'As Live' Studio Production: Promotions shoot Day 1

The actual promotions shoot took place today, with the presenters for the show being the focus of the film. We again used Empire, the shop mentioned in a previous blog post. We also had the mannequin for this shoot, as it was the core piece of the idea. We had the mannequin dressed in the clothes that the female presenter, called Adeline, was going to be wearing for the show, as the idea was that she was going to steal it from the shop to wear on the show. 

The manager of the shot was really nice and helpful in allowing us to film in the shop, which made filming there a lot easier as we could talk to him really easily. 

 As mentioned before, we did not need to spend any money to be able to film in the shop. We had an agreement that if we were allowed to film in the shop, then we would provide some free advertising, as the promo was going to be going on social media, which the shop owner, the manager's brother, agreed to. 

 The filming went very well, and we were done within an hour and a half, which was due to the Director knowing exactly what he needed to shoot. It was also down to the actors being very cooperative during the shoot. 

 However, it was later found that the footage was of a poor quality for some reason, which was strange as it looked perfect on the camera's display.

TV News: Helen's feedback

Today we had feed back from Helen about our news report, and what needs to be improved. Hazlitt News Package Needs more context through stats and statistics. Be less formal and journalistic. Find out how they have made the youth theatre commercially viable See if we can talk to the art critic from the KM, who has reviewed the Hazlitt's shows in the past. Fort Luton Live Report We have had to abandon the Fort Luton shoot, because we did not prepare enough in time for the day the show was going to be put on there. New Century Cinema Live Report We decided to do a live report on the independent New Century Cinema, in Sittingbourne. It is still in line with our topic of arts in the South-East, and provides a different aspect to the performing arts that we'll show with the Hazlitt. The cinema can provide a social environment for kids, and help them get into cinema as an art form too. Also because the cinema is independent, we can talk about the issues the c...

TV News: Top line and Why Independent arts

The independent Arts are becoming less important in todays society of technology, so we felt like it was time to have a story about the arts in the news in order to raise awareness about the different areas of arts, and hopefully create an interest in them. The Hazlitt Youth Theatre and the Electric Palace in Maidstone are the subjects of our news report. The youth theatre is celebrating it's 20th anniversary, which means that it has helped young people find a creative outlet, and an appreciation for the performing arts in Maidstone for 20 years. The Electric Palace in Hastings, is an independent cinema that screens not only the big releases that you would find at any Odeon, but also independent films, and B-Movies too. The cinema has a dedicated B-Movie Fan Club which is curated by 18 year old Robin Knowles. The fan club helps him with his autism and enables him to share his love for B-Movies on a monthly basis. This cinema has won awards for it's film programming in the pas...

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.

All of this being carried out is what will create a better post-production experience. Through some research into editing workflows, I found that there are 7 steps to the process, which when carried out, check all the boxes of what an editor needs to do.  1. Media Ingestion and Management - Copying your video media from your camera to your computer.  You need to have  an easy to understand, r...
