Pre-production: Lunch Club Visit 2

On the 31st October, I went back to the Lunch Club which is being the focus of my documentary in order to get some more information about the people who go there. I wanted to go more than once as I wanted to try and talk with people who hadn't been at the club the previous month. 

 I spoke with one woman called Dee, and she was really friendly and informative. the reason why she started coming to the club was that she had recently moved to the area and did not know anyone, but heard about the club and thought it would be a good place to meet new people. She has not been coming to the club for over 5 years. it is this type of story that I want to show in my documentary. She is also on the ministry care team at the church, so she comes to the club partly for the meal and social aspect of it, but also to interact with the customers and see if they need anything that the care team can provide

 One other person there was called Jean, and she was a volunteer, but I was not able to talk with her the previous month. She has been coming to the club for about 2 years, and originally came to the club as a customer, but one day she was asked to help out, and she just stuck with it. she told me that she really enjoys coming to the club and helping out the people who come to it. she told me that for most of the people who come here, both customer and volunteer, this is an important day for them.

 I spoke with several other people, and was looking forward to coming to the club the next month

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. Doing this will also cause you less stress inn your production, which can also help your editing, as when you are stressed about it, there may be some things that you miss during the 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...
