Transition Unit: Role for unit and Ideas for project

With this new transition unit, we had a choice on what to focus on for our project. However, we had to make sure that the role that we were in for the project was the role that we would be undertaking for our third year project. We could either choose a piece of television or film to re create in our own style, or if we wanted to be a script writer, write a script, which could be something new, or added onto an existing piece, for example write a script for a new episode of a television series. 

We had to base our project off of some already existing work to draw inspiration from it, such as techniques used in the shots or script, and try and use them in our own projects.

The role that I wanted to undertake for this project was a camera operator, as I had grown to enjoy that role more due to my time on a camera for our 'As Live' Studio Production unit.  However, I asked several people if they needed a camera operator on their project, and they said that they had already got one. Because of this, I had to take my second role choice, which was editor. I have enjoyed editing in the past, but it has only been for my own projects, not as part of a group. Because of this, I was nervous, but willing to take the challenge.

The idea that brought me and the two other people in my group, Jack Whiteley and George Wing, together was making a music video for the song 'Changes', which was originally sung by Ozzy Osbourne, but has had various covers, such as him singing it with his daughter Kelly, which has some of the lyrics changed, plus a version by Eminem. We wanted to choose a version and create a music video for it, as none of these three were accompanied with one. 

This was the idea for some time, until we decided to change it to shooting a couple of scenes from the show "The Wrong Mans', starring James Corden and Matthew Baynton. I hadn't seen this series, so I watched a few episodes and it looks quite good.

Live Studio Production: Ideas

Live studio idea We were told that we had to start thinking about what the theme of our Live Studio Production is going to be, and were tasked to come up with some ideas to pitch. This was the idea that I thought of. A chat show, but the guests do activities, similar to graham norton or Ellen degeners  First half could be getting to know the guests, some stories that they have ( either embarrassing or saucy etc ) Have some general chat between the guests, of which there are two or three. Not as scripted as it needs to feel like a natural conversation  Second half is the guests doing some activities, such as CAH, or similar to Norman VT from last years project. Have two or three different activities  End with scores, winner gets a prize, loser(s) have to do a forfeit. My partner had the idea to have a talent show for the disabled, so we decided to combine the two and have a chat show that focuses on the mentally or physically disabled, and ...
