Project Material

Overall my initial idea came from TV shows such as (The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars etc.) where siblings have met in a very awkward or unhappy circumstances. Overall it got me thinking and liking the idea of two sisters meeting for the first time for my initial 2-minute video, but for the script i like the idea of the 2 sisters having a feud over their mothers death. I also have read news articles online of siblings and family's finally reuniting after long years of not knowing they exist. One of the most popular TV dramas by the name 'Jeremy Kyle' always has these situations occurring on the show. This is how i really started to develop my idea, i started to wonder if it should be over a family members death or just them being apart for a while. In conclusion it was clearly both but very different in my video and script which i am really happy with.

One article really had me interested that i found on BBC news before writing up my pitch and that was about two sisters meeting after long 28 years of trying to find each other. It was just a beautiful moment when they finally met. Their mother decided to hide one of the siblings pregnancy from their father and send one of the daughters for adoption and THAT was my original idea for my movie! A perfect example of what i wanted it to be a great meeting between to sisters who have not seen each-other EVER. There is also a video on the article of the two women meeting and that is exactly what i wanted to execute, just in a more hostile way to create drama and tension.

Fiction Adaptation - Trespass - John Clare research

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 - VT Reasearch 'Fashion Fails'

Fashion Fails – Internet Shopping Websites I have actually experiences these issues in the past with ‘Online Shopping’ you can never be sure if what you order is what you will actually get. I have researched a few websites that have this issue and how could we possibly stop them? The first website that has caught my eye is ‘Zaful’ . This online store describes itself as ‘Trendy women’s fashion’ it started off with just bikini sales but developed into clothing also – I have noticed this online store getting more and more attention due to Youtuber sponsorships, Zaful sent Bikinis and clothing for free to popular Youtubers to review them. This is where some of their stuff really came differently to what was show online. Most of their bikinis are VERY small when ordered in a Medium or Small, ‘It would fit a child’ one Youtuber mentioned while reviewing the clothing off the site. You cannot tell a lot from their pictures either, there is no description of mate

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
