			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Zoals je <a title="OnAir OnLine: Het Begin van 9 Weken Stress" href="http://backstagemedia.net/540/onair-online-het-begin-van-9-weken-stress" target="_blank"><strong>eerder</strong></a> hebt kunnen lezen is het project OnAir OnLine verdeeld over tien teams en omdat een productie meer is dan alleen filmen en bewerken bestaat elk team uit minstens twee AV&#8217;ers (Audio/Visueel), JP&#8217;ers (Junior Producer) en MV&#8217;er (Media Vormgever).</p>
<p>De AV&#8217;ers zijn tijdens het project verantwoordelijk voor de technische uitvoering van de uiteindelijke productie. Niet alleen zijn ze eindverantwoordelijken voor de kwaliteit van het beeld, geluid en licht, de AV&#8217;ers werken ook aan de eindmontage van het filmpje.</p>
<p>De JP&#8217;ers organiseren de hele productie. Als producers zijn zij verantwoordelijk voor het regelen en bijhouden van draaidagen, filmlocaties, interviews, het uitwerken van een format en een overzicht maken van eventuele uitgaven. Ook treden ze tijdens het filmen vaak op als regisseur. Tijdens de montage zullen de JP&#8217;ers ook de vorderingen bijhouden en suggesties geven.</p>
<p>De MV&#8217;ers zijn verantwoordelijk voor alle grafische elementen van het project. Denk hierbij aan het programma logo, een website, flash animaties, enzovoort. Aan hen de taak om het programma een passende uitstraling te geven en deze uitstraling door te trekken naar de website en de poster.</p>
<p><strong>Brainstormen</strong></p>
<p>Met een team van zeven man (3 AV&#8217;ers, 2 JP&#8217;ers en 2 MP&#8217;ers) waren we het kleinst van de tien OnAir OnLine teams. Maar wat we niet hadden aan mankracht maakte we goed met wilskracht en inzet. En zo zaten we vanaf de allereerste dag met elkaar om de tafel om te bespreken waar ons programma over zou gaan.</p>
<p>Omdat het programma jongeren moet aanspreken kwamen we al snel op het onderwerp &#8217;school&#8217; en &#8216;opleidingen&#8217;. Enige probleem, je wordt op TV al dood gegooid met programma&#8217;s over verschillende beroepen en opleidingen. De uitdaging was dus om een format te verzinnen waarbij we vanuit een heel nieuw perspectief met het onderwerp &#8216;opleidingen&#8217; om gaan. Na een hoop ideeën direct naar de prullenbak te hebben verwezen kwamen we als team terecht op het volgende idee.</p>
<p>Wat nou als we gewoon met een camera de straat op gaan, willekeurig mensen aanspreken en vragen welk beroep ze uitoefenen? Kom je een leuke beroep tegen dan lopen we een dagje met die persoon mee en geven we de kijker informatie over dat beroep en welke opleiding je moet doen om daar te komen. Als je tientallen mensen op straat interviewt moet er toch minstens één persoon bij zitten die een super interessant beroep heeft dat jongeren interesseert. En als je ze dan ook nog op hun favoriete beroep laat stemmen heb je een uniek format. Zo gezegd zo gedaan.</p>
<p>Maar iedereen die in de televisie wereld werkt weet dat TV zo nep is als het maar kan. Daadwerkelijk de straat op gaan en hopen dat we iemand tegenkomen met een leuk beroep is behoorlijk riskant als je het hele handeltje over negen weken moet inleveren. En dus gingen we op jacht naar een onderwerp voor de pilot aflevering.</p>
<p><strong>De Luchtmacht</strong></p>
<p>Al snel kwam één van de JP&#8217;ers met een geweldig voorstel om een item te draaien over het F-16 Demoteam. Hij kende iemand die voor de luchtmacht werkt en kon via via wel een interview regelen met één van de teamleden. Dit was natuurlijk een gouden kans. Mogen draaien bij de luchtmacht lukt niet zomaar iedereen, zeker niet een stel broekies op een media opleiding. Het was dan ook een kans die we met beide handen vast grepen.</p>
<p>Na veel mailen en bellen met de luchtmacht wisten we een afspraak te maken op vliegbasis Leeuwarden. We zouden daar een dag lang mogen draaien, inclusief een interview en een vlieg demonstratie van het demoteam.</p>
<p><strong>Tips</strong></p>
<p>Hoe die draaidag is verlopen zul je binnenkort kunnen lezen op Backstage Media. Tot die tijd wil ik nog wat tips delen voor iedereen die op dit moment misschien met OnAir OnLine bezig is, voornamelijk over het bedenken van een format.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Het spreekt voor zich, maar probeer origineel te zijn.</strong> Alles over school, opleidingen, beroepen enzovoort is de afgelopen jaren al enorm veel voorbij gekomen in OnAir OnLine en ook wij kwamen erachter dat ons originele helemaal zo origineel niet was. Doe goed onderzoek voordat je je vastlegt op je format.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Wees bereid compromissen te sluiten.</strong> Zoals ik al zei waren wij met zeven man het kleinste team, er waren ook teams van twaalf man. Als je het met zoveel mensen unaniem eens probeert te worden dan zit je te vergaderen tot diep in de nacht. Zelfs als je een idee niet ziet zitten moet je bereid kunnen zijn je eigen plannen naast je neer te leggen, ook al denk je dat ze beter zijn dan de rest.