Glow Festival portrait gallery
08/05/2018
Brief: The opening event of this years glow festival took part in Edinburgh’s portrait gallery its consisted of speeches from the principle and other guess speakers as well as multi dance routines from EC students. We where tasked with filming the dancing and projected them onto a 50″ monitor.
The set up: The set up consisted of live streamer with 2 Jvc 850 one connected directly to the live streamer via BNC and JVC via teradek so it was remotely broadcaster. The director then vision mixed and transmitted the picture to the external monitor.
My role within the production was to help set up and to operate camera 2 the remote camera.
Conclusion: With no prior visit to see the rehearsals of the dancing we where unaware of position until the performance had started so in future event or a similar set up it would be imperative to witness a performance before we start to film to give us more of and indication of movement and position, also as there was a lack of talkback i was unable to know when my camera was live this proved difficult for me physically as i had the camera shoulder mounted and was unaware of how long i was to keep each shot for.
