Description:
For a career class project, Alex Jefferson turns a microphone on the BTV crew to see what happens behind the scenes of the popular show.
Alex soon sees the kind of chaos that goes on where the camera doesn't see. Station manager Guy Feldstein is bugging Bernard about format changes. Edwin Blackgaard is worried about his own part of the show and nothing else. Wooton Bassett keeps trying to take everyone else's job. The switcher isn't working. Alex tries to stay out of the way as tapes melt, mistakes are made, and people do a lot of yelling at each other.
Finally, after all seems lost when the studio nearly catches fire, Bernard gives a touching speech about working together as a team. This inspires everyone to really pull together for the final sketch...about the unity in the Body of Christ.
Questions:
What were some ways that the BTV was not unified? What inspired them to show unity? Have you ever been part of a team where you didn't get your way? How did you handle it?
