well... i knew i had to post blogs for my diary/logbook... but after knocking off from the attachment.. i had no energy left but sleep!!
ok this is a short summary from monday till today...
MON
*previously was briefed on the cameras and the recording mixer.. but the first day had many cock ups..
*every shot for the camera was changed from what was taught in the briefing.. i guess the producer wanted to follow the previous convocation style...
* i was attached to do audio/recording mixer... there were no staff on hand but i was tasked to the job with two other fellow classmates...
*before the show, i was told to bring the faders down but there was not any cue for me to bring up the faders for any talkers. there was not any rehearsal on who will talk at which lectern mics and i was fairly confused.
*the first to speak is Singapore's president S R Nathan on the middle lectern; i had brought the faders to a minimum -10 db. i was not cued and did not even know what to do in the midst of the producer shouting for audio to be present!
*after all that commotion, there were problems on sound levels that were loud or soft and distortion on the video feed song..
*did audio for the whole day, and at the end of the day, was confident enough on the mixer board. the only setback that i felt in doing the mixerboard was it is a mundane task with nothing to do at all and that if were to assigned on the audio part, i would die of boredom.
TUE
*for the morning convo, i was assigned to do jib camera.
*practised many times before it starts...
*the actual fly by shot, i freezed at the moment.
* hehe got scolding...
*it was a refreshing experience to do something new.
* but now the shots for the jib camera is locked in my head so in the future, it would be easy to move the jib cam.
*for the afternoon convo, i was still attached to do the jib camera.
* but the cable for the camera was not attached properly, so it was not in used and i had to sit beside the camera for the whole convocation.
* i tried to rectify the problem but then again after trying a few shots, it was faulty again.
* in the evening convocation, i was attached to do the CCU/recorder.
*it was my first time doing the ccu so i had to learn as much from my fellow schoolmate to get the job done.
WED
*in the morning i was assigned to man the audio recording again.
* in the afternoon, i did the ccu together with a fellow classmate...
*after the event had finished, i was attached straight to assist the roving cameraman to shoot the after convo party
* in the afternoon i was assigned to do the ccu again. this time i had already know what to do to man the ccu.
*in the evening. i was assigned to do the jib camera again.
ok thats all.. tired liowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
hehehe
