"One cannot expect to be perfect the first time they try something; if on the off-chance that they do manage to pull something off flawlessly, for the first time – ever, then they should be taken aside and be kindly reminded what they have performed is an impossibility, and that swarms of angry people spanning across the millennia of ages past, present, and future will be after their blood."

Being armed with a modicum of experience goes a long way in this industry, but by no means can anything prepare you for the delight (though some may beg to differ) that was ''A' you're adorable'. Simply put, it is a complete immersion, deep-dive sort of exercise that gets your feet soaking wet, and in the flurry of it all makes you appreciate just how the production of TV works - not existing as a single entity, but as a living breathing organism that requires each and every part to work harmoniously together.
Hits:
- Getting praised by Matt because I used 'ready camera x', 'focus camera x' in addition to asking the VM to take the shot
- Instructing the control room to briefly switch to camera 1 so that we could check focus on the monitor (don't forget your glasses, Krystal. ;))
- Being quick to respond on the intercom
- Keeping time on the VM when my director slipped up accidentally.
Misses:
- Calling out the names of the letters, instead of the number of the camera!
- Saying nothing to my VM Liam for 4 letters, and being kindly reminded by Matt
- Having the audio a little soft at the beginning of the song and not really riding the levels until partway through
- (Whilst on camera 1) Totally missing the letter 'C' without realising that one must reframe each letter - though in my defence, from that point on I did manage to zoom out, zoom back in, pull focus and keep the letters at a consistent size - not something everyone did, mind you!)
- Not flipping to the final card at the very end of the sequence infront of camera 1.
With all that said, for our first go, I don't think we did too badly!
