ivor4781 - //all in all it was the performances was spot on.well done to all,
it makes you wonder if they can do this and get it right first time why does it take so much time to do one shot when its recorded ive seen them filming many times,audrey and fred elliot were opening something and it took 8 takes till the guys at the back of the camera were satisfied , //
I have been on live TV shoots, and there are untold technical glitches which the untrained eye would never see, but the tekkies do see them, and request retakes. So more often than not, the actors are perfect every take, but something else makes it wrong, so everyone does it again.
I watched a scene for Robin Of Sherwood being filmed in the wilds of Bristol, by a river.
The combination of getting the sound perfect - dialogue loud enough to be heard above the sound of the river, but not so loud they were shouting, combined with the lighting - clouds covering and then revealing the sun at unpredictable moments, plus various other tekkie bits, meant a load of retakes, but no discernible change in the way it looked our sounded to my untrained eyes and ears, and as far as I was concerned, there was no difference in the actors' delivery for each and every take, of which there were loads!
