STUDIO PRODUCTION • Opening Titles Research

-


When it came to looking into opening titles for the show, Ellen and I had to make sure that whatever we chose was something that could be put at the beginning of every episode if the show were to carry on as a real TV series.

We first looked the opening titles for Ant and Dec Saturday Night Takeaway; we liked the way that the two characters went on a journey through the titles and made it to the tv studio where the show was being filmed. We liked this idea and wanted to use it for our show but we weren't sure how to incorporate it into an idea that would fit with the theme of our show. 


I liked the smooth transitions between the different locations they used and they used the presenters actions more move between locations. For example, we see them walking down some stairs which cuts to a close up of their feet and the when we go back to a wide shot they are in a different location but it is done seamlessly which makes it look really professional. 

They also include the title graphics with the name of the show at the end of the opening sequence which would then go to the opening shot of the show. I also want to include our title graphics at the end of ours so that people know what show they are watching but also to make the change from the opening titles to the show much nicer visually. 


We started to struggle for ideas so Ellen and I went to speak to the producer to see if he had any ideas for what he wanted for the opening titles. We then came up with the idea that we went with of different movie characters running a race to win the title of "Ultimate Movie Fan"

Writing a Script

-

*A screenplay only tells us what we can see and hear*  Important things to consider are  Title page - which should contain the name of the story, the writers name, draft date and contact details which are important if you are handing out your script to people. Scene headings - the scene heading should state whether it is to take place inside or outside using INT. or EXT. It should also contain the location, e.g. BEDROOM, HOUSE and time of day - DAY/NIGHT Action -  The action under the scene heading should contain enough detail so that the reader can picture the location or action but concise enough that it is just a long paragraph of description, it should also be written in the present tense.  Characters - when introducing a new character, their name should be written in capital letters so that the reader knows they are a new characters. If the character is not in the scene but can be heart or are a voice over, then (V/O) or (O/S) should be...

PRE-PRODUCTION • Director of Photography | Research

I chose to be the director of photography (DOP) because I feel the over the course of the last two years my camera and lighting skills have increased greatly and I wanted to focus of those skills more in my final year. To fully immerse myself into being a DOP, it is important that I researched deeply into the role and what it would include. Being a Director of photography "includes creating the visual identity, or look of the film/ tv programme, they work with the Director, camera crew and lighting department to achieve this and they manage all aspects of filming, from ordering and overseeing equipment to reviewing footage." (Creative Skillset, 2017) My main tasks will include creating the overall look of Young & Famous and putting into play the vision of the director. I will be focussing the camera and lighting aspects of the role and make the technical decisions as well as some creative ones. Framing: for this, I will work closely with the dir...

Scott and Bailey - TV Drama

-

Scott and Bailey is a British crime drama focusing on the lives of two female detectives. DC Rachel Bailey and DC Janet Scott are not only work colleagues but close friends, a main part of the story is their relationship and the problems they have.  In each episode, there are 3 to 4 different story lines, the main one being based in the police station, centred on a crime and the others about the personal lives of the main characters. For my script, I would like to do something similar, I want to have the main story line revolve around a major case they have given, and then the personal lives of my two main characters, Shane and Annie.  The characters have many flaws that are pointed out in multiple episodes. For my character Shane, I want his flaws to be quite relatable. Through his dialogue and mannerisms, I want to reveal to the audience that he is wary of new people and finds it hard to trust them and that he is also emotionally immature and afraid of com...
