Major project - Overseas Risk Assessment + Forms

-
Over the time that I have been with the course I was very familiar with the risk assessments but this was the first time I had to do one for overseas filming. When originally filling in my risk assessment I had emails back and forth telling me there is not enough information, I decided to speak with Helen who has filmed abroad and she gave me a few tips in how to filled the paper work in correctly and in depth. 


After making all necessary amendments I finally managed to get the risk assessment signed off. I didn't actually realise how important it was to get this assessment filled in correctly. As I am being multi-skilled on this project and flying overseas to make it a reality I have to be responsible for all kinds of risks that have to be outlined. I had to do a little bit of research online with this as I had no idea what kinds of risk I could be facing, it was interesting to see external sources write about hundreds of different types of risks that can occur on flights, driving, weather, equipment ect. 

It was really important for me to understand this as I could risk not being able to take out any equipment and this would delay all future shoots and work for myself. I did not realise that there was a whole government health and safety website where I could read about all these possible risks, this really opened up my eyes to make sure I am being careful and save throughout this project.

My budget was finalised and I was very happy when I received around £180 in donations for this project, the remainder was made by my own funds.

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
