Chaotic Production

Camera rolling in 5,4,3,2... You're on!

Words signalling the start that made the next fifteen minutes a total chaos.

I'm talking about our first LIVE TV PRODUCTION that served as our midterm exam in BC 102 class. I was designated to be the mixer (I don't really know how to explain this,  but all I could say is that he's the one responsible for the different camera angles you see when you watch TV). It was quite thrilling for all of us since that was the first time we went on a live prod with all the actual equipment in our hands.

I could never forget the pressure, my tantrums and the misunderstandings I had with some of my classmates before that big day. It's good that we were able to handle those problems, probably because we're matured enough (?)

It's also good that we have an understanding professor who did not and does not expect a lot from us, at least in the field of live production. "At first, it's a chaos then as you acquire experiences, the chaotic experience becomes lesser and lesser", he said and I trust him.

"Cut" said the professor and so our midterm exam had ended. We left the AVR, setting our minds for the finals.