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Weet wat wel en niet kan.</strong> Dit geld zeker voor de AV&#8217;ers in het team. De Junior Producers hebben er een handje van om met ideeën te komen die technisch niet haalbaar zijn. Ten minste, niet met de apparatuur die je op school tot je beschikking hebt. Beloof geen dingen die je niet waar kan maken en check desnoods bij een leraar of bepaalde dingen haalbaar zijn of niet.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Analyseer je teamgenoten.</strong> Het is verstandig om vanaf de eerste dag met een kritische blik naar je teamgenoten te kijken. In negen weken tijd kun je goede vrienden worden maar je moet problemen aan kunnen zien komen. Als je op de eerste vergadering al merkt dat er één of twee mensen bij zitten die er met de pet naar gooien houd die personen dan extra in de gaten en spreek ze er tijdig op aan voordat er dingen fout gaan. Negen weken lijkt lang, maar het is heel kort. Mensen die hun deadlines missen kun je echt niet gebruiken als je een strak schema hebt.</p>
<p><strong>Jobhoppers Online</strong></p>
<p>Jobhoppers, ons uiteindelijke programma, heeft ook een eigen website die is ontworpen door de Media Vormgevers van ons team. Je kan de website <strong><a title="Jobhoppers Website" href="http://backstagemedia.net/jobhoppers/" target="_blank">hier</a></strong> bezoeken.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>De traditionele afsluiting van elk schooljaar en zonder twijfel de meest drukke periode voor de leerlingen is absoluut het eind-project &#8216;OnAir OnLine&#8217;. Tijdens dit project worden alle leerlingen van de opleidingen AV Medewerker, Junior Producer en Media Vormgever door elkaar gehusseld en verdeeld over een aantal groepjes. In de komende weken zal ik meerdere berichten schrijven over OnAir OnLine en hoe de afgelopen negen weken voor ons zijn geweest. Doe jij nu het eerste jaar van de media opleiding in Hilversum en staat OnAir OnLine voor de deur dan kan ik je aanraden de berichten eens door te lezen, er staan namelijk een hoop tips in die je kan gebruiken om het project goed door te komen.</p>
<p><strong>Wat is OnAir OnLine?</strong></p>
<p>In teams van 8 tot 10 mensen is het de bedoeling dat we een crossmediaal format moeten bedenken, produceren en uitvoeren. Een crossmediaal format is een programma idee dat gebruik maakt van meerdere media (zoals internet, TV, etc) en per medium in verbinding staat met een ander medium. Voor OnAir OnLine moet er een pilot aflevering van minimaal 10 minuten geproduceerd worden en een website die het format en het programma ondersteund. Ook moeten de vormgevers in ieder team hun vaardigheden gebruiken om een aantrekkelijk logo, flash animaties en een promotionele poster te maken.</p>
<p>Tegen het eind van het project zal het programma worden gepresenteerd voor een vakjury. Deze jury bestaat uit mensen die al jaren in het media vak werken en dus goed kunnen beoordelen hoe goed het programma is uitgewerkt. Op basis van de beoordeling van deze jury kunnen programma&#8217;s genomineerd worden voor verschillende prijzen, genaamd Rocky&#8217;s, die worden uitgereikt op de gala avond op de laatste schooldag van het jaar. Er zijn prijzen te winnen op verschillende punten, namelijk;</p>
<ul>
<li>Beste Totale Productie (Hoofdprijs)</li>
<li>Beste Crossmediaal Format (Beste Format)</li>
<li>Beste Technische Realisatie (Camera, Licht, Geluid, Montage)</li>
<li>Beste TV Programma (Productie en Uitvoering)</li>
<li>Beste Vormgeving (Huisstijl, Logo&#8217;s, Animaties, Website, Poster)</li>
</ul>
<p>Mocht het nog niet duidelijk zijn, dit is dus absoluut geen makkelijk project. Samen kunnen werken is absoluut een must en je zult bereid moeten zijn om lang voor en na je officiële schooltijden aan je programma te werken. Je zult uiteindelijk ook je verhaal doen aan een vakjury van mensen die werken bij bedrijven waar je misschien later stage wil lopen. Hier een goede indruk achter laten is dus enorm belangrijk. Je werkt niet alleen aan dit project voor een goed cijfer of een leuke prijs, maar ook voor je toekomst. Jouw inzet in dit project kan mogelijk je volgende stage of zelfs werkgever bepalen.</p>
<p><strong>Het Begin van 9 Weken Stress</strong></p>
<p>In het volgende bericht over OnAir OnLine zal ik het gaan hebben over het tot stand komen van ons team, het bedenken van het format en hoe we ongetwijfeld het stoerste item van dit jaar wisten te bemachtigen.</p>
