DAY 2

Jac came over to class to teach us how to operate the visual mixer. It's rather complicate yet easy in a way. Now i finally know how a tv show really operates. There will be multi cameras in the studio. Each camera will have a different angle and shot. A job of a visual mixer will be controlling the camera shots and changing them in order of how the show is going to be. For example from a wide shot to a close up then to a mid shot. It's like watching some entainment show or news.

Everything went well and smoothly. Of course i have learnt something new. I think being a visual mixer is not easy. Especially when doing live show. Very important role. Anyway, we will start preparing for assignment 1. A interview in tv studio. We will have 3 cameramans and 1 visual mixer. We have decided that Majorie will take up the role as visual mixer. So now we will proceed to our script, props, lighting/camera and floor plan design. All the best.
