Festival of the Arts

Your job as a camera person is to follow the action on stage with the camera, trying to keep your camera shot looking as good as possible.  Camera 1 and 3 are positioned to the left and right of the stage on 6 foot scaffolding.  Camera 2 will be located straight back on a scissor lift about 20ft in the air.  Camera 4 will be a roaming camera in front of the stage or getting behind the scenes footage.

The graphics/audio position will be right next to the director—seated inside the GRTV tent.  This position will be responsible for two main things.  First, monitoring the audio feed and bringing in the audience noise microphones at the beginning and end of a performance.  Secondly, they will be checking the graphics for errors or inconsistencies and then sending them to the director at the appropriate times.

The GRTV street team will be going out with our handheld cameras and getting man-on-the-street interviews and event coverage beyond the main stage.  This team will be comprised of a camera person, interviewer, and editor.

The director will be coordinating with the camera volunteers and the graphics/audio volunteer to produce the best show possible.  They will be switching between camera shots, letting cameras know what shots he needs them to get, double checking graphics, and communicating between the GRTV staff person and volunteers to make sure everyone has enough water, snacks and coordinating breaks.
