The Team. I met a lot of people whilst working with Renegade Pictures and I was able to observe their roles and how they fulfilled them. Renegade Pictures Alex Cooke: CEO Alex Cooke is the CEO of Renegade Pictures. Although I didn't work with her, I was able to research her role as CEO and what this involves.  A CEO (Chief Executive Officer) is the highest ranking executive in a company. The role requires the person to make major corporate decisions, managing the overall operations of the company, and acting as the main point of communication between the board of directors and corporate operations. (1) In this case, this means that Alex works with the Series Directors and Ed Nissen in particular to ensure that Renegade is running smoothly.

Week 2: Daily Reflections Day 1 Today in the office went very well. My first job, assigned by Woody, was to create a prop for this week's show.

Daily Reflection I want to be able to look back on what I've done each day so that I can reflect on what I could have handled better. Day 1 Meeting and getting to know the team was important for the first day, as for this week I would be thrown in at the deep end with the as-live show coming up on Wednesday-Friday so it was important to settle in quickly. I found it difficult at first to know what to do as the team was very busy preparing for the shoot. Ebony was able to let me help her on her work which involved organising and checking off audience members and confirming their attendance for the 2 shows.  My supervisor and the production manager Karen was able to get me involved in some creative work including making a mood-board of the set for the live show to be sent off to National Geographic. It seemed like a simple enough task and I arranged relevant images with explanations, but I wasn't happy with it. I struggled with trying to make it look professional, and
