As Live Production - Filming 'Fashion Fails' VT

-
Today we shot the 'Fashion Fails' VT with our contibutor's Josie and Ian. The group firstly went to film Ian from trading standards to get his opion and view on things and the second half in the evening was spent filming Josie and her fashion fail experience. It took place at my own home in the living room, since it gave a very homely warm feeling. It didn't take long and went very smoothly.


The first half of the shoot i wasn't able to make but the group gave me some feedback on how it ended.

When filming the second half of Fashion Fails we had a small issue with lighting because we didn't have any LED portable lights and my own lights were way too yellow, Andreya decided to play around the the camera and change the expsoure which made it look much better.

Josie was calm and had a lot of fashion fails online already. She sudies at an open university and learns about geograhy and genetics. The story that she talked about was ordering a bag online and it being completely different to when it arrived.

The only little problem we had is that Josie didn't have the original item with her, we had to think of something different and quick. We decided to change the story up a little bit to where rather than the bah we changed it into a purce. Josie told us that the purse she had with her in fact comes from Etsy also. It worked really well even though we had to change the story up a little big. Another small little problem was where we could place Josie in the room. A lot of the lighting didn't make sense in most areas so we had to use back up lighting.

Josie completed a piece to camera with LED lighting facing her to create a nice comfy mood lighting. We also decided to use a candle and a plant to show some interesting scenery, i also had a fish tank that i thoght would look great with the LED lighting.

Overall everyone was very happy with the way this shoot went.

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
