We did not have much preparation for our Kairos trip. We were originally supposed to go earlier but it was swaped around with 4D because of our lack of English classes. Half of the class was away, so the other half agreed upon an idea and roles. In the last class the whole class came together and got everything organised in an hour.
When we arrived at Kairos we sat down and explained that we were doing family fortunes and that Tadgh and Daniel were the directors. Everybody already had pre-assigned roles. I was the floor manager. My aunt works as the floor manager in TV3 so I wanted to see what it was like to do her job.
I was given a headset so I could hear what the director, visual mixer and sound man were saying. The director would tell me what to say to all the crew and where everybody should be. It was a bit unsettling at first being able to hear what people where saying right in my ear when nobody else could but I got used to it pretty quickly.
The show turned out ok and I enjoyed being floor manager a lot.
