Content research

The Idea Stage: This unit started on 20th October 2020, and this was the day that my research began. We looked at different news segments as a group and I was able to start thinking critically about them as well as pick up on their conventions. We viewed a five minute clip from BBC News, Channel Four News, and ITV News. All were very different as they all had different brand identities to represent. Something that I really enjoyed in the BBC Headlines, was that the music set the pace of the piece. The shots, transitions, pans and tilts all matched to the traditional BBC News Music. This set a slightly faster pace which added a dramatic element to the programme and in turn fitted with the Traditional BBC theme, as well as holding the audiences attention. Using the music to set the pace was something that I enjoyed, therefore when considering our News Channel, music is something that will have to be strongly considered, as well as the pace that it creates.  Fig. 1 BBC News Headlines ...

Test shoots

Test shoots for this unit were extremely useful to me, especially due to shooting on my own. As I was directing, filming, and acting, I had to make sure that I had planned every shot in detail and made sure that I knew how I wanted it to be executed before filming. As I knew I would have a lot to consider during the shoot days, I tested all shots that I thought would be challenging to complete. As the adaptation that I am creating is going to be quite experimental, there were elements that I felt a bit nervous about shooting. However testing them gave me confidence and knowledge on how to set up the kit successfully to shoot when filming to create the desired effect. I combined research along with my own knowledge to help me during the test shots.  USING A GREEN SCREEN During the planning stages for this unit and idea development I came to the decision that I wanted to be experimental and have the weather reflecting the protagonists mood. At first I did not know how to create this ...

Edit Workshop

Editing- The art of joining separate shots together to create longer sequences to make up the complete story.  What we did: On the 20th January we looked at directing the edit and how to make the complete story. We were taught that the most important thing is to keep editing as an invisible art as the viewer should not notice the edit. Something that I had not previously considered was the power and impact that editing can have; it can create: -Emotion -Drama -Rhythm -Action. We also studied the power of Cinematic Language and how jumping forward to a close up from a medium shot is not real life yet to the viewer it feels normal. I had never thought about this before yet found it interesting as it adds another power to the edit. We then were given some footage directed by Simon Welsford of a man approaching a lady to give her some folders and then leave. It was a really good task as we were all given exactly the same footage yet we all ended up with comple...
