Hi, my name's Camron Watson. I'm a student studying media and communications at Birmingham City University. I'm a television specialist and this website will be used to show the work that I've done.

For this specific practice segment, we had to do an interview in front of the entire class. Another person and I were on the lighting team, with only 3 lights we had to put out knowledge of lighting techniques that put a focus on the stars and the set in an almost equal manner. We decided to have one light high and in front of them on the highest brightness setting to get a nice look for the set and the stars on the middle camera, and then put the other two lights behind the stars to give a halo-like backlight on the stars which made the close up shots look much better.

Okay so here we practiced segment of a show that was going out live on air. My role was the PA, which meant that in essence I was the timekeeper (cool right). What I did was make sure that recording began when the director wanted it to begin, and that on screen everything stays within the allotted time for the segment.

This was the final take on the whole twister segment practice. This was where we perfected the segment and it was brilliant. Since we noticed that the times we had before were still too slow I gave them a broad leeway time of 6-8 minutes to complete their segment and as you can see we absolutely nailed it. The segment originally would have ended at 7 minutes but one of the stars had the genus idea of implementing a joke we made between takes into the story, completely unplanned, we kept the camera's rolling and kept going, and this end segment became the icing on the cake.
