Studio Production: First task as a VT producer



- First steps - looking at current ideas given by Producer (Joshua Jones)

Above is the original theme and instructions that the producer has given me to work with. I will now sit down with the VT Team (Saskia, Ellie, Josh b, Troy) to see what ideas they have. From this I will select the best ones and put them forward to the producer. 
- Possible ideas
CASTING CALL: 
- use of different props to disorientate the idea
-The shining, "heres Johnny" 
- Cassablanca, "Frankly my dear I dont give a damn"
- When Harry met Sally, date scene" 
- Dirty Dancing "
- Ghost - pottery scene
FACE SWAP: ** revise ideas ** 
- play around with the idea of body parts 
- Maybe dress up like the celebrity and impersonate
- take a celebrity and the roles that he has played, take the props they have used and tries them on in the mirror and the contestant guesses them

 - Harry Potter 
- Johnny depp
- Tim burton characters 
- Angelina Jolie/Malificent/Mr and Mrs Smith 
- Uma Therman/ Kill bill/ Pulp fiction 
- Margot Robbie
- Tom Hanks
SILENT MOVIES x 3 titles 
- Lion, the witch and the wardrobe
- Spider Man
- Lord of The rings
- Cat Woman
- Jaws
-Clueless
- Snakes on a plane

 NAME THAT THEME: Must find different idea due to the technical difficulties of learning songs on a recorder. Doesn't seem feasible enough. 

 I AIN'T AFRAID OF NO HOST: 
- Video must be quite boring - No fancy shots, Slowly explaining the game
- jump scare must be intense - The demon woman's face that pops up in viral videos- Graphics to make it non copywrights
- use of the actor in a scream mask
TRIVIA VT - 
-"Did you know" themed questions 
- Jump cut style, pops up different places
- Could be walking through a cinema (see hazzlit theatre)
- 


- What next
I need to go through and see how feasible these ideas actually are and maybe put forward some better ideas if they wont be able to work.

Directions: Drama: SFX make up

For my production I wanted to create prosthetics to heighten the believability and the quality of my zombies. I watched a lot of youtube tutorials and I realised that there is a technique to creating such pieces but I was really willing to try it out. Usually you would need to make a a cast for the persons face but I decided to simplify it for myself and just use  plate. I learnt that this could be just as good after watching someone create a brilliant prosthetic that way.  In the video here you can see that she has moulded the clay in to the desired shape and preps it for the covering of the liquid latex. I then proceeded to doing the same.   I was using coloured, oil based clay for mine. I was then required to sprinkle flour over mine to thicken the layer of the latex. I would repeat that until I was happy with the thickness. In the same tutorial, she moulded teeth for her zombie and I thought it would've been cool to do the same. For this, I had to bite d

News Unit: Shoot Day for promo and presenter

First shoot day What did this day consist of? Today we had to shoot the presenter parts and footage for our promo video. Rosie is our presenter and she was required to talk towards the camera but in a conversational, informal way.  She sat down and familiarised herself with the lines whilst we set up the kit. Our plans for the promo video consisted of getting shots of each member of the team, being fun, stylish and we also wanted to have close ups of make up to go along with the fashion trends that our channel is about. Here is an image of our set up whilst we filmed for the promo vid How was the set up? For our shooting we used a PMW, 4 LED lights, and a tripod. We just used the directional mic that came with the PMW for sound as it would be good enough.  So as we set up the kit  we realised that we were not given stands for the lighting and so we had to improvise. We used the chairs that were in the room, stacked them up and imitated the effect of lighting stands.
