Studio Production - Production Meeting #1

With job roles now assigned to everyone, it was now time to discuss what exactly everyone's role would entail, who we would be working with and deadlines. It was also an opportunity to further the groups understanding as to what the show is really about and what it will require from everyone.

The job roles were as follows:

Producer: Josh Jones

Studio Director: Becca Bennett

A.P/Behind the Scenes AP: Sam Elliott

Production Manager/Floor Manager: Imogen Polycarpou

VT Package Producer/Studio Camera: Cheyenne Joseph

2 x VT and Studio Camera Ops: Troy Smith and Josh Bayly

2 x VT Package Director's/Studio Camera: Ellie Pack and Saskia Tatt

Social Media/ promotion DOP and editor/studio graphics op: Nisserin Bessioua

Social Media/promotions and graphics producer/behind the scenes pd: Ellen Carter

To ensure that everyone knows who they will be working with and what they will be working on, Helen provided a description as to what each role involves and how we will be communicating with one another. How it will work is that each person will speak to their direct superior, and if need be they will speak to me as Assistant Producer and then I may go to Josh Jones as the Producer. Below is a list summarising who speaks to who:

A.P - Producer, VT Package Producer and Production Manager

The Producer, Josh Jones, then gave a presentation on what the show is about in detail. This would be the same presentation he gave when he pitched his idea. Not only would this provide the group with some much needed information about the show, but it would also allow for feedback and questions early on in the production stage.

The budget for the show was also set at £30 per person.
