News Production Unit - Shoot Day (Studio)

For this shoot we needed a lot of preparation in order for this to go well. I booked the room with Laura a week prior and had the risk assessment signed so the location and equipment were ready for when we needed to film. I sent out a call sheet to the presenters via their emails and sent out schedules for the crew so everyone knew what was happening on the day.

On the morning of the shoot, our crew met up at the studios and collected the equipment from the store. We then spent an hour and a half together string up in the lecture room making sure the green screen was ok and the lighting looked good as well as the framing of the camera and a sound test. We were also going to be using an auto cue for this shoot so we set this up and done a quick rehearsal to make sure it all was working smoothly.

Our presenters turned up at reception and we welcomed them up to the base room. After a short reading of the script we welcomed them into the room where we was shooting and began filming. I decided to go for the multi-cam approach so we did a run through as a mid shot with both of them and them and then did individual shots of each of them so we had something to cut with.

Overall the shoot went very well and after reviewing the footage we are very happy with their chemistry on screen as well as the footage we ended up with. They both said it was a pleasure working with our team and would be happy to work with us again in the future.
