How the show will look?

How do you want the show to look? the show will start with a title sequence which will be made up of short clips from the existing lever street shooting. You will be able to see clips of the different bands performing on stage, shots of the studio crew (Camera, floor manager) and it will then cut to clips of the gallery room showing the director, vision mixer, and sound mixer. All the shots will be fast paste to go with the music in the background. I will also use graphics for the shows name. After the opening title sequence it will cut to piece to camera of the presenters who will be Matty and Rebecca who will be welcoming the viewers to the show and giving them a short insight of what to expect on the show. It will then cut to the VT (1st act) it will show the band performing their song on stage. After the performance the camera will follow the crowd coming off stage and going backstage were there will be a presenter to interview them briefly about their performance asking them questions like whats the message behind your song? how do they feel?, did they feel nervous when on stage?, what did they think of the filming crew? any messages to upcoming artist. The questions and answers will be short and brief as I want them to go in more detail about the day when they come in for the studio interview. After the VT we will cut back to the studio were the presenter will introduce the acts you saw in the VT and begin to interview them. Asking them questions such as how they got into music, did their parents support them, and what they message would be to people who want to go into this industry but have parents who don't agree with their choices, how should they go about convincing their parents. Are there opportunities available. And finally whats their next move, and are they close to their big break? this will be the the way the show will run. The different performances will be shown as VT's and then have the band come in to the studio and talk about their performance in more detail. I will also have one maximum two performances live on the day so we can cut from and interview to the performance and then back to the presenters who will then introduce the next VT. This will hopefully make the show more interesting instead of it just being made up of VT's and interviews. Will there be presenters? For my show I am hoping to have two presenters Matty and Rebecca. I have chose these two as my presenters as I believe that they make good presenters as they are both confident speakers and both are cheesy and bubbly which make good presenters as they keep the viewers interested and entertained. What will the Vt fillers consist of? The VT will show the band performing their song on stage. After the performance the camera will follow the crowd coming off stage and going backstage were there will be a presenter to interview them briefly about their performance asking them questions like whats the message behind your song? how do they feel?, did they feel nervous when on stage?, what did they think of the filming crew? any messages to upcoming artist. The questions and answers will be short and brief as I want them to go in more detail about the day when they come in for the studio interview.

Diary - Sam

27/02/12 In todays lesson we all took turns to stand up in front of the group and pitch our idea. My show will have to parts to it, the 1st part will look at genuine boxing fans, for this i will be interviewing a guy that i know who is an up coming boxer. I will look at how he got into boxing?, how has it influenced his life, and what are his ambitions for the future for him? The 2nd half of the show will look at whats going on in the boxing industry. For example I was looking at the David Haye and Dereck Chisora's brawl and what people thought off the whole situation. who was in the wrong? and why? and would they like to see them fight in the ring. My 2nd idea is to look at Amir Khan and Lamont Preston's rematch, as this will more of a fresh story as it is in may, close to the filming dates. 5/03/12 In todays lesson we split ourselves into two groups, which will be our actual groups for this assignment. Our project manger will be Josh. For next lesson we will all decide when we want to film so we know who’s filming when and who’s helping who film. I have spoken to Ilyas who will be the person who I interview regarding my idea (Boxing). I have emailed him asking him if he is available to be interviewed. I am now working on writing the script so that Ilyas has a chance to see the questions I will be asking him before I film. Team Members……… Me Josh Abid Luke Kas Jo Andy Imogen Rebecca Ezra 19/03/12 In todays lesson, in the morning I worked on writing the questions I would be asking Ilyas (Boxer who I will be interviewing). After I finished writing the questions I sent the questions to Ilyas so that he can prepare some answers before hand. We also discussed when he would be available for filming. He told me he is available this weekend so I will hopefully film either on the 24th or the 25th of march between 12-5pm. After I had written the questions for Ilyas I began writing a scene by scene breakdown Of how the VT will look and what will it consist of. For example I spoke about what archive footage and pictures i would be using and that I will have Abid doing the voice over explaining what it is that were seeing. I then went on to talk about the location were I will be filming (Boxing Club) and how some of the shots will look. 14/05/12 Todays lesson was to reherse our programmes but as usual we had people problems, for example some people still neded to edit thir footage, luke was not able to film his origional idea so he came up with a new idea and began filming his idea. I also lost my voiceover which slowed me dwn, but I quickly found the voice recording machine and recorded and added a new voice over. After I was done I helped Josh and abid set up the studio all afternoon.

