Digital News - Wanderlust Website & Social Media

-

I have previous experience in creating websites so i took it on to create one for our News Unit! I had also created us a Youtube channel and a Twitter account, it feels real now! I am really happy with how the website had turned out and how our logo + colour pallet looks. The website has all the key elements it needs to make sure our viewers understand how our episodes work, i added a 'About Us' section and also a 'Previous Episodes' section which covers all basis of the entire project. Callum writes our articles for the 'Previous Episodes' section and Amber made our fantastic logo and colour pallet, while i am working on all the social networks.

I'm still working on small adjustments but it is looking and working very well, i need to make some graphics on the YouTube channel and we need to upload some Promos for the episode 'Kent'. While working on these they didn't take long to create but i want to make sure that they look the best and work exactly as i plan to. I really feel like the colours work perfectly with the name and also the entire idea, our main 2 colours are mustard yellow and a dark turquoise. We thought these colours would work really well because we added further detailing with the arrows and compasses which fit in with the project. Callum originally thought that a map and a compass/magnifying glass would look fantastic, he first created his own logo and Amber also created one both were fantastic but we stuck to the mustard yellow colour pallet. In addition i feel like the small details like the arrows in the logo feels very adventures which is our entire goal, we want to make sure people understand that we explore the UK fully and find all the hidden gems.

 Once the initial colour palette was designed and completed i showed the website and social media to the rest of the group for feedback and they were very happy. We look forward to filling it in with some content. I made sure that all social media links were easy to find on the website and that our brand focuses heavily on the use of social media to connect with our viewers as we discover the UK, i made a Twitter and YouTube.

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

-
Image
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...
