DIGITAL NEWS • Set Design

-


Josh has been working on the set design for the studio section of our production. This will be the background that we replace the green screen with. He came up with some initial ideas after we had all agreed on colour schemes and some of things we wanted to include. We then had a group meeting where we looked at his designs and made some suggestions and things we wanted to change. 


First Design

  • As a group we decided to more the show title more to the left because we realised it would be covered up by the presenter as they are going to be in the middle of the screen. 
  • It was decided to more some of the props to the outer edges of the set so they surrounded the presenter, and weren't hidden in the middle leaving lots of empty space. 
  • We also wanted to have a clear image of out logo somewhere in the background because our aim has been for people to recognise our show and branding by just the logo. We decided this should go in the centre of the TV on the right had wall. 

Second Design

  • This was the next design Josh came back with after making the changes we suggested. We all prefers this design but again felt that there were a few more changes that could be made to get it just right. 
  • We wanted to add in a few more props which were keeping in theme with our episode such as a pineapple and few more little details like magazines and mugs on the coffee table. 
  • Josh also showed us an arrangement of different lighting effects that could be added and as a group, we decided to go with a blue lighting look and make the floor more reflective which brought everything to life. 
Third Design - Final

  • This is the final design which we all agreed on. We found that the extra details added made a huge difference to the over all look of the image and we much preferred this. 
  • Josh also made an example of what it would look like in the real thing by editing the presenter onto the image. This gave us a really good idea of how it would look once everything had come together.

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

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 commitment b
