AS Live VT: Helen's Oppinion

Today we showed our edit to Helen and she gave some very constructive criticism. She told us how she thought the VT should be laid out and gave us some advice for future shoots such as the subjects need to be set up and so we need to get a sequence to show who the subject is before we start seeing them speak/ interview them.

We are re-shooting a few things tonight and hopefully what we film will change our VT and make it a better.

As Live Vt: Re-shoot

We had planned to re-film over the weekend but the camera was not working properly and so there was nothing we could do about it. We wanted to re-record the interview, some of Jess's pieces to camera and a few voice overs. Luckily have been able to get Jess on board to re shoot one of the PTCs and the voices overs on Monday once we have a different camera. We won't have time to re-shoot the interview so we will have to deal with what we have.

The content of the footage isn't bad its just the picture quality which lets it down a bit. The shots and music we do have fit together nicely and I think we have done a good job with the clips we have got.

AS Live VT: The Edit

I put all the footage on the computer today and for some reason it is all quite grainy and I'm not sure why as it was on low gain. I have also realised that the lighting on Zoe in the interview is not excellent which is really annoying as her answers are so good.

Abbi and I will try our best to edit the footage the best we can but hopefully we can arrange to re-shoot at some point.

AS Live VT: The Shoot

Yesterday we had a shoot inside and outside Earls which I think went pretty well. Jess, the presenter, was really easy to work and get along with and was very professional. We shot a few pieces to camera and I also shot a few acts performing.

Today we had a shoot at the Style and Winch and again Jess was very professional and easy to work with. We filmed a few pieces to camera, GV's, shots of the bands and an interview with Zoe explaining what the fringe festival was all about.

Tomorrow I am hopefully going to upload the footage and start editing.

Being a Vision Mixer

Watching this video really helped me understand my role as vision mixer even more. I found it so helpful.

AS Live: Email

Today I had a meeting with Helen about mine and Abbi's Madistone Gig Guide VT. We decided that we need to have a bit of an interview in there so that it made the piece more interesting. We realised that there was a contestant on the Voice who lived locally and thought that we might be able to get an interview with her. I emailed her manager to ask if being a part of "Unsigned" would be something she would be interested in.

I am that they get back to me within the next week

I was also talking to Lauren Woodfall and she said that she knows a women called Zoe Sparkle who organises alot of the music events around Maidstone and she is also a very good talker. I think she would also be good to interview to get more information on the Maidstone music scene.

I have drafted up an initial shooting script which I will show Helen to see what she thinks.

Finished Fiction Adaptation

Here's my finished fiction adaptation on Lewis Carroll's famous Jabberwocky poem. I'm really proud of this video and defiantly is my best work to date.
