'As Live' Studio Production: Promos research

With the ideas that we have decided to carry out, we have all gone away to research potential locations that we could use to film them, along with possibly using some actors. 

 With the group favourite idea of having a man steal a mannequin from a shop window, then wear the clothes while walking down the high street with flashes of a catwalk, I went to have a look at some local locations, and found some that were very good. 

 One of these locations was the mens shop 'Burtons'. I chose to reccy this location due to it fitting well with the story that we want to convey to the audience. I had a talk with the manager about filming in the shop, but he said that he would have to check with his bosses, so i gave him my details, but have not heard back from him yet

 I needed to try ad secure a back-up location in case 'Burtons' failed to deliver, so I knew of another shop a bit further down the high street called 'Empire', which is a shop that also sells quite a lot of male clothes. I went into the shop and asked the member of staff if it was possible to do some filming in the shop. He said that he would have to ask his brother, who was the manager of the shop, so I gave him my details and am still waiting to hear back from him

 After this, I went into some charity shops to see if they had any spare mannequins, as we needed to try and secure one for the skit. However, all of the shops said that they did not have any male mannequins free.

Structure and Content A good package will contain a mix of the following elements :  – Interviews, vox pops & set ups  – Sequences and actuality  – GVs/archive  – PTCs and walky talkies  – GFX It is useful to structure your piece as you might a good written piece of work:  – INTRO  – BODY OF ARGUMENT – expert opinion, stats, backgrou...

Editing Workflow

There are several steps that an editor needs to take when working on a project, and they need to be taken well so that the work is carried out at the best quality and best ability of the editor. It is always good for an editor to have a good workflow, as this will save so much time and effort in the long run, when carrying out this workflow becomes the standard way that you carry out an edit.

Fiction adaptation workshop

Experimental camera angles We were tasked with using various camera techniques and angles to create a short film that included elements that we may want to include in our final piece. I chose to shoot a piece with the same theme for my final piece, which is Despair. I wanted to use a variety of shot types so that I could practice them for my real shoot. https://youtu.be/_6Nqfn8Jrjw
