As live

Now that the bulk of the work for fiction is out of the way, we are making good headway with as live. Having phoned round pubs in maidstone we have got a list of times to go and meet people who might be interested/interesting, so this week our nights are filled with visiting pubs for quizes and meeting people, what a shame! We also went to a pub yesterday called The Fox, and spoke to the landlady who said that there are people in the pool teams that would make good characters, and that the A and B teams are playing each other on monday, so we are going to go down and meet them then.

On the presenter front, Will has put a casting call on Mandy and already recieved a couple of emails from people who are interested. Also, Dylan, Will and I were thinking of approaching Vic and Bob's team on the off chance that they either may be willing to help us, or know of someone who might.

Beer Pong

Yesterday we tried, tested and filmed beer pong for the as live unit, here is the footage that shows how much fun we found it, and how good we were!

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.
