Fiction Trailer

This is the trailer i made for my fiction adaptation unit, i decided to keep Danny Trejo's character of the drug baron without the name as i feel it makes the character seem more sinister.

As live research trip

On Tuesday, i took a trip to the Riverside Studios in London to watch the recording of Russel Howards Good News, besides it being hilarious it was a good insight into the filming of a tv programme. There were 5 cameras for just one man which seemed like a lot, but i suppose is normal. It was interesting to watch the screens hanging from the ceiling as they were showing which shots the vision mixer was putting up. Also there was a minor technical fault when one of the VT's didn't play properly.

At the end of the show Russel had to do pick ups of what he had either done wrong or that needed to be amended, which he seemed fairly annoyed with because there was a lot of them, one of which had been dropped from the show in the first place.

Gallery Day

We spent a day in the studio with Hans today, which was a great help! Cat and I got to sit in the gallery and practise our jobs which gave me a chance to come to terms with the vision mixing equipment, and the opportunity to experiment with all the different fades and effects. I really enjoyed it and it is something i would quite like to do some more of. The experience alleviated most of my fears of pressing the wrong button, but it will be good to get some practise in with 6 cameras as opposed to just the two we had today.
