Finding my way round the site was a lot easier on Wednesday. I almost felt like part of the crew. My first mission was to find the gallery as I started the day shadowing the lighting crew. I bumped into Kevin Sharp, who also assisted us with the lighting for our multi cam music shoots back in Feb. He went through the basics, how to control, alter and direct the lights on cue to the show. I then watched them in action s the first recording began. As the director was close by I decided to ask him a few questions myself and ended up sitting with him for the second show. He briefly went through how he controlled the cameras and explained how it’s all about creating a story within the show, by using just the cameras. He was also attached to the mixing desk. After lunch I was back on the studio floor helping and shadowing the Floor Manager, Greg. As the show was recording he explained everything they did, it was certainly a lot faster paced! He also gave a prep talk to the contestants before they went into the studio, possibly my favourite task of the day.
