Camera workshop: Piece to camera and Teleprompter practice

We were given a story that had been in the news recently about a new scheme that Arriva are using that will have free wifi accessible on their buses in certain areas, which include Gravesend, Bluewater and Northfleet. This was what we were going to be talking about while practicing with the cameras.
Wable to have another go at using the new Panasonic DVX 4K cameras, as well as get some practice as to how our pieces to camera will be shot. This also gives us an idea how the presenter of our show should act in front of the camera during these segments.

This is part of the piece that we shot.

We were also able to have a go at using a teleprompter, which is something that I have never had the opportunity to do before. A member of my group took the footage, which was shot in front of a green screen, and edited it so that there was a better background in place of the green screen.

This is the footage shot.

Documentary unit: Jackie interview

So we could get an outside view on fake fear, we were able to secure an interview with an actual adrenaline junkie, only thing was, she's 73! She was amazing to interview, and her answers were so descriptive, which gave us some area to play around with during the edit. We needed to rearrange the house to better suit an interview, and when we realised that we would have to do that, we were glad that we were filming in one of our own homes instead of Jackie's house, or in a public area, as we then had control over the whole environment. Jackie was a pleasure to interview, as she was very relaxed and had a great sense of humour to match.
