It’s the first day and as usual I am looking like a rabbit in headlights, heading into the oversized fishbowl yet again. Its 11:30 and I head into reception to meet the general manager, Annalise Snell. I then go through the order of my week of work, starting with shadowing the first two runners, a studio runner and the gallery runner. As I had mentioned I had never been to a site like this before, Annalise thought it would be a good idea to put me in the audience for the first recording of the day, after getting over my star struck state from seeing Noel earlier that morning, and sorting my make-up out, I was ready for my first show. My first mentor for the day was Amy who sorted out my forms at reception. She kindly gave me a tour of the studio’s and introduced me to the main production crew for the day. After the first show was done I as assisted offset and rejoined the studio runner, Abi Seabourne, whilst the second show was recording. It was exciting to see how she managed to complete her tasks as she described that particular job as ‘racing with time’. After the second recording was over I joined the gallery runner, George James. She then showed me what it’s like to be a Gallery runner, which included tasks such as catering to the needs of the director and the vision mixer and finally collecting tapes at the end of the day.
