VT Practice

We all got into groups of 4 and we had to make a specially shot VT working to the brief:
"Maidstone is a thriving commuter town within easy reach of major motorways to London and access to europe via Dover"
Before we went out filming we wrote a script and thought of locations we wanted to film at. We also thought about specially shot sequences and GVs we could use in the VT.

When we got out on location we realised we had forgotten a tripod so to compensate for this we made sure alot of our shots were moving so that you couldnt really notice that the shots were unsteady.

We recorded a voice over for the VT and gathered some archive and then began editing.

Here is our final cut.

We learnt alot from this project and so now we can make sure our VTs for the show are perfect.
What we learnt:
  • Always take a tripod
  • Always take a wild track
  • Make sure every shot is in focus and exposed correctly
  • Make sure moves are smooth and follows the action
  • Make sure the shots are intresting and framed nicely
