Chapel session Monday 23rd and Wednesday 25th

Monday 23rd of September-

My first chapel session was purely observational though there was one minor task of marking down which takes were best. The control room saw the control of the audio and visual aspects of the production so i didn't get a view of the production from the live area past the stage where the performer was. I was however able to hear about the issues that came up and how they were resolved for example: There were several lights surrounding the performer to create a more visually appealing scene but when shone on the performer himself the lights gave an undesirable effect so it was a case of where to shine the light instead.

Wednesday 25th of September

For Wednesday sessions the Chapel studio sees students from the local art college come down to perform. The first band covered a personal favorite song of mine: "Mr Highway's thinking of the end" by "A Day To Remember." I was given the task of working on the tri-caster, choosing and flicking between camera shots from inside the control room. There were few issues with this production and the band were easy to work with. And while there were only two people including myself who knew the original song, that past knowlege of the song helped with the visuals and the sound recording.

The next band had produced and would perform an original peace of music, for this I took and observational seat and helped advise another student on the use of the equipment.
