     We first were assigned job roles. My contribution was as a lighting assistant therefore i had to ensure that the equipment were safe and at no risk of a safety hazard, i succeeded in this by using cable guards to secure a minimal chance of tripping over the wires. I then plugged the lights into the sockets and switched the on button. Before turning the lights on at the mains i relocated the lights to a convenient space and opened the barn doors and adjusted them to a suitable degree. I furthermore allowed others around me to be aware that i am going to turn the lights on and then switched the on button at the mains. I then accustomed the brightness in order to look appropriate for an interview.

     During my assistance others were sustaining their job roles to help make the production be successful by setting the rest of the equipment such as; camera and audio. Once everything was correctly placed the producer and director announced the beginning of recording. We then all practiced our roles, had a few run throughs before the actual performance began and during the duration i held a reflector which acted as a fill light a pose to the actor so that they looked more presentable and the light was clean and sharp.

     During the editing of our overall production my contribution was to record a voice over as it was beneficial as it adds an explanation over the top of the clip to show an understanding to the audience and there told step by step what is needed to create an effective interview. Overall the effect fitted in correctly with the brief as i ensured the levels on the device weren't hitting their maximum peak otherwise the sound would be distorted as the audio can be raised in post - production for a smooth voice over.

     On the other hand we could have changed the first and last shots as the sounds were distorted (although these we produced with the boom) we could have re-shot these scenes ensuring that the boom was held closer towards the actor and at a different angle to pick up on different peaks.
