Upon discussing with Hans my coverage wasn’t as good as it
could be. This introduced me to the methodology of ‘position B’ and variation
of my shot sizes. After certain cameras were given a position B it gave new
life to the production, it turned a 6 camera shoot into an 8 or 9 camera shoot.
After I received this information I wrote my camera script which
ran alongside the main script compiled by the producers. The template was from
myUCA and it gave me the terminology of what is included in a camera script. As
the rehearsals of the show took place, the timings were then added to the
camera script, after communication with the PA. If you compare my 1st and 2nd camera setup to now, you can see the progression in camera layouts.
The camera personnel were given an array of camera cards with their shot list on which when directed they would then cut to. I was advised to do this by Hans and rehearse the shot beforehand to get the right timings. This was also the case for a position B.
