These are some of the social media posts that our marketing manager put up onto our TikTok and I chose to add these as evidence as some of them show my success in my job role

A camera operator is responsible for the setup and capturing of the production. They capture the production in the exact way the producer and director wants so they have to be specific with their camera angles. They are also responsible for the care of the camera during filming like the setup, assembling and breakdown.

They need skills such as;

Attention to detail

Knowledge of camera systems

Multitasking

Collaborative

I currently have good communication as I can confidently discuss my ideas with a group and positively talk about ideas. I am also currently able to multitask productively which will help me stay aware of all the parts of the production.

The 2 skills I want to focus on are knowledge of camera systems as it will help me to make a more professional looking production and it will also help me support the group. To do this I am going to research camera systems online and ask experts like James to help me when I get stuck. The second skill I want to improve is my attention to detail as it will help to again make a more professional looking production and it will help me to notice mistakes and fix them.

These are the typical duties and responsibilities of a camera operator;

choosing, assembling and setting up equipment.

liaising with creative staff and production colleagues to agree on how scenes should be shot.

planning, preparing and rehearsing scenes.

following camera scripts.

creatively framing and capturing action.

responding quickly to directions.

liaising with lighting and technical staff.

working with other camera operators and assistants.

Organisation

Responding quickly to directions

My role needs to be able to have all these skills and more to accurately perform as a camera operator so that they can help to produce a high quality production.

Who I work with

This role asks for lots of open communication with most of the other roles like how they need to easily take direction from the director however also let them know how to improve some scenes. They also need to be able to communicate and work with the script writer, prop/ costume designer, makeup/hair artist, editor, technicians, and producers.

Why I suit the role

I currently have good communication as I can confidently discuss my ideas with a group and can give/ receive constructive criticism. I am also currently able to multitask productively which will help me stay aware of all the parts of the production. I am also good at responding to directions and have a lot of endurance meaning I work hard to make a production that will be successful.

On the 14th November I booked out the Sony bridge camera and tripod to film Maddy's speech and the pyramid scene. I needed this camera and tripod set up to be able to get still shots of the scenes especially the speech scene as this one was meant to look like it was from a show. I also chose this camera as it was light enough for me to have full range of mobility however still had very high quality footage. I also choose this as it was the camera I had the most experience with at the time. On this day, I also booked out a lighting kit as we needed to create specific shadows and lighting in some of the scenes. Again it was most important for the speech scene as we needed the lighting to look like stage lighting and so to create this I made sure to use warmer lighting which showed up on the camera like stereotypical show lights.

# data[].attributes.body
I again booked out the same camera for the 21st November as I wanted continuity with the quality of the footage and I also felt very comfortable with this camera and so decided I would continue to use this for the rest of the project. I mainly used the tripod for the dance scene this week as we needed it to look like it was filmed during a live performance and so I wanted the footage to look very still and focused. However, for the second scene we filmed this week (Abby's woos), I mainly hand held the camera so that I could actively adjust the zoom throughout the takes so that I could get Maiya in frame and focused. I also chose this so that it would have a shakier quality to it similar to the clip we were copying from.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my annotations of the movement me and Maiya decided on for take me and leave me. This was so that we could remember what we did and also so that we had a movement for most of the our song lines to make it interesting performance.

# data[].attributes.body
By this date we were a bit behind with what we needed to film as we underestimated the amount of time we needed for each section however we planned ahead for this ensuring we had enough time at the end of the process insuring we could get everything filmed. When booking out the camera and tripod for this day I accidentally booked it out for the morning however when I got to college I had a discussion with James and luckily there was a camera available for me to use. After this I made sure to double check the time I booked out the camera. In this session We filmed 2 scenes in which I mainly hand held the camera as they were very active scenes that had me often following the actors like the tumbling mouse scene. I chose to run after and zoom in a lot during this scene and had many angles of the same clips just so that the editor had many different clips that replicated the angles that are shown in the real show. I also had to set up the interview scene for this clip which me and the director decided to use a plane black wall as it looked the best on camera. We also used the lighting kit for this set up with a neutral light as well which created that interview style footage. This space was used for all of the other interviews as we wanted continuity in the clips.

