Digital News - Location and Contributers Issues

-
Lately we have been having some issues with locations, people seem to not want Student filming in their locations for free! We wanted to film our studio part at the Kent Farm but sadly they told us that they only allow marketing to be filmed at the premises so that went in the bin. I also tried to contact the Lock-meadow staff here in Maidstone to see if we could film at their premises where they had a lot of fun event BUT they also said no to us as they are too popular and have way too many visitors. It started to annoy me but i didn't give up there, i am now trying to contact the 'Escape Hub' in Maidstone to hopefully get a location booked in and also i'm trying to get a hold of many different coffee shops and locations in Folkestone to try and film some exciting footage there.

I really hope we get something confirmed very soon and people stop turning us down just because we are student! We also have an issue were we are filming Friday and do not have a presenter for the LIVE section of our production, if worse comes to worse i'm going to have to do it! I've been trying desperately to get permission to come and film in the Moonlight Cinema in paddock wood as they are a great event to showcase in our production, they have already answered a few of my emails and it is looking good! I tried to get my previous actors that i have used in previous short films but they seem to all be BUSY. So i started to post some jobs on casting call pro and see if i get any responses for some great presenters, i used this website last year and it worked great. I need to get a presenter for the studio section and also a presenter for folkestone and the drive in cinema.

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
