Before starting rehearsals we had a few sessions in the TV studio getting to grips with the equipment and the terms that would be used in a multi-camera production. Including how to work the camera's and audio equipment and also the VM devices.
The first role I did was the role of assistant director. This involved calling out the inserts that were going to come up and how long before they did and then how long till they ended this helped enable the director to direct the vision mixer on what camera or dvd to cut too.
I then took on the responsibility of sound operator and after that sound assistant. The sound operator has a very important job. They need to conduct microphone checks and make sure the levels dont peak over +9.
I then had to be an audience member, which was interesting as you got a front seat view of how things were coming across. Because you know how hetic things are at that point behind the scenes its weird to see how calm things are on the studio floor.
