from.
