Multi-Camera (Job Role: Director)


My experience during my lecture hours as a director, on the 22nd October 2014, I had realised that the job was not as such a comfortable one.

I often get anxiety, and with the role of director, that is exactly what happened. As I sat in the chair of the control room, I was overwhelmed by the amount of buttons there was on the visual mixer, after learning what to do with the visual mixer, we went straight into practice for a live webisode, and I knew the moment I pressed the "stream" button, that I would struggle instantaneously.

After finishing the live webisode, i had four more retries, and with each retries I have improved considerably.

Weaknesses:

My weaknesses as director, is co-ordination and communication. I delayed my "stand by"s and as for co-ordination, I struggled to keep an eye on which camera gave me a good shot, and which i had decided to stream. Was easily stressed under strenuous pressure.

Strengths:

after the fourth retry i had managed to improve my communication by a smudge. This showed an improvement.

However after those four retries I had made a note to keep arms distance from being a director, and for our programme in perspettiva,  the team and myself had decided to allocate me to a floor managing role.
