Our first GOOD news cast review

Well since I was on a Cross Country field trip to Disney most of last week this review is a bit late.

I think we actually did really well on our last news cast. This was by far our best news cast so far. As for my own job, I did all that I could have done. I got the mics open on time and with stable audio levels. Now after we are all comfortable with what we are doing, our news cast seems a lot more professional. One thing that we need a bit improvement on is our camera angles. They are occasionally a bit far off to the side and taking away from our anchors. Overall, I think we did a really great job and it was a huge improvement compared to our last attempt.

October 1 News Review

Looking back on our last news cast, I feel that we actually did a pretty good job, up until JP got confused and made it on to the blooper reel. Everything went really smooth up until then though. Our transitions were on point and everyone seemed to know their lines and when to speak. As for my own performance, I thought I did a decent job. I remember that in our first take, I was late on the mic, but it turned out fine because we just restarted. Being the audio tech can be tricky at times because the cast is always switching their microphones up so every time it is new to me.  As we continue I feel that we will really nail the news cast. We have very small errors that mess us up, and then leads to a big mess up. Once we work those out, I think that our news will be superior to the other section because of our enthusiastic anchors and good camera shots. Our camera crew does need to step it up a bit though, I feel that we are making too many live adjustments that will distract the viewer. Along with that, camera 3 dies out very often and sometimes leads to a black screen.

Now that we got the basics down, we just need to work through some bumps. Overall I think we did a good job until we had to stop.