# data[].attributes.body
This was one of the first scenes we did and the director informed us on the scenes we would be completing the day before and so I made these storyboards before the sessions so I could follow the exact shots from the source material. For this scene we chose to do Maddie's speech which had lots of angles that I planned out in this storyboard so that I could be prepared and reduce any time loss as we wanted to stay on schedule. I also decided on lighting when planning out the angles for this scene as it was meant to look like a live performance and so I booked out a lighting kit to ensure we could get that stage lighting effect. This storyboard also told me when to zoom in on the actors meaning I didn't have to think as much in the session making everything run smoother.

# data[].attributes.body
In this storyboard you can see it was a more complicated scene in which I had to make it look like the characters were talking to each other even though the clips were all filmed separately. To achieve this I had to mark out the placement of the tripod on the ground to ensure the angles looked the same after each switch. I also had to teach one of the other members of the team to film with zoom as I was one of the actors during this session so couldn't film myself. This story board really helped as it was quite a complicated scene as there were so many different cuts and close-ups so this ensured I stayed on track with the videos.

# data[].attributes.body
This storyboard was for a scene that we ended up not completing due to time loss and so was an example of how that effected my job role. It does however, show that I was prepared for this scene even though I didn't get to film it.

# data[].attributes.body
This was an earlier storyboard in the process and was less detailed than the other. Although this was a simple scene, have a simpler storyboard meant that the footage looked a bit basic. I think that this storyboard taught me to make them detailed so that I wouldn't forget any shots (not that I did however). It also made it harder for the director to understand what I was doing when filming.

# data[].attributes.body
This storyboard was really helpful as it helped me to plan out how to get the clip of Mackenzie running up to her mum. This shot was one I had to think about a little as there were so many angles and a running shot where I needed the camera to still be focused. So I planned to hand hold the camera so I could easily run behind the actor with it safely however still have full control over where the camera was directed. I also put on autofocus for this to ensure the actors stayed in focus and chose to zoom in so that I didn't really have to run quickly making the camera unsafe. Instead I could be quite secure while still looking like I was right behind the actors.

# data[].attributes.body
This storyboard was very simple but helped me decide how to set up the camera for the last shot as the actor had to followed yet also walk out of frame. Therefore I chose to start zoomed in but then zoom out to create the illusion that I was following her . This kept the camera steady and meant the actor could take a natural pace.

# data[].attributes.body
This board helped me to decide on one of the clips in particular as I wasn't sure how to show the injured finger however this helped me to decide to film from the shoulder of the actor as if we were looking down at the injury. This helped to showcase how small the injury was making the video funnier as Vivi wasn't sure if she could dance with it.

# data[].attributes.body
This storyboard helped me to keep track of what was going on in this scene as there were lots of different cuts, reactions and close-ups. This helped to keep me on track of what I had filmed and what I needed to film whilst also helping to direct the other people who had to film the clips I was acting in. It showed them a clear example of how the footage should look.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the final product of our successful collaboration and individual effort in our job roles.

# data[].attributes.body
This last booking example was for the 5th December in which we were catching up on some of scenes we missed earlier in the process like JoJo's and Abby's costume fight. Due to me being one of the actors in this scene, Maiya as the director filmed the clips of me and I gave her some instructions on how to do these. I also chose to not use the tripod for this scene as it is a more shaky, live clip that helps to emphasise the drama. You can really see this on the zooms in on Abby when she is getting upset. The editor also emphasised these in editing. It also allowed me to move more allowing the actors more freedom during this scene helping get the emotions and tension across to the audience.

# data[].attributes.body
This video is one of the first times I set up the camera and the lighting and as you can see I got some help from my teammates as we worked it out together. I also really got to experiment in this session with the camera settings like changing it from focus to zoom and learnt about what lighting looked best on video which really helped me during the rest of my job role as I was able to use that knowledge to improve the rest of footage moving forward. I also was able to work well with the director in this video as you can see we often switched so that she could look at the clips and make any adjustments she wanted to the way I was operating the camera. This open communication during rehearsals helped a lot and made sure that I knew what I was doing well and what needed improvement. In this session I also used my storyboards which made a massive difference as I new exactly what clips I needed to shoot and how it should look. This saved me a lot of time and helped my communication with the director as she new what I was basing it all of off.

