As Live Production Unit - Progress Meeting Three: Pre Production Update

Today we had our third production meeting as a team. This was an important progress meeting for me as I could see how everyone was doing in terms of the pre production work. In terms of the script, the producers insured that they are working on this and the dialogue is being written at the moment. This is great to hear as when they are done the script can be past to me and I can make notes as well as more importantly pair my visuals up to meet with what they had written. They also explained that the set design that we did discussed has been drawn up into a digital copy and will be sent over to the set design team. This includes the soft area where the presenters will sit on sofas with a plasma screen, a hard area where the presenters can stand a talk to the camera and the catwalk area which has a runway for our models to walk down.

The transmission date was discussed as it is moving to the 19th of April rather than the 18th of April which will allow the set to be rigged on the 18th and rehearsals to take place with the set. Before that, masking tape will be placed on the floor to rehearse within the lines of the set.

A few more questions were raised about a couple of sections, these were VT and promo which needed some more content to work with. We discussed the VT presenter challenge that will be in my half of the show. We all came to the decision that there needs to be more of a challenge and we have settled on making the budget less to make it more difficult for our presenter. We also said that the online fails VT needs to have a slightly more serious tone to it as its talking about a serious problem that people occur on a daily basis.

Overall it was an insightful meeting and I feel the team all know what they need to be doing to bring us up to speed in terms of pre production material from all departments.
