Filming Wildlife • Production

-

  • Finding the wildlife was quite a challenge as the wildlife on the farm was in the middle of the woods making it difficult to see the birds in the trees. 
  • We had to stand around and wait for quite a while to try and find them and we had to keep very quiet. 
  • When we did find some wildlife it was quite difficult to keep the camera on the bird because it was so zoomed in it was difficult to keep them in shot.

PRE-PRODUCTION • Testing a Scene | Development

-

I was able to plan a test shoot of a specific scene from our most recent script, this was useful in many different ways, including planning the best position for cameras, looking at whether they would logistically fit 3 cameras in one room, how the lighting would work and the flow of the scene.  The first this I did on this day was set up the cameras in the dining room which is where the scene I had chosen takes place. I chose this specific scene because I felt this was one of the more tricky ones in the room was much smaller than some of the ones we had previously completed test shoots in as also because there is lots of movement in this scene and a need for artificial lighting as well.  I matched up the cameras with the same settings, these included the white balance, making sure they were set to the same Kelvin and the record settings - for this test I tried filming in Ultra HD at 25fps to compare to my previous test which was done in Full HD. This proc...

PRE-PRODUCTION • 2nd Episode Synopsis | Development

-
As we decided that Young & Famous would be a 6-part series, we chose to write treatments for the other 5 episodes of the show. We initially decided on the storylines for the other episodes and the split up the task of writing them. I wrote the synopsis for episode 2, which we decided would have main character Annie trying to break a Guinness World Record in order to impress her family and Dean trying to find Betty's missing cat Arnold which results in an award that he's not expecting.  Young & Famous - Episode 2 Synopsis  Despite Annie and Dean’s failed first attempt to become young and famous, they don’t give up hope. After seeing reality TV star Kacey Kingsley wearing a designer knitted scarf, Annie decides to knit the world’s longest scarf and get into the Guinness World Records, adamant that this is the best way to gain her attention of her children and grandchildren. Meanwhile, Dean’s relaxing morning is interrupted when Betty comes barging in to ann...

Editing With Tim Bentham • Workshops

On Wednesday, we had an editing workshop with Tim Bentham.  He is an editor who has worked on many programmes for all the UK's major channels and some internationally.  Sync Assembly: We first had to make a sync assembly where we cut together the different interview clips that we were going to use. In the interview, there were lots of parts that weren't needed so we had to cut down the interviews, joining together different sections so that it made sense. These sections were highlight for us on the transcript of the interview.  Transcripts: Having the time coded transcript was really helpful because it made it really easy to see exactly what was said in the interview, making the editing process simple in terms of picking out the information we wanted from the transcript. The time codes helped when looking for the specific parts as it was easy to search for the different sections in premiere.  Cutaways and Jump Cuts: After cutting the interv...
