WINOL Week Three, Year Three;

Role; Autocue

This week the production team were not needed to film Sports Week in the studio, instead they filmed on location.

Changes to the way the headlines are recorded - a rather than fading in the studio the decision was to record the headlines in the radio studio in hope that it would reduce the time it takes to prepare the headline sequence.

The way in which packages are exported has changed and stead of exporting in Final Cut Pro x then seven, reporters are now required to export their packages as normal through Final Cut Pro and then change the format of the file in Adobe Media Encoder to export again (explained properly on Nicole’s Blog).

This weeks bulletin was very close to missing the deadline – it was only minutes before going live at three that we were able to practice with a presenter. This was a shame because Ellen was presenting for the first time and may have felt more comfortable with more time to rehearse – more so because there was an OOV the team and director were unaware of. It would have been nice for the gallery to have had more time practice on the equipment because all of the roles changed.
My role on the auto-cue went well, despite it being my least favorite piece if equipment in the gallery.
