At todays studio production workshop, I focussed on undertaking other roles, to see how they relate to my main role as a sound technician. A couple of the roles I had involved; camera operator and Production Assistant.
I have some experience with P.A work previously to this workshop, and so I found that this was much more of a refresher than anything. I really enjoy everytime I work as a P.A as I am quite intelligent when it comes to using timing and such in order to keep the pace of the show.
When I was suggested as having the role of camera operator, I was quite hesitant, because I haven't used a camera in an office environment before, and I haven't really had the interest to do so. However, Hans was adamant that I at least give being a camera operator a try, and so I begrudgingly agreed to do so.
I am happy to say that I am very glad that I did give it try though, because I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and found that it was actually very easy to be a cameraman once I understood the ins and outs and had mastered how to refocus the camera etc.
I feel as though today was an exercise in understanding the importance each role of the studio production team has in relation to the other roles, and as a result it has reaffirmed the fact that each member of the team is essential to this project.
