Act Britain Act

Yesterday I went to the filming of a T.V pilot called "Act Britain Act" it was sort of like the x factor but for actors. This was the final and there were only three male and female acts left and the audience had to vote on who they wanted to go through to the actual filming of the show, for us to vote they showed the acts acting on film and then live on stage I observed them both and tried to look at them from the audio visual side rather than the drama side. The first thing that I looked at when observing it was from the film that they showed us, personally I thought that the acting and stage direction was all done fine but there was things like the lighting that I thought they did a bad job on for example there was one scene they had to act from Notting hill where they where in a room and the light was glaring and there were parts where I couldn't even see the actress's face and another scene was filmed in a night club and the lighting was very dark and once again you could not see the actors/actress's face. There were other things that went on during the live performance also when the acts got too close to each other and there was a lot of feed back in the speakers or it suddenly got too loud which the acts actually pointed out at the end of the show. But there were some good points about the the show the direction was good and the layout of the set etc.

At the end of the day enjoyed my self and learnt some more about A.V as I also payed close attention to the camera men and I would like to see the programme go to air so I can see how far the contestants get.