# data[].attributes.body
This TikTok shows my set up and camera work similar to other evidence videos however it shows the interactions between all the job roles and actors such me and the actors discussing where to look so that the shot would be more accurate.

# data[].attributes.body
This clip is a session that was farther into the process and as you can see I am more independent with the camera and tripod set up and mechanics. This meant that I was able to complete the filming more efficiently and was able to fulfil the directors vision more accurately. I also communicated a lot again with the director here showing that there was a strong direct line between us throughout the whole filming process. This video also shows that I was able to be more creative with the way I filmed things like hand holding the camera to change the quality of the video and even moving freely with the camera due to my improved confidence. This allowed for the actors to move more freely and for me to more accurately replicate the original video whilst keeping the camera safe.

# data[].attributes.body
This all of the footage like outtakes and scenes that we didn't end up using like JoJo's boxing solo. This folder shows all of the footage I was able to give to the editor so that she could complete our project. It also shows the experimentation I had with many of the scenes as I often filmed each clip 3-4 times so that we could have different angles and quality of clips. This made sure that we could be be picky with the footage that ended up in the final video.

# data[].attributes.body
This TikTok again links to my job role as although it was a social media video, the director ended up wanting to add it to our piece meaning that I set up the camera for this video to ensure it captured us all and looked similar quality as the rest of the video. I chose to use a iPhone however for this clip as it was the easiest way to transfer the footage to the marketing director and have a similar quality.

Overall, I think that me and my team achieved the aims and goals we set out to achieve from our pitch. We completed a parody of the show Dance Moms through the most iconic clips from the show. We worked hard together to make this happen through our separate job roles and teamwork however there were some challenges we faced throughout the rehearsal process. One of our biggest challenges was time. We found it difficult to achieve everything we wanted to complete in each session even with the extra time we set out for in case this became a problem. This timing issue was due to our inexperience in these areas as we had never worked on a film project together and so it took some time for me personally to learn how to use the camera effectively and transfer the footage to the editor. However that wasn't the main issue as I overcame this quickly after the first 2 sessions. The main issue was that we over filled our time especially since we didn't use the time outside of lessons to add more to our piece as we were all very busy due to our courses. To overcome this issue, we made the decision to reduce the amount of clips we were going to record keeping it more simple and achievable. We also had some sickness in the team however this was delt with smoothly due to our contingency plan and clear instructions left for our team from the ill individuals.

My job role as camera operator went quite successfully as I was focused, well prepared, accurate and had clear commmunication. I made sure to be prepare for every session with storyboards. These helped me to know exactly what takes I needed to complete in the sessions and how to do them which helped me stay focused throughout the process. They also allowed me to clearly communicate my ideas for the camera shots with the director and ensure that they matched up with the creative vision. It also meant that my camera work was accurate to the source material throughout the process however allowed me to make some creative decisions of my own like the quality and techniques used in the clips. Overall, I had a positive impact on the final production as I was open to numerous takes throughout the process to ensure I had enough footage for the editor to work with and so that we got the right shots with the directors consistant imput. I was also able to communicate clearly with the actors throughout the sessions so that if they needed to make any changes to their eyeline or acting for the camera they knew what they needed to do and why. This helped to keep a clear line of communication between myself, the diretor and the actors so we could all work together. I was also well prepared throughout the rehearsals which helped to keep the filming process focused and on track as well as reduce the time wasted.