<p>Naast de tien minuten durende aflevering moet er ook een promo  gemaakt worden die dient als een reclame spotje voor je programma. Dit bericht ga ik dan ook afsluiten met de promo van ons uiteindelijke programma; Jobhoppers. Hou de site in de gaten voor meer berichten over OnAir OnLine!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the last school year I&#8217;ve worked in a few different places, such as the <strong><a title="Building The Stage" href="http://backstagemedia.net/142/building-the-stage" target="_blank">school cafeteria</a></strong> and the <strong><a title="My First Lighting Job" href="http://backstagemedia.net/171/my-first-lighting-job" target="_blank">atrium</a></strong> in an old Amsterdam monument. However I&#8217;ve never done any work inside an actual theater, until last Wednesday. As I might have mentioned before, the media department at my school often helps out the fashion department when it comes to organizing fashion shows and stuff like that. We often build the stage and take care of the audio and lighting.</p>
<p>This year was no different. As usual the students from the fashion department had to organize a complete fashion show for their practical exam assignment, taking care of clothes, make up, music, choreography, you name it. The exam location for fashion changes each year as far as I know and this year the location was the old Gooiland Theater, right here in Hilversum. Great of course, because that makes it really close to home.</p>
<p><strong>The Stage</strong></p>
<p>Since we had exams earlier that morning, me and the classmates who were also coming to help out arrived at the theater around noon. A lot of the work had already been done; moving heads were already in position above the stage, audio equipment was already up and working and they were just about to begin building the primary stage construction. The idea was to create a sort of banana out of cloth on which we could project colors and shapes using a set of 3000 Watt moving heads and another set of 2500 Watt. Needless to say these things emitted a huge amount of light but the effect in combination with the &#8216;banana&#8217; was very cool to see. My compliments to the stage designers (probably my teachers&#8230; cheers!).</p>
<p><strong>The Spotlights</strong></p>
<p>When the stage was done, all lights had been programmed, every cable taped down and everything was working it was time for the waiting game. Most of us hung around aimlessly while the light guys were doing their best to program the light table in time for the big show.</p>
<p>After about an hour the dress rehearsal started and me and a classmate were sent up to the balcony to operate the two spotlights. I&#8217;ll tell you right now that being a spotlight operator is not as easy as it looks since you have to try to predict every single move a person is going to make. Especially the first act was hard to follow since it was a sort of African dance, this guy was jumping all over the place. I&#8217;m actually glad I got to see it during the dress rehearsal a couple of times otherwise I would have majorly screwed up during the real performance.</p>
<p>In the end we did good though. We got a lot of compliments from people sitting at the Front of House about how good we spotted for a first time which did make me feel good. It&#8217;s always nice to be appreciated.</p>
<p><strong>You Break It, You&#8217;re Broke</strong></p>
<p>When the show was over and the audience had left the theater the entire crew started to break the stage (which luckily always goes a lot faster then building it). The &#8216;banana&#8217; was being torn down again, audio equipment packed up and cables rolled up and tossed in crates.</p>
<p>However in our hurry to be done as soon as possible me and one of my teachers kind of forgot that especially the 3000 Watt moving heads might take a while to cool down again. As we lifted one up and tried to tilt it over, the head had a sort of &#8216;FUCK YOU&#8217; moment and started twisting and turning in all directions, making us lose our balance and almost dropping the damn thing lens down onto the stage. And just to paint a picture, regular 250 Watt moving heads already cost about â‚¬ 3000,- a piece. These 3000 Watt moving heads cost about â‚¬ 15.000,- a piece and we almost demolished one. Quick as I am I managed to save it by quickly grabbing the head and holding it up, but that also came at a price. Since the lamp was still hot I received a small yet very painful burn on my hand which proceeded to bleed for the remainder of the evening. But hey, at least I won&#8217;t have to cough up my share of 15 grand.</p>
<p><strong>Holland&#8217;s Got Talent</strong></p>
<p>A fun fact about this particular theater is that Holland&#8217;s Got Talent was done in this very theater, on the very stage we were working on. I generally don&#8217;t like those kind of shows though I must admit the *&#8217;s Got Talent shows were a lot more amusing than their Idols and Popstars counterparts, mostly because of the live audience present at the auditions.</p>
