Commission: Meeting 2

Today I had a meeting with Carly to discuss my ideas further and discuss what we do and don't like. I was pleasantly spurred to find the we were both on exactly the same wavelength with ideas. She said that what I had written up in the treatment proposals I sent her were exactly how she imagined them to look in her own head, and she said the way I had done it was very professional. This was brilliant feedback for me as I couldn't have received  bigger compliment for my work. Her only criticism was a few grammatical errors, which in future I will also get someone else to proof read before sending to a client.

We started off discussing the promotional video and Carly like my ideas for the opening. This was to have a slow zoom in on an old television with the logo as an animated graphic. Carly had visioned even this before and referred me to the studios timeline on the website. With this I could see an old television, of a similar age and style to the one on my brief. Again, this went to show that we were both on the same page in terms of style and what we both wanted. I showed her the video on the website, with old footage of shows that were originally filmed there which I said I wanted to include. She was happy for me to include them in the promotional video; I would want to re-edit slightly to accommodate the timeframe (90seconds) for my entire video. I wouldn't like it to take up too much time as I have a lot to cover in the actual video.

Not to include satellite stuff as too complicated and they don't need to know about it; Carly suggested I simply just include “HIGH SPEED FIBRE AND IP NETWORK"

Rooms like green room old and not worth showing; if I was to show these rooms it would be false advertisement; especially if it looks good in the video. The actual rooms aren't up to the standard of the rest so might be worth mentioning them quickly but not actually showing them.

Story Telling Unit-Camera Workshop 3: 180 degree rule

Image
In today's workshop we were split up into groups and given a one page script and asked to film two characters discussing the 180 degree rule . The key to this task was understanding this rule and applying it. The script was a very basic duologue; the two characters come together, sit down across from each other and have a small conversation until one leaves at the end after understanding the 180degree rule. I chose to have my version with an entrance of one of the characters who is late for a meeting regarding this rule. The dialogue then starts as he begins to explain the 180 degree rule. My idea was to have them both on 'oppersite' sides of the  table, which could have appeared more tense, until the character understands the rule, the tension is broken when the first character leaves. I also wanted to test this rule with the entrance of the first character. I really enjoyed this worksop and found it useful in learning and understanding the 180 degree rule. I di...

Pre-Production: Professional Practice Interviews

Image
During the summer, I was lucky enough to be asked to take part in a work experience programme being offered to by production company 'Bareska'. In this, myself and three others were given free rein of a professional client project. I was the Co-Producer/Director/editor. I agree to do this project as it was ad-hoc- so a project I was able to work around uni and work and was also a fantastic opportunity for me to practice for my third-year major project, even if I didn't end up doing a documentary. This was fantastic practice in pre-production, directing and just speaking with contributors about a secretive subject. The Symbolism Behind the Chair I wanted to make the chair the focal point t of this piece. I feel it adds story watching Ben walk into frame and the wide shot makes it seem as though he feels alone now he doesn't have his brother, The sun is beaming in which is very atmospheric and quite angelic.  With my roles for the major project, I am going to u...

News Production: DIY Tech

Image
I am working in a group with Jack, Gavin and Simon and today we had a brainstorm after our unit briefing to find out what we could make a news channel on. We really liked one of the examples of the work of previous students who's target audience was students. We found this something that we could relate to ourselves so would be something we would be passionate about and take an interest in. Our first idea was to base it on university courses where students are made to pay for their own materials rather than the universities providing it. It was also about students taking courses in nursing and how there has been a significant drop in people choosing such courses as a result of the rise in uni fees and having their funds cut (previously the government would fund those degrees). For a segment of each episode I though it would be a good idea to do something more light-hearted too. We want it to engage our target audience of students by keeping it humorous and interesting without ...
