For our first day of filming on Friday 30th March we had a slot booked from 9am till the afternoon where we would be filming all of the green screen sections, which was the main bulk of our show. We had put together a planned structure which helped the shooting day run smoothly with presenters, models and everyone there. I was rather nervous to get in front of the camera and deliver the scripts I had learnt but was exciting at the same time. I felt I dealt with it professionally and had alot of fun being on the other side of the camera for a change. Bradley did a fantastic job as presenter also where he learnt all of the script fast and well.
The fashion section- The two models both had an evening and day outfit where we set it so they walked on from the side, turned and walked forwards, we made them walk down the green screen strip so that when editing we could make them look as if they were walking down a catwalk. We made sure we did the walking a couple of times of each model and the presenters so we had choice when in the editing suite. We had a few problems with the green screen strip for each of us to walk on as it was very slippy and had to do a few takes. Appart from that everything went very smoothly.
Our next section to film was the entertainment section which also went really well! Again we split the script into two so it was equal between myself and Bradley. I focused on the film section where I introduced new film releases and Bradley focused on presenting the music and festival line-ups. Because we were so tight with time and the entertainment clip was only 1minute long we had to cut out sections from the film part as it had to many new releases. We ended up cutting Titanic and The Lucky One. If we had kept these in I think it would of gone off track and over time. I suggested keeping Beauty and the Beast 3D re-release in to give it some variety.
Personally I found the entertainment section the hardest to learn and deliver out of them all.
After the entertainment and fashion we swiftly moved onto the news headlines. This for me was the easiest section and we did it in around 2/3 takes. For this section we all agreed that the news was to be delivered in a virtual news room. This meant I had to be sitting down as if on a desk. We set up a table and chair and covered it with a green sheet so it would work in post production process. This would help me alot when editing and putting me in a studio. With Neill the technicans help we adjusted the lighting on all shoots so my face was shinny and lights were focused on me.
All of the filming went very smoothly and well. By the end of the shooting we had about 4 different takes of each scene for us to have more vareity when choosing which bits to keep and cut. We were all very happy as a group with the material we produced, we watched them back and agreed on the best clips. We have three sections left to film:- the cooking, weather and the Summer Shape up with Mr.Fit...We are going to film the Mr.Fit on location, not confirmed yet. The cooking and weather we are going to get from youtube and cut down if needed. We have decided to do this to show a vareity of editing techniques for the final product.
