Hidden Events

When we were done with the briefing of the unit Helen asked us to form a group to be in for this unit. Me, Callum, Joni and Amber formed a group and started to discuss the kind of TV News we could film. After we have been discussing for a while Amber mentioned that there was an opened air cinema that will be in Rochester next weekend, we instantly jumped on the idea and started to brain storm from it. 

 Callum started ti think about all the event that are hidden from the public and not a lot of people think about. We all then came up with the idea that we should do a TV News production about all the hidden events that are based in Kent. We could really take advantage of this idea as it reaches a good age range of people between 15-30 and it could also reach out to people who love particular event. 

 Thinking about the idea more we decided to do the live element on the open-aired cinema and then try and research more into the hidden gems of Kent. We were originally going to expand the idea all the way to London areas but Helen thought that it would be more interesting if we stuck to Kent as this is where our audience is located. 
I started to do my own research into the hidden locations/events in Kent and found many that i had never known about! 

The Luna cinema is something truly extraordinary, i thought that open cinemas have been gone forever but i was mistaken. 

We had a lot of ideas about secret locations in London but now we need to dig deeper for Kent!

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
