DIGITAL NEWS • Development

-
As a group, we have had lots of meeting to discuss our production and have often given each other tasks to go home and complete. In our first development meeting we went through all the things that had been completed and what still needed to be done. 


  • Ida had been in contact with one of our contributors Katie Joslin and told us that she'd agreed to speak to us for our interview.

  • Becca went through some sections of the script that she'd written already and everyone went through and we all added in little jokes that we wanted to include. 

  • George Wing had also agreed to be a co-presenter and we scheduled a meeting with both of then just so we could explain to them what our show is about and what sort of things we'd be expecting from them. 

  • Josh suggested that we plan a test shoot so that we could get a feel for what we wanted our show to look like and so that we could get used to using some of the new equipment. 

  • I'd had previously done some research into what makes a viral video and shared this with the group, from this we came up with the two ideas for our viral videos that we are going to make. From the research, we could see that people tend to watch videos including cats and fail videos. We decided that josh would make the cat video as he's the only one with a cat and us girls would create the other one. We decided that we'd try and annoy Josh for a whole week and film everything. After a meeting regarding the video, we decided to throw paper balls at him.

Discussing the structure of our production.

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 used.  Dialog

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 commitment b

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
