Part of my Televison and Radio production module requires us to write our own news script and to do a recording of a news broadcast. We had a chance to rehearse today before the final recording on the 2nd of March and it was quite an exciting experience.

My group and I have already tried our hands on the various equipments in the studio but it was our 1st time rehearsing with a complete script. Really looking forward to the actual recording. Hopefully we'll be able to get good grades! We chose to write about SARS so our on-site reporter will be donning masks.

Levin's our news anchor, Kristal's the on-site reporter, Gael, Azura, and Zihui are the camera persons. Nur is the producer and I will be assisting him as the technical director. Managed to take some photos when the other teams were rehearsing, so here goes:

This is the studio control room where Nur and I will be working in. 6-7 video monitors to look at..


Inside the studio, this is where the camera persons will be...


Gael as Cam 1, and the anchor with her guest speaker from the other team..


This is the switcher/mixer which is what I will be doing. Quite stressful because I'll be taking the cue from Nur. Cannot be too fast, cannot be too slow. 1 wrong switch and the whole world will know I made a mistake. Hehe...
