DIGITAL NEWS • Filming // Green Screen

-



On the day of filming our main green screen section, we started by collected our equipment and splitting up the jobs so that we could get everything set up quickly because were also filming our live on the same day so we didn't have time to waste.

  • Ida and set up the green screen while Becca and Josh set up the lights. When that was done, I set up the camera and we all helped to get the auto cue working while Ida was making sure the clip mic was working properly and we had good sound.


  • To make things easier for our presenter, we split our script up into sections where we had planned that the shot would cut so that the presenter only had to say short sections rather than go through the entire thing because it was quite long. 


  • We had lots of different props in our green screen so we had to make sure that all these were filmed right and consider side of the screen Josh picked up the props for continuity. 

  • We had scripted two shots where the the camera is reversed and films the crew so we made sure to efficiently film all our greens screen shots making sure we had everything before we turned the camera round because we had to move all the lights as well and we didn't want to move them during the green screen section and forget their position so that the shits looked different. 


Overall, filming went really well for this section. We filmed everything on our shot list and and didn't have any reason to re-film anything.

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

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 commitment b