Our performance company had very good communication throughout the whole rehearsal process. We kept this up by informing each other of changes, illnesses, any costumes that were needed, any bookings that were made, the plans for rehearsal all before the next sessions. This made sure that everyone was prepared for each session and knew what was going to happen during the rehearsals. It also gave people enough time to discuss any problems they may have like tardiness or missing costume pieces. In case of any tardiness and illness, we had a strong contingency plan to ensure we all knew how to overcome it. The individual who was not able to make it the session would send instructions to everyone else on what to do to work around their role. We also had strong communication in the rehearsals especially between myself and the director as we would look at the footage together to determine whether that was all the footage we needed for that session and if we needed to change the angles or have the actors perform differently. I also had strong communication with the editor as I often had to send over the footage and check that there wasn't any missing. This meant that we had everything we needed for the final video and there was no back log with the editing. All of this meant that our communication was very clear and successful which made things run smoother.

# data[].attributes.body
I made many creative decisions that successfully impacted the performance and company throughout the creative process however, the most notable were the ones that effected the footage. I had to make decisions every session as to how I would film things like whether to use the tripod or hand hold the camera. This decision changed the style of footage which changes the mood it gave to the viewer. An example of this is during JoJo's and Abby's fight about costumes I had to zoom in on many reactions however, I actively chose to hand hold the camera for when I did the final zoom and extreme close up on Abby to add tension. The footage was more raw and shaky than the rest of the clips in this section to portray this tension. I chose to also use specific lighting for some scenes like Maddie's Speech. The lighting in this was made to be warmer and direct when on Maddie during this scene to make it seem like she was on stage. These were all intentional decisions made by me as the camera operator due to the way the lighting effects the video. Also in this scene I experimented with the shadows as there were sections that needed the actors to look like they were in an audience and so had minimal light. I had to achieve this effect without compromising the footage so I put things in the way of the light to cut it off however, kept it on a high output so there was still enough light for the camera to pick everything up. This meant the clips were accurate to the source material and were effective in making the scene look like it was filmed on stage without negatively effecting the actors performance.

During this process I developed some strengths and unearthed some weaknesses the effected my personal process. I was very strong at staying on task during the sessions as I was prepared for each session due to my own preparations. An example of this is my storyboards and bookings that helped me to have little to no issues each session with the camera or what I needed to achieve. I also had strong communication during all of the rehearsals however, a weakness I found was my lack of communication digitally. This weakness made it difficult for the rest of my group to get information across to me and for me to let them know anything I needed. This often ended with me messaging the day before with my issues causing stress for other team members like the costume designer. However, we would work together to work through this and I improved on this throughout rehearsals as I knew communication was an important constant. It also meant that I would have to change things the day before rehearsals like my storyboards as I didn't know we were no longer doing certain scenes. This weakness didn't hinder the team massively and was fortunately able to be fixed before the rehearsals however is something I want to work on during my next performance and message my team 2-3 days before the rehearsals with information.

During rehearsals I could make some improvements as well. I could have been more direct with the editor in the rehearsal by bringing them in to look at the footage in live time so that she could have been more prepared for when she started editing. This would ensure nothing could be lost and she knew the order of the scenes; making her job smoother and easier. I also think I could have been more independent with my set up and take down of the camera and lighting as it was my responsibility. I would occasionally used my teams help with this as I often had to get my makeup done or change into my costume and so I wanted to be as fast as I could with this. This meant that we wouldn't have wasted more time however this sometimes hindered my team and their responsibilities during some of the sessions. To fix this I should have used 5 minutes before every session to get and set up all of the lighting and camera stuff so that I was more prepared.

I developed many skills during this piece such as precise communication, strong focus, and improved camera/ lighting knowledge. I improved my communication as I have to be clear when talking to the director and actors as I had to effectively tell them what I wanted and if they needed to change anything whilst taking in what they wanted. With the director I also had to be able to understand what they wanted and translate it onto the camera so that we could achieve our goal for the performance. I also massively developed my camera knowledge as I hadn't really used a camera before however I now know how to set up and take down the camera safely. I also know how to change the settings on the camera like auto and manual focus. I also experimented with different skills like zooms in and out, camera angles like extreme close ups and profile shots, how to transfer footage, etc. I also learnt how lighting effects cameras and how set up different styles of lighting using the same kit. These are all new things that I have learnt during this process and are things that I want to improve further in the future.

