Today we went Lever Street, Manchester College, the Centre for music for 2nd week in a row.
Firstly in the morning as a group we all took kits out of the van and we all start setting up the equipment’s such as. Camera, sound mixer, tricaster, Talk back etc. which took about (one half hour).
After sitting up all equipment’s as a group we decided to give the each individual roles for the 1st 4 acts. After we were given our roles for the 1st 4 acts we found out that there will be 3 more acts to perform for today show so we all decided to give the roles to students who did not have enough roles to do.
After all students have their job roles and responsibilities we all start checking the cameras, tricaster, talk back, etc. To make sure everything is working before we start the live show.
However before we started the live show we faced few problems and the problem where the tricaster that wasn't connected but after Mr Colin checked and opened the tricaster we found the electric cable wasn't in place also after fixing the problem with the help of Mr Colin we start setting up our tricaster and vision mixer then we start to setting up the cameras white balance but we faced another problem that we couldn't set up the white balance due to the lights after hard work with help of Mr Peter finally we got the colour we wanted. After doing this we all went for our lunch break.
After we came back from our lunch break we did the new white balance and put the new setting for the cameras due to the new light system has been set. After fixing all the problems we were ready to record the performer, but when we start recording the show and it was in live on ustream we did have another problem with the communication between director and floor manager. During that time of recording the band wasn't ready to perform and as a vision mixer I had to play graphics few times till the band were ready and we start recording. However during the time we were life streaming I had good communication and good listening skills with the director. However I think we did good job and the show went very well and except the 1st part of the show that was the bad communication between the director and floor manager we had a good communication skills of the group and we were happy for our performance.

Knowing risks
During the show for the 1st act I haven't seen any risks because I was in the gallery room and I was in response of the vision mixing. But for the 2nd act I were in the studio I saw few risks again that could make hazards of falling or tripping. However as a group we setup the equipment’s in the beginning of setting up, we all confirmed that all the cables and wires are covered. However this time the cameras wires & lead were all over the floor and it wasn’t covered and mated and it could harm a camera operator while moving around and filming.
To prevent the risks from happening again I will be make sure as soon as I see any risks I will sort it out before it damage or harm someone or make hazard off tripping. Also I will alert the entire group to beware of the risks.
Also I took some photos from today's show that I would like to share here.

There is some photos of the last group I would like to share here.
I would like to give some details about the time we start filming that I have been showing on the tables above when performers intro to the stage, because we had some problem before starting the show and the problem were the lights and also it took time to set up the camera sitting and fixed the problem we had with white balance. Because of that reason couldn't start the same time were given to us by tutor.
In the end of the day we had to film the 4th act again because a last minute I found out that the vision mixer were forgot to click on the live stream and record the show.
So we had to film them again and we succeed.
Overall I think we done a very good job during the show today as a group and I am pleased with what we have done, however I think you had a good communication skills and good group working skills.
4.30pm we start de-rig all equipment’s
