3rd Year Project: My Project Shoot Day 1

Two weeks ago, I started my shoot week for my project. I was meant to start on Monday, however that shoot had to be cancelled, which I will talk about later in this post. also, because of the time of me getting the needed equipment, I moved one of the two shoots on the day to the next day.


The shoot was an interview at the house of one of the volunteers at the club, called Barbie. I chose to interview her as she has been a volunteer at the lunch club for almost the whole time that it has been active, plus the fact that she is the person who suggested helping out there to my nan, which she did. Me and my crew arrived at the location around midday, and took half an hour setting up the cameras and mics. we had a three camera setup, with the main camera, the Panasonic, being a wider shot than the other two, having Barbie's body in the frame. The second camera, a Sony, was on a close-up of Barbie's face, so that it could focus on her facial expressions. The third camera was a smaller Panasonic camera that I owned, which alternated between her facial expressions and her hand movements. 

The shoot went really well, and was done within the time that I had scheduled for it. When I put the footage onto my laptop, I had a look at it and the footage from all cameras looked really good, however due to the fact that they were different cameras, the footage looks slightly different, so it is going to be difficult to colour correct them to look more similar.

If I was to do this shoot again, I think I would have a few more questions for Barbie top ask so that I have got more options to put into the edit.

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 ...
