On Tuesday it will be me, Graham, Henry and everyone from production to help out and we will do a dummy run, but I will need anyone who is free to pretend to be candidates and sat in the audience so we can every angle we will be filming from. After meeting the technician's and Brian on Friday the final plan for the layout for the debate:
* 2 cameras will be at the front one on a tripod capturing reaction from the audience and one will be on the fig-rig, which will be operated by Lee to get shots of the audience asking their questions and to also help film the chair of the debate.
* the other two cameras will be positioned inside of one of the rows in the auditorium. This will allow better access to film the debate and will also stop any problems with health and safety with cameras positioned in the aisles. These seats will be cornered off, therefore we will have both cameras on this row filming.
* The two cameras at the back will be fed by 2 long BMC cablesinto the tricaster, which will be operated by Henry and there is a possibility of their being a fifth camera, which will be decided after the run-through on Tuesday.
* We will have six table microphones used for the debate and one radio mic for Alex Forsyth. Therefore we will still need to possible use the gun-mic's, but I think that the mic's on the cameras will be sufficient with the volume up to maximum, but we will try with both.
* There will be a technician available from 4pm on Thursday 1st, so we will have someone on hand to help us set up all the equipment and there will also be someone on hand throughout the debate and help with the sound and lighting arrangements, which will be controlled by a app on a IPad.
Onto the arrangements everyone knows their roles, but to refresh everyone's memory, here is the final list of roles and the small alteration I have made:
Managing Editor: Louis O'Brien
Tricaster/Producer: Henry Lewin-Titt
Floor Manger: Graham Marshall (I have personally assigned you the role of director for Alex Forsyth as well, because we will not have talk back, so I will need you to be down the front prompting her of timing and if we need to move onto the next question).
Cameramen: George Berridge, Daniel Mackrell, Ewan Kennerell and Lee Jarvis (fig-rig operator)
Ushers: Felicity Houston, Faith Thomas and myself.
Guest Reception: (checking off guests name to ensure they have been invited): Sophie Webb, and Nicole Collas
Photographer: Kate Drummond
Audience runners: Christina Michaels, Kirsty Phillips, Amy Moore and Karina Sleiman. (you will be mainly going round with the microphone so people can ask their questions as the majority of the debate is a Q and A session with the candidates.
Runners: Nadine Forshaw, Georgia Spears and Ben Hatton (I think we will have more production roles, but for the time being I will need you guys on hands to get things if we have any technical problems or issues with candidate etc)
Online/graphics: Liam Garraham and Jason French (this is one of the most important jobs as we will need you to watch the stream throughout to ensure it is working and to have a graphics made ready to use if the stream goes down)
Post-debate interviewers: George Berridge, Spence Spencer, Tom Morgan and Thomas Baxter. This will depend on if we have any MP's attend. We have the Chief Constable of Hampshire Police and the Chairman of the Hampshire Police Federation and we will hopefully interview both, therefore I will still need the four of your to help if that is ok.
The debate will have three parts:
* All six candidates will have a 90 second opening statement to begin.
* Then we will go for a hour Q and A session with the selected questions with a five minute time-limit on each question (we may go longer on some if the debate gets heated).
* All candidates will then have a 90 second closing statement to finish.
I imagine that the debate will finish just before 10, but we will need to move equipment to the room upstairs above the stripe auditorium to store equipment until the morning when it will be moved by myself and the production team.
I think that will sort everything. We will have a meeting tomorrow where I will go through all of the major points and answer any questions, but with the run-through on Tuesday hopefully we will sort any issues and will be prepared for next Thursday night for the 2nd of our big projects this semester.
