Yesterday we had our first proper experience in the studio as we had the first years to operate cameras and be our stands which meant we could all take on our assigned roles.
It was of course terrifying. Once we got rolling I felt more relaxed but still extremely anxious. Throughout the day our run throughs got better and better and hopefully that pattern will continue up until the record day.
It was great to work with the first years they are a lovely bunch and I am glad we now have assigned roles to them so we can really practice for the day.
Being in the gallery is exhaaaaaausting! By 4 o clock I could barely keep my eyes open!!
I certainly learnt a lot. Hans taught me that simple is better. I had definately over complicated the shots I had prepared so I am now going through the actual script trying to keep it simple. I have also had a close look at Have I Got News For You as suggested by Hans.
Reassurance for CAT and STEVE: The cameras don't get to the action immediately always. It's ok to snip the beginning of a sentence. My feeling is we just need to keep calm when changing cameras and less will go wrong. They also had a lot of team shots. Less close ups than 2 shots on the team and the host was always on a mid shot.
They also start the same as we plan to with the end of the title sequence opening up to the high shot of the set which zooms in and then cuts to a mid of the host.
