Improved Writing
In the future, I can improve my pre-production planning, particularly in terms of organization. I admit that I did not label audio files properly until rehearsals started and I did not keep note of the sourced links for the sounds I had sourced. This led to additional work, such as re-organizing files, creating a backup file of audio in case the Qlab was corrupted, and properly labeling the Qlab file for the effects and cue list. Had I been more organized from the start, I could have avoided the need for additional work. Additionally, I was late in booking certain equipment, such as the wireless radio mics and audio interface, which caused them to be late in the rehearsal room. Once I realized my mistakes, I made sure to rectify them efficiently. If I were to perform this role again, I would ensure proper management of all equipment and make necessary arrangements well in advance.
Regarding scheduling, I often received schedules late from the designer and found them to be very vague. Despite this, I created personal schedules in relation to the given schedule to ensure that all work was completed in time and I made good use of my time. I also took the initiative to delegate tasks if I received assistance from the designer. During the final show, I felt prepared and understood what I needed to do. I completed the required checks and equipment setup and maintenance efficiently.
