Over the last couple of weeks in Studio Production, the class has been divided into three different groups with the task of putting together our own studio show. It was 2 weeks ago that we first met up to discuss the plans for our shoot. During the process we decided that a great topic for us to discuss was 2012 and other Apocalyptic theories that are going around. The reason we selected this is because the 2012 phenomenon is a very popular one that has been going around the last couple of years and now that we are eight months away from that date, December 21, 2012 it is more than appropriate that we discuss this now to help inform and educate the viewer. Within that first meeting we decided that the 2012/Apocalyptic topics we wanted to discuss were: past predictions, climate change, man-caused apocalypse (World War III scenarios for example), the Sun exploding, Mayan predictions and others.
We originally intended on bringing in a Science and History professor to give us insight on the scientific and historical aspects of end of the world scenarios and the possibility of any of the words discussed coming to fruition. The issue we came across was that we could not find a history Professor to volunteer in our time slot (12:25-1:40) and so as a result we decided instead to have another member of our group speak alongside our host and the science professor. After some discussion we worked out who was going to do what and while I did want to be either a director or at least the host, I ended up working on Camera Number 2, a position I accepted as I feel learning the proper camera work in the studio is just as important as working on my hosting and directing abilities. On Tuesday, April 3rd we finally met in the studio to film the show with Dr. Conley, a Biology professor at Shepherd University as our science expert. The actual shoot itself went incredibly well and from my own personal prospective was well shot and well performed by our host and guests. I look forward to the editing process of the production once we get to work on it.
