Pitch idea - Isolated - Project Research

-
So i had this idea going through my mind for a while now, i've been thinking i wanted to shoot something like the 'Breakfast Club' but not exactly like the movie. I wanted to create it into my own version so this is the idea i came up with;

TESTING MY IDEAS

Story: 4 very different teenagers who do not know each other and always ignore one-another at school have detention on a Saturday morning, they all did something individually wrong and cannot stand being in school on a Saturday, eventually as the time goes on they really get to know each other and become a great group of friends.

Characters:
Mike- The football fanatic who plays in every game and all the girls drool over him, in reality he is an absolute dumbass. 
Lacey- Little miss perfect who is absolutely ordinary and boring, all she cares about is her fake look and awful personality.
Casey-A classical school obsessed student, always does his homework and NEVER gets into any trouble, always on top of every class.
Nancy-The shy girl, has no friends and does not know how to dress. Always pushed to the side and never wanting to be around people, wants to keep herself to herself.

Location:
A library/classroom
A garden/smoking area

25 Word Pitch:
Students who get disciplined, have to spend an entire Saturday in detention. All four learn each others differences while being kept isolated from their cliques.

Mike

Lacey

Casey

Nancy

Library

Fiction Adaptation - Trespass - John Clare research

-
Image
While coming up with my proposal i really wanted to discover more about John Clare. John was born in 1793 and was a very famous poet, he was born as the son of a farm labourer and did not have much money. Many individuals state that Clare is 'the greatest labouring class poet that England has ever produced' since he came from a very poor background. While reading up on his background it was very hard, he had a troubled childhood and was also sent to an asylum where he had written most of his poems. I chose the Trespass poem due to me really having a strong connection to it. I feel as John Clare felt a lot of loneliness and pain during the time that this poem was written. The sonnet has rhyming couplets and seems less angry even though it is in-fact very sad. Clare really felt despair and pain while this poem was written. Clare was born into a middle class family and felt as he wanted to express these feelings within his other poems. I couldn't really find any informati...

As Live Production - TX and Final Rehersal

Today was the day we were all preparing for! 'Steal the Style' went live! Everything egan shart at 9:00am, since the lighting and set team had to come in early to get started. Most of the work had to be completed way before the transmission hour which was 14:00. First thing me and George got to doing is setting up talkbacks and giving them out, these have an effective communication between everyone within the gallery and floor. Everyone was set and ready to go with final rehersals that started first thing in the morning, during these rehersals we were feeling confident. We were hitting our 30 minute mark and nothing had gone wrong. Everyone was ready our presenters, contributors, models, techs, first years etc. Both me and George had to make sure that all camer ops recieve a talkback and each one of us (Me, George, Jack) as the floor managers. We had a spare talkback which was given to Harvey Amiees sound assistant. We had one talkback that was broken and couldn...

As Live Production - First look into Studio Production (workshop)

Today we had a very exciting workshop with Del, it was our first go at working in a real Studio Production atmosphere. We all had a go at different jobs such as Floor Managin, Sound, Directing, VT, Talent etc. We also had a go at playing around in the gallery and seeing what it takes to be a vocal Director. We all had a go and realised that when we go live all of us tone our voices down and really start to focus very strongly on what to say and what shot to play live. I had so much fun during this workshop but found out that most of the jobs are very difficult! Escpecially my own, being a floor manager comes with many different responsibilities. I realised that i had to really nail my 'Floor Manager' hand signals. I also found it difficult to manage the talent, Del told me that i had to be nexto each camera when live so that the talent can look at you and the correct camera. Me and George both decided to take care of one talent each - i would be in charge of Adeline and Georg...
