Today we filmed our news anchor part. The person whom we got in to play the role of the News anchor is our former class friend Ren Ball. The reason that we' asked her to be our news anchor is because she looks and sounds very confident, and performs well on camera.

| we used a reflector in order to bounce the light off of it to create a diffused fill light for our anchor, as shining the light directly would cause shadows on the green screen. we used a wireless mic |

Ren performed very well today, we had to do a few retakes because she fumbled some sentences but she done very well considering that she only had an hour to read the script. Another thing that could have been improved is the amount of time looking at the script in comparison to looking up at the screen, but again, because we didn't have an auto cue we had to work around this off of reading from the script.
A last thing to improve upon next time too is communication and a set workflow for production day, as due to a discrepancy in communicating, a part of the script was accidentally removed which has kind of hindered the live interaction between Mark and Ren.