In H21 and H22 I want to ensure my communication outside of lessons is stronger with my team so that we can all feel fully prepared for each rehearsal. This will also make the process a lot smoother for all the job roles and ensures that the time will be used more efficiently. I want to continue to set personal goals for myself in each session which will help me to stay focused and on track with the performance. This will also help my proactivity; helping the company to run as one easier. I would also like to challenge myself on the more creative side in the future by taking on a role that has more creative input and control of the final piece. I think that this will work well with my strength and will also allow me to improve on my weaknesses.

Hey guys here are some notes:
Just a reminder as the video is playing the people in the audience (I’ll do a reminder on whoever in the audience during what) need to pick a character and act and interact with the audience. Some people have specific directions to do during some like Peter for example being annoyed that juno doesn’t win but if you don’t have specific directions think about what character you are and act as that character!
Chant:
Sharper sharper sharper!! You guys are workers you are supposed to be robotic and not human so just make everything really blocky. Harry remember your head! We’ll go over which leg starts and which way the head turns. Everyone over exaggerate the slo mo section so there’s a definite difference between the faster section after. When doing the new section hunch as coming forwards make eye contact with audience.
Think about your characters cos just needs some dimension and umph. Louder on vocals!
Epic III:
This one’s pretty good just more emotion! More fluid movements.
Wait for me:
Smaller steps coming forwards everyone pop more.
Nat I’ll go over with you what you’re doing.
Eyeline up
Don’t look dead
Step drop steps
Really good at the back during fates bit!!
Pulse section
Slo mo bit
More power at end drop!

In this meeting we decided to focus on Toxic chorography throughout the whole 3 hour lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
They talked about having a tech meeting with James our technician and about starting the Hades Town medley. I was absent during this day.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the meeting where we decided to focus solely on Hadestown for this week and recap the previous week plus targeting the wait for me vocals.

# data[].attributes.body
We decided to recap all of Hadestown and finalise all of the vocals, bringing it all together.

# data[].attributes.body
In this session everyone decided to split off and focus on their nomination parts so I worked on Take me or leave me for this session with Maiya.

# data[].attributes.body
This week we focused on the sections we were doing last week and so was mainly about Wicked and Take me or leave me.

# data[].attributes.body
This was more of a logistics meeting where they ran through the running order and how the set was going to work. I was absent this day.

# data[].attributes.body
This day was focused on creating the tech script for James and finalising all of the filmed footage needed.

# data[].attributes.body
In this meeting we discussed how this session would be focused on learning the Toxic choreography so that when we added vocals it was strong.

# data[].attributes.body
Although I wasn't there on this day Iz used some of the ideas I spoke to her about in my choro plans like the lift and the Glinda movements. However, I wasn't there to teach this but my input was there.

# data[].attributes.body
During this session we only had a few sections to film of this music video as we used some footage we had previously from another assignment. However we finished filming it all and set all the footage over to Ell to edit just to take some pressure off of our editor who had Love Island, Master chief, Phantom, Take me or leave me and the rest of the videos to edit together.

We plan on doing a awards show with different sections like best film, best duet, best gender swap etc. This ensures that everyone's talents are shown and we all get to work together confidently in many different areas like editing, choreographing, directing, filming etc. Our initial idea steamed from me and Iz coming up with a Hadestown mash up that we are now ending the awards show with. There will be filmed and live performances similar to the Grammys however we have called them the Whimsies. This makes sire everyone is showcased and is an interesting way to do so.

This clip shows me teaching the group the toxic choreography as we moved away from the vocals for the second part of this session. I made sure to ensure everyone knew what they were doing by going over everything slowly multiple times and then asking everyone individually if they were struggling with any sections. I also made sure everyone felt comfortable with the choreography before moving onto practicing performing it. This was also used by everyone if they wanted to practice outside of lesson time.

# data[].attributes.body
This session was our first run through of the whole choreography of the first number in the performance. It was very successful as by the end everyone was very confident with the movement for this piece. It also meant we were ahead of schedule and so made us all feel very accomplished. I also felt I had done my job role as everyone knew what they were doing and were performing well.