Example of Music Video VT

In todays lesson we were put into small groups and were given footage of all the groups and were asked to edit the footage we have to make a VT for a Music Video. For this group project I was working with Mikael, Abid, and Danny. We faced many problems through out the day and didn't get our VT finished in time, which meant we had to stay behind to finish it. There isn't anybody individual to blame as we all didn't listen and follow instruction. Peter had given us all a folder with the same footage making it fair and equal as all the groups had the same footage to edit with. But as we wasn't listening and I was late we didn't hear this and opened an existing project and began editing the footage. In the end we found the folder that Peter had given us and made the 30sec VT. What i learnt from this is that even when i come in late i should ask the tutor what we are doing and not rely on fellow students as they also may not know.

Analyses of Tinie Tempah - Till Im Gone (live performance) - Peters Assignment

The video I have chosen too look at and analyse is a live performance of Tinie Tempah's song Till Im Gone. Watching through the video I have noticed that there are 8 different cameras being used too capture different shots. Most of the cameras are at the front of the stage getting high and low angle shots. There are two cameras on stage one camera is low and follows Tinie Tempahs movement as a mid shot. The secound camera is high up which looks down from a birds eye view angle on Tinie Tempah and the crowd. There is a camera on the left side of the stage which concentrates on the performers. there is another camera at the the centre of the stage which gets front close ups of Tinie Tempah.

The video is fast passed and cuts from shot to shot quickly. You never see one shot on screen for more than 4sec. The shots are mainly of Tinie Tempah but they have kept the shots interesting by cutting to shots of the crowd from time to time. There are also shots which move which are done using the cameras that are high up which are on a rope/wire, for example the camera on stage which moves from the stage to the crowd and then the same effect except in reverse is done by a camera which moves from the crowd to the stage.

For a shoot like this you will require a huge camera crew and then them cameras may also need assisstants to run around getting the equipment needed for example if the battery is running low you can ask the assistant to go get another battery. You should never leave the equipment unattended at any time during the shoot. You will also require a floor manager to help make sure everything runs smoothly on the studio floor. For this shoot they may have required two floor managers due too the vast amount of space there is to cover.

The crew will also require a vision mixer too operate the vision mixer and put the shots together listenning to the orders given to him/her by the director. The shoot would have also had a person controling the sound levels using the sound mixer. The sound mixer is a very important role as it is important the sound is clear and loud, but at the same time not two loud that it sounds distorted. The sound is just as important as the shots.

And finally the crew would need a director. The director is the main person of the team and is the one that gives the orders and tells the rest of the team what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. The director will stay in the gallery room and communicate with the team on the studio floor using the talk back system. The floor manager is the eyes of the director on the studio floor.

1st assessment date - 10/01/12 (Peter's Work)

Todays lesson was the 1st assessment date for filming the bands. The group met up at 9:30 at the studio on lever street. We wasted no time and got on with getting the equipment out of the van and setting it up. We had many practice sessions before so it didn't take us long to set up all the equipment. After having set up we went for a quick practice shot too make sure everything is working and is running smoothly. The practice shot went smoothly and everything was in the right place and working.

We then broke for lunch and were told that when we come back we will have 15mins too make any changes before the first group arrives. Overall we had 5 acts that we had to film...... Josh Lipman - 1:30, Joel Murphy - 2:00, Yu Min Kang x2 - 3:00, Tom - 3:30. Overall the performances went smoothly and when we intervied the acts they said they were happy with our work and didnt have any problems or issues.

We all had various job roles that we had to under take. I personally had 4 job roles too do....

1st - Camera 2
2nd - Sound mixer
3rd - Camera 2 Assistant
4th - Vision mixer

Overall I believe I fullfiled what each job role required from me and I did it without any need for assistants.

The only problem that we faced as a group was when ustream crashed meaning we couldnt upload the performance live on to the web. We over came this issue by deciding to record the footage on to the tri caster.

Overall the filming went smoothly and we got all the bands filmed. The only thing that we need to improve for next time is too speed up the setting up proccess.

Meeting With Saf (Dave's Work) - 09/01/12

In todays lesson we went to speak with the head of our campus (Saf) too speak to him about the campus and to ask him what he could tell us about the campus. The information that he gave us was very useful and also he had some useful pictures of how the campus looked like before it went under construction. He told us about future plans that were being thought about for example clear the inside basketball court so it could be used, and also plans of making room for a common room were students can go at break/lunch. Overall the main things being talked about in the meetings are to give the students more to do.

We were not able to film him today as he wasn't ready to be filmed, so we just asked him the questions and made notes of his answers which we will make into a script and give too Saf so he knows exactly what to say when we film him, making the process smoother a quicker.

Erin has now written the script all we need to do is email Saf the script so he can learn it by next week so we can hopefully interview Saf on camera by wednesday.
