Talent-Presenter

I found that being talent was quite boring. Lots of sitting around and walking to and from the chair. However being talent gave me a unique view of the studio in operation. I was more of an outsider looking in than a cog in the studio drive train. I was able to see things more objectively. From that i was able to see the what could have been done better and what was done well as i saw it on the floor.

One thing i noticed was the lack of info given by the floor manager. Most of the time he was quite good but very now and then i had no idea what was going on. His cues were good and easy to follow. I also noticed the importance of the autocue persons speed (not as easy as first thought). I thought Andrew on camera one did a good job mostly and his tracks were of particular note.

I also now have a bit more respect fo actors and will try to make them as comfortableas i can, now knowing how out of place they can feel with the crew working.
