1.3.A - Studio Bookings


Studio Bookings

Studio bookings are made using the STUDIO BOOKING FORM

Studio Booking Procedure

1. Obtain Approval
If you want to use the studio for an exercise or production related to a unit, you will need to fill out your name or group details on the Studio Booking Form, and obtain approval from your Tutor/Lecturer or units coordinator.


2. Check Availability
You should then take your Studio Booking Form to the Production Coordinator a minimum of 48 hours prior to the requested day or days, who will confirm that the studio is available for those days, or suggest alternative dates, and make a provisional booking. He will also assign you a Production Identification Number. Note that, if the studio is required as part of another, on-going production that already has a Production Identification Number, that number should be used for the studio booking as well.


3. Technical Requirements
Before your booking is confirmed by the Production Coordinator, you must discuss your technical requirements with the Studio Technician. These discussions should occur no less than 24 hours before the requested day(s) in order to ensure that any necessary adjustments or technical requirements such as isolation of the smoke/fire detectors can be initiated in time for your shoot.


BOOK IN TIME

Note that time for setting up the studio must be included in your booking, and the requirement for 48 and 24 hours’ notice for the Production Coordinator and Studio Technician respectively includes that time.

4. Confirm Booking
Return form to the Production Coordinator to confirm your booking.


FOOD and DRINK

No food or drink is to be consumed in the TV Studio, the TV Studio Control or Studio Engineering under any circumstances.

If you take food or drink into any of these areas you will be required to leave, regardless of whether you are engaged in a production or not. A second offence may result in you being barred from using the TV Studio for the remainder of the teaching period/semester, which could result in failure of the assessment and potentially the unit.

APPROPRIATE FOOTWEAR

Appropriate footwear MUST be worn at all times when working in the TV Studio environment. The shoe MUST be ‘closed’, covering toes, heels and the foot to the ankle.

Anyone wearing inappropriate footwear will be asked to leave the TV Studio. Examples of inappropriate footwear include;

  • Thongs/Flip flops/ Sandals/Beach Shoes

  • Open-toed/open-backed shoes

  • Shoes with spiked/pointed heels

  • Pumps/Ballerinas

Racked with Doubt?

If you have any doubt on what footwear may be appropriate, please ask any member of the Creative Production Support Unit and/or your Academic.
