“Yes we’re finally going in”, I said to myself when we started going down the stairs. I was so excited!! Before we started we went through some rules and the guy told us what we had to do for our jobs. “Hi, I’m Kara Spice, and this is Jazmine McKenzie. Hi Jazmine. So how did you know Briar?” Said Kara, now it was my turn to talk, I was so nervous but I picked up the courage and said my words. “Well, I met Briar for training to be sent to the Iraqi war.” “So when was the last time you saw Briar?” Kara had said. “Well unfortunately, her transport helicopter came in, when her plane had gone down, from the Iraqis, I haven’t seen her since.” “Well Briar is alive and kicking, and she is this week’s special guest for our edition of this is your life.” “Wow, really, I can’t wait to see her.” “Well, you’ll be glad to see her after the show; well that’s it for me now, back to you Hayley.” At ONTV my job was the interviewee 1 and Interviewer 2. My partner was Kara Spice, she had the same jobs as me but we swapped them around. We were in the wardrobe choosing what to wear, we only had one whole hour to choose what to wear and to rehearse our lines, it wasn’t long until Cam was going to come in and say that our time was up. So we got in our clothes and went out to start practicing. Not long after that, Cam came in and said that our time was up; we were now going to do a dress rehearsal. We made a lot of mistakes in the dress rehearsal. After that we were getting butterflies in our stomachs because it was now the real thing! This was the one that would go on the ONTV website. We had to do a really good job of this one. 5 4 3 2 1 Action, it had started, at least I had time to rehearse my words in my head before I spoke. We knew when we had to talk because we came up on the little screen above. Kara started speaking and asked me all sorts of questions about how I meet Briar, and stuff like that; I started to answer her when Oskar said CUT!!! We were wondering why he said that and he said to us, “Turn the microphone on”, we laughed so hard afterwards. There were other mistakes we had made as well, but not as bad as that. We had two interviews in the whole video, the first one I was the interviewee, and Kara was the interviewer. The scene for the first interview was at the studio. In the second interview, I was interviewer and my name was Alice. Kara’s name was Brooke and she was the interviewee. The scene for that interview was in the Himalayas. We had different costumes for each interview, in the first one I was just wearing some casual clothes that I had found in the wardrobe. Kara was wearing a bright pink top and a matching skirt. In the next one we both wore a fluffy hat and a big warm jacket, because we were in the Himalayas. The thing I liked the most about the whole video was the old footage that Lizzy and Nicky had to act out, I also liked the interviews. I think that the funniest part was when Kara and I were having a conversation with the microphone OFF!!! At the end of the show everyone had to dance in front of the camera. It was so fun. I tried to stay at the back, so I wouldn’t be seen. When we had finished and packed up we got to watch the video, we were not the only ones who made mistakes, there were lots of them. But it was so funny watching ourselves on TV. Our video is now on the Capital E website. By Jazmine