Tech meeting

During this meeting we talked to James about all of the technical aspects early on into the process so that things like sound, lighting, set and projection were all set and in order. This made it easier for days like dress run and kept James in the loop.

# data[].attributes.body
This was our first run through of the whole show so it went a bit wrong in some areas however taught us a lot about the timings and showed us what logistics we were missing like how to get the guitar and drum on the stage for Epic III and where we are going to put the awards. This helped us to improve our performance and develop it to a higher production value as we made things smoother.

# data[].attributes.body
In this session we showed back to peers and got feedback to ensure we were on the right track with our performance. It also showed us how the audience would react during different sections of our show. The main feedback was to run it through a couple more times to ensure fluidity however overall they said the comedic timing and value was really good and big numbers like Hadestown looked incredibly smooth and professional.

# data[].attributes.body
We took inspiration from award shows like the Grammys when deciding how to introduce nominations and with things like live performances throughout the night. We also liked how people were sat around tables of friends and all chatting during the awards to create an inviting atmosphere which we wanted to carry into our performance.

I didn't take much inspo from this scene in the choro of toxic however we used the audio from this version of the song and learnt it in a similar way to them. I did however like the way that this song is very sporadic and exciting and so put elements like this into the choro by making everyone rise from the audience.

I took movement inspo from this video as they do a lot of things like at the end where they cling to each other. I also think that they portray the anger yet wanting that is in this song and so when coming up with the choreography for take me of leave me I looked at this version often. Me and Maiya tried many things from this however in the end added our own touches but did take the emotions and character depth from this performance.

When looking into defying gravity I looked at some clips like this to see the emotional climax of the song to get some ideas of what to do with Josh. I decided on a lift here at the end to replicate the emotions and feelings that build up in the end of this song. However I wanted a more comedic feel to our version and also wanted Glinda to play a bigger role in the song.

We decided to take out the best cinematic section as we wouldn't have enough time to complete them to the same quality as the other videoed sections. We also need to finish other things like Master chief and the music videos and so took it out to help make the process smoother. I also think that this choice helped the flow of the production and also allowed us to have more lighting cues for other parts like Hadestown.

Due to some of the members of our group feeling uncomfortable with the original choreography of this song me and Iz decided to make a gender neutral version of the moves by taking out things like the drop and the lip stroke.

This is our dress run from our performance date. During our director was taking notes and discussed what needed improving after with all of us.

Together it was decided to use the full clips when introducing the nominees as to make everything run smoother and so the audience would stay entertained. We updated the editor about this change and then filmed everything else in this style.

Due to an injury in the group I was asked to crate accessible changes for Ell so that she could still partake in Hadestown. I chose to change the last knee drop to just a lower crouch for her mainly using her back, let her only slam her good foot down on jumps (making it a stamp), and other things to ensure she blended in with the group however wasn't injuring herself more.

# data[].attributes.body
This clip shows how we were inspired in everything we added to our Hadestown performance from the costumes and atmosphere to some of the movement. We really wanted to capture the feel of this production the best we could and often looked at clips like this to ensure we were on the right tracks.

These are all pictures of the set from the day of our performance that was set up by our cast. We decided to keep the blocks set up like this so that we wouldn't have to change anything throughout the performance whilst also being able to utilise it for most of the performance, giving it a reason to be there. We initially planned to put all of the trophies up on the blocks however, we found that it was easier to put them on the stage side so that Kier could pick them up whenever he needed to give them out to the winners. This decluttered the stage as well.

Due to the staging being too far back Josh recommended bringing the set forward to ensure that the lift was safe during Defying Gravity. It also made it easier for the 2 lifters to get josh higher in the air.

We decided to make the last note in Wait for me a single note with only me and Maiya sing harmoneys potentially as it would be simpler for the group and sound bolder and more impactful.

We want the audience to be set up like the Grammy's or any other award shows so we will place them on tables and potentially sit around them so that we can interact with them. This will also make Toxic more interesting and interactive. We may have to reserve some seats for us in the crowd just to ensure we have permanent places.
