Major Project Pre-Production | Simons Feedback - Platform Changes

-
Today I had my 3rd/4th tutorial with Simon in regards to my pre-production package, I am currently on a track to working on my directors statement and script - I need to develop it a lot more detail.

Simon has mentioned that I have to explain why I want to film in a certain way, how will I film my interviews? Will they be sat down or will it be a casual actuality shot. I need to really express this in my directors statement.

Simon has really expressed that I need to make my directors statement really details, I need to explain each and every action I take - I have no put aside my script to work through my directors statement. He also mentioned I should just do some simple shots of the interviews I'm planning to do, as well as transitions and the way I want to edit this documentary.

He wants me to figure out if I will be talking to the camera or I will be off camera voicing over? I definitely want the camera to be following me on this journey e.g getting on the plane, in the taxi, leaving the community etc.

With the filming coming up in December, I need to make sure I have all of this confirmed and planned, I need to be prepared so the next steps are to complete my detailed directors statement and complete the test shoots I want to film since they might end up changing in the end.

Simon made it clear to me that I cannot have Amazon prime as my platform, Amazon prime does not cast 20 minute documentaries, it simply does not fit into the requirements which I now understand.

I started to do some research and these are a few platforms that would fit the criteria of my documentary;

Kinoteka Film Festival - https://kinoteka.org.uk/about

Festival Gdynia - http://www.festiwalgdynia.pl/en/Array-_festiwal-polskich-filmow-fabularnych.html

I'm thinking of placing my documentary within a film festival platform located in Poland or even the UK.

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
