LO 2:Rush



My and Olly set up the the equipment for the shooting. It tuck some where between the time frame of 1 and a half hours to 2 hours. When setting up we made sure to not let any wires left out and the one wire that we could not hide away we put masking tape over so that is could not be tripped over or knock over the equipment. All of the other wires where all out of the way and could not be tripped over. We set up the set in the way that we had planned. The TV, chairs and table where all in the places that had been shown in the storyboards and we also sat in the places that where shown in the planning. Everything that was planed in the storyboard was implemented when we filmed. The one thing that we did not do word for word was what was said in the script. This was due to time constraints because if we where to talk about every thing that was planned we would have gone over the time limit by a lot. We had always sent out the call sheet for what the equipment that we need for shooting. As we where reviewing games we needed to find an appropriate software or hardware to record the game footage. So we had to do research in to the best recording software and equipment to get so that we could make a better end product. This is fit for purpose because it is a review segment in a TV show. It was fit for purpose because we had set up the lighting, microphones and cameras in A very professional manner. The script for the review was made so that we could talk in a very informal and laid back way as this is one of the convention for gamer's.
