Finishing Touches
Whilst the directors and co were doing the post-production of both of the game shows which we filmed, I was doing the finishing touches of some of the pre-production paperwork. Ashton, Chantelle and I was doing some of the paperwork which involved the set and props which was completed by the end of the day successfully.
Final Day Shooting!
19/5/11
Show 2
Today, Ashton and I came into college earlier than everybody else to fix some of the problems which we were having during filming with the set, such as the curtains. The curtains were the main problem as they were falling down quite frequently which was a massive problem. Although when we got to college we found out that somebody already fixed this problem, as they has used rope and tied the curtains onto a pole which was hanging from the ceiling. Therefore all what had to be fixed was the drape which was on the hosts' table, I fixed this by placing more gaffa tape onto the back of it which would then stick onto the white material on the table. After these problems had been sorted it was ready rehearse show two.
This time the set wasn't the problem whilst filming, it was the communication. There were mixed messages between the studio and control room which led to problems and a very frustrated producer. Although my role in the show was successful as I was doing the lights, which I thought went well. After I had faded out the lights it was the end of shooting Lights, Camera, Action!
Therefore It was time to take all the set down, which people helped with.

Show 1
Whilst filming we ran into a few problems with the set as the curtains and the drape on the hosts' table kept falling down. Therefore we had to use even more gaffa tape to try and stop this problem, in the end with the drapes I decided that we shouldn't use them for this show due to this problem.
However, filming the game show went reasonably well although there were some problems. At the last minute I had to become the Floor Manager which was not a problem as I previously never had a role for show one. Some other problems whilst filming was that the host was getting a bit mixed up and also the autocue went off. Although I believed we overcame these problems and day one shooting was successful.

Setting Up!
17/5/11
Today everyone helped me and Ashton help set up for the game show. This took a little while as the curtains was quite tricky to put up as someone forgot to bring the fishing wire, so we had to use gaffa tape. I believe the set looks nearly identical to what I had planned it to look like which made the set look professional.

Rehearsals!
Before filming we had quite a few rehearsals to make sure we wouldn't run into problems. Everybody seemed to know what to do including the presenters and camera people.
