Pre-Event Preparations (1-2 Weeks Prior)

1. Initial Coordination:
   • Pre-Event Meeting:
     Schedule a meeting with the SayPro Festival Management Office and the event team to clarify event requirements, streaming platform preferences, and overall technical needs.
   • Finalize Event Schedule and Program:
     Confirm the event agenda, including session timings, special performances or speakers, and audience interaction components that will require live streaming or recording.
2. Venue and Technical Setup:
   • Site Visit:
     Conduct a technical inspection of the event venue to assess camera placements, lighting requirements, sound systems, and internet connectivity.
     • Confirm Internet Speed: Ensure high-bandwidth internet access for live streaming. Test both wired and wireless connections to minimize the risk of technical failure.
     • Power Backup: Ensure there is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or backup generators available in case of power outages.
   • Equipment Checklist:
     Confirm and prepare the required equipment for filming, audio, lighting, and streaming, including:
     • Cameras (main, backup, and mobile cameras if necessary)
     • Microphones (lapel, boom, handheld, etc.)
     • Lighting kits (key lights, fill lights, backlights)
     • Streaming software/platforms (e.g., OBS, vMix, YouTube, Zoom)
     • Audio monitoring tools
3. Technical Rehearsal (Day Before the Event):
   • Full Equipment Setup:
     Test all equipment—camera angles, audio levels, and lighting—at the venue.
   • Live Stream Test:
     Run a test of the live streaming platform to ensure it is properly integrated with the video feed, and confirm that the streaming quality is stable (check resolution, buffering, latency).
   • Camera Blocking and Angles:
     Set up cameras in strategic locations (e.g., main stage, audience, back-stage for behind-the-scenes). Ensure that all key moments are covered.
   • Sound Check:
     Conduct a thorough sound check for all microphones and ensure proper synchronization between audio and video. Address potential issues like background noise or audio distortion.
   • Lighting Adjustment:
     Test lighting setup for different segments of the event, adjusting angles and intensity to match the schedule (speakers, performances, panels, etc.).

   • Camera Operation & Switching:
     • Actively monitor and switch between different camera angles to capture all key moments (e.g., speaker close-ups, audience reactions, and wide shots).
     • Ensure smooth transitions between the live stream and recorded segments (if applicable).
     • Ensure a smooth, uninterrupted flow of content for the entire event.
   • Audience Interaction:
     • If there is audience interaction (questions, polls, or virtual comments), ensure it is properly integrated into the live stream (displaying on-screen questions or comment threads).
3. Audio and Lighting Adjustments During the Event:
   • Ongoing Audio Monitoring:
     • Continuously monitor audio levels and make real-time adjustments to maintain consistent sound quality.
     • Ensure all microphones (for speakers, panelists, and audience members) are functioning and free from distortion.
