Recording the game show

We went in to studio to record the game show, as a group we decided to rehearse the second and last round, because we only managed to rehearse the first round and didn't find time to rehearse other rounds. This is because the first round was long and it took our most of our time only rehearsing that round. After rehearsing second and last round the crew and the cast had general idea of  how it was going to be and everyone warmed up for the main recording.

We started to record it from first round, because we planned it as starting from the top.We also decided  that after each round finished we were going to take little break, because to talk about the next round, so that to make sure everyone know what are they doing. Additionally, we decided to film two times, so that when it comes to edit on Final Cut Pro, we can choose the best ones, so that the show can look better.

When we started from recording  first round, as a director I find it bit difficult to do my role, because the cast was speaking fast and I had to be ready and I had to be quick on changing camera shots. After first take, we did the second take and the cast was speaking slower and have little pauses, so that I have time to change camera shots. However, there were not enough time to change camera angles, because the camera operators was slow at changing camera angles and the crew didn't really knew who was going to speak. The crew didn't know who was going to speak for every bit, because we didn't have time to plan to script who was going to talk, when people gave their answers.

After the first round was done, we stop recording and with cast I went through the second round, because to make sure everyone knows what they doing and they understanding the round. After doing that, we started to record the second round. the constants answers were funny, but they reminding the rules to each other, which it didn't look good, so we stop recording and I had to speak to them, so that when we record for the second time, everything can go smoothly and the show can be funnier. We recorded second round for the second time and everything went smoothly and it was much better then last time without anyone reminding the rules.

when the second round was recorded, we then took little break. I remained the cast how the last round was going to happen. We started to film the last round, everything went smoothly, but we had to stop in half of the recording, because the host didn't end the show, by saying: "Thank you for watching show, goodbye" as it was scripte. and it was noted in the cue card. We filmed the second take, the host ended the show, which it ended much better and sounded more professional.