<p>It was very fun to see and reconize parts of the theater, such as the place where the jury sat and some spots backstage. Check out the video&#8217;s and photo&#8217;s below and see for yourself.</p>
<p><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></p>
<p>I have to say it was a very fun project to work on. For the first time I&#8217;ve actually worked in a theater and also had a chat with people who work there on a daily basis. Speaking to one of the employees really informed me about how things work in an actual theater.</p>
<p>After the stage was clean and everything was loaded up the entire crew had a few drinks in the theater&#8217;s bar. It&#8217;s fun to be socializing with your teachers after an event like that, especially because you start to know them from a completely different angle. I hope to participate in a few more projects like this next year. For now all I have to look forward to is building and breaking the school dance, but you will read about that next week.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The practical exam is done! Yay!</p>
<p>And it wasn&#8217;t even that hard. All we had to do was build a small piece of stage, install four lights and install some audio. The catch was that we had to follow the rules of the Labor Inspection. Things such as lifting with your legs, not with your back. Or carrying certain things with two persons instead of one. They are simple rules but also very simple to forget when you&#8217;re on the job.</p>
<p>In total we had four hours to load up the equipment in our studio on the ground floor, transport it all to the first floor, build the stage, break it down and then transport it back to the studio. The timer would be stopped when all of the equipment was back downstairs and everything accounted for. Me and my teammate managed to do the entire assignment in a little under three hours, clocking in at <strong>2 hours and 57 minutes</strong>. And that included two small breaks.</p>
<p>Of course this exam was not a race for the best time. We were being graded by our teachers on following Labor Inspection rules, the way we work, neatness, logic and safety. And judging by how little they had to say during and after the exam, I&#8217;m assuming for now that we didn&#8217;t make any huge mistakes. In fact, we even caught a few mistakes they put in the exam on purpose. More points for us!</p>
<p>The results of the exams so far will be announced next wednesday.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost nine months have passed since I <strong><a title="And Action!" href="http://backstagemedia.net/39/and-action" target="_blank">started</a></strong> my study in media and ten days from now I will be doing my final exam for this year. When and if I graduate I will be automatically accepted in the Audio Video Production Level 3 study, which is what I&#8217;ve been aiming for since I started.</p>
<p>AV Production Level 3 focuses less on the actual building of stages an goes more into, well, production. Instead of just putting in the lights we will now be programming them using a light table. Instead of hooking up the sound system we will actually be behind the audio mixer, producing the audio. I&#8217;m sure you get the picture.</p>
<p>But all this only happens when I pass my exams. I&#8217;m not to worried about the theoretical exams, we&#8217;ve done enough tests this year and slapping the term &#8216;test&#8217; or &#8216;exam&#8217; on it doesn&#8217;t really change much. Besides, if they are anything like the other tests we had this year I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll pass with flying colors.</p>
<p>However I also have to do a practical exam, which basicaly means I&#8217;ll be doing some basic <a title="Building the Stage" href="http://backstagemedia.net/142/building-the-stage" target="_blank"><strong>stage</strong></a> <a title="My First Lighting Job" href="http://backstagemedia.net/171/my-first-lighting-job" target="_blank"><strong>building</strong></a> with a fellow classmate, but this time we&#8217;ll be heavily graded on everything we do (the way we lift, our eye for detail, safety issues, etc). Two of the people grading will be our teachers and a third person who is from the actual stage building industry. I&#8217;d say if you get his approval you&#8217;re doing it pretty damn good.</p>
<p>In any case, it&#8217;s the practical exam I&#8217;m a little shakey for. Anyone can fill out a paper and hand it in, but physicaly building something with three people looking over your shoulder doesn&#8217;t make me very comfortable. Especialy since those three people will be grading everything I do.</p>
<p>Once the exams are over of course I will post the results here, if only for my own memory. Let&#8217;s just hope I&#8217;m nervous for no reason, eh?</p>
