Script to Screen- Development Lab

-
Today we had a Pitch Development Day where we split into groups of three an discussed our initial ideas for Script to Screen. I found it extremely useful as it was great experience to give someone else feedback; other members of my group, and to hear feedback about my own idea. I was able to outline my idea and then they asked questions about sections that did not quite make sense and this helped me to link the story up together smoothly. For example I had a moment where a secondary character was needed however I had not thought of how they could enter the story, so working with two other group members enabled me to get a better flow to my story outline. We then filled out a sheet that split our idea into the following sections:

Then we finalised our first 25 word pitch, this will probably change as the development process continues but my first pitch was: A childs world is a fun world, but an Adults world is something to be feared. 

We stood in the green screen room and Fergus recorded us individually saying our Pitch's to the camera. This was a useful experience because when I am presenting ideas or pitches in the future I will have to confidently believe in my idea and prove to who I'm presenting it to that it is the best idea so that they will want to use it. It was great practice staring straight into the camera and then watching it back as I could see what I would change about presenting my pitch; for example being louder and more confident.

My advice from Simon was to add more words to part of my pitch just to tie it closer to my idea, so I will definitely edit my pitch for when it is presented next. 

In conclusion I really enjoyed developing ideas together and I will now feel more confident presenting my idea to Steve and in future presenting my ideas, along with helping others and also letting other help me to adapt and change ideas.

Introduction:  This unit, has by far been the most rewarding experience that I have ever undergone. When starting it 13 weeks ago I could have never imaged the creative journey that we were about to undergo, and the amount of skills that I would develop. Admittedly, there were a multitude of moments in which we faced challenges, yet finding solutions and overcoming these hurdles in order to gain knowledge on how to do something better next time, is all part of the production process.  Being a Producer:  Being a Producer has always been my ambition, hence I feel very proud of myself that we get commissioned and got to take on the role. Despite this, it was not at all how I expected it to be. I do feel that before this unit I was under the misconception that Producing was mainly focussed around being organised, yet there is so much more to it than this (Benioff, 2016). It is about being supportive to the team (Kellison, 2008:14), and making sure that everything is explained clearly. As w

Test shoots

As Producers when undergoing test shots our main focus was with health and safety and how we can have a production space that looks great, but that also is practical and safe due to us having multiple people at all shoots. "A Producers job is to overcome obstacles" ( Brown et al , 2016:13) and that is exactly what we had to do with test shots; hence our solution was something rather creative.  We decided to create a miniature version of our set design, as this way we were able to be "good problem solvers" ( Brown et al , 2016:13) as that is essential when producing and by having a model set we were able to mark out any health and safety risks that could occur when shooting with the shots that had been planned. It was vital for us to plan out the health and safety dangers of the set as we have a duty of care ( Brown et al , 2016:64) and we need to make sure that we adhere to it, hence being able to see visually what the risks around the set may be, enabled us to then

Being in a Television Studio:  For this unit one of the most important aspects to research was actually creating an As Live show and working in a Television Studio environment. It is vital to know what the purpose of each space is in the studio, as well as each role and what they consist of. I also wanted to understand how communication worked around the studio and between the gallery and the studio. Jonathan was really good at explaining clearly to us how the studio space worked, and the purpose of everything in there. He began by walking us around and talking through it all, this was incredibly useful as when being in a studio it is important to know how it all works as well as the studio terminology (Brown et al , 2016:39) I was surprised by the amount elements in the studio that served a specific purpose that I have seen multiple times but never known what they do. For example the is a red line on the floor surrounding the studio space called the 'fire line' thus if the fir
