Principal Hellen session
Hellen inquired from those on probation, why they think they are on probation. Paleki said that she was navious because she did not start well. Hellen also commented on the way Davis and Steve invited the crowd to join in the singing. She said it was wrong to invite people to join the song that they have not had. She goes ahead to tell them that they should sing first before inviting the crowd.
Varying shots were used, starting from long wide shot to give a whole view of the entire audience in the show and also as the contestants performed. Boom shot as well was used probably give a good view of the audience. Close up of each contestant as they perform and also on each judge as they give their comments.
