Production Meeting Reflection 2

This week we were all handed out our job roles, I was fortunate enough to get a role that I had initially wanted and that was a director. Although the role can be a bit daunting I was excited to take on the role with both hands and get stuck in. 
This week I was assigned a task alongside Ellie and TJ which involved us creating a running order of the show.  This running order needed to be clear on when things will be happening in their specific orders. The documentation of the running order will be places on another blog post. As I am a Director I need to keep an eye on every role to ensure their tasks have been completed in a fashion I feel will be suited to the show. This involved a lot of communication with my team. As I was aware the upcoming week will be half term I had assigned some members in the group some work that needed to be completed over the holiday.
Prabhjyot - As he is the graphic operator I have had some one on one sessions with him regarding on what the logo and graphics will look like. We had already been given a rough idea from Jada's pitch what the logo will look like, but we wanted to animate it to make it look more interesting and memorable. Over the holiday i has asked him to come up with a few colour schemes on the logo and graphics for the intro and when there will be some audience interaction below the screen. 
Farhana - Farhana is the VT operator and was set a task to create a video montage for the show. She has been really interactive, kept in contact with me and asked me loads of questions. Farhana had originally shown me what she wanted to show in the montage during lesson time. However I felt that the clips she chose did not do the chosen music videos justice so I asked her to look out for other clips. When leaving her to it and coming back to see her progress she had really shown
Taylor - Taylor is a set designer, as a group we did decide on using Jada's set design so she didn't need much guidance on what needed to go where. However i decided to add my own input and add in two flaps on either side of the set, these flaps are easily found as the drama department has two. Taylor also thought this was a good idea as it made the set look more professional. There was a dilemma of the flaps being black which could make the set darker, so we came up with the solution of putting white cloth over the flaps to make the set look bigger and brighter. 
Prinul, Ravinder - They were all comfortable with what they were assigned to do this week which was a risk assessment.
Antony and Rizwana - I spoke with Antony on the placing of the cameras along with Taylor. The set and the camera placing would need to go hand in hand so i thought it would be good for the four of us to talk about where the cameras will be placed. 
Kaval - Kaval was the sound mixer, over the half term I had asked him to look into a few instrumentals that he feel will be suited to the show.
Over half term I knew that I had to keep the contact going within my team. To do this I thought it would be a good idea to create a whatsapp group with everyone involved in the show. I clearly stated that if there were any queries or suggestions people were freely allowed to message into the group for everyone else to read and think about. 
In the upcoming week I hope to complete a more detailed running order, I would also like to start the master script alongside some members of my team.
