Foxy Shoot

We shot the VT for The Fox on monday, and it went quite well. The pub was full of characters which should be a good thing for if they come down to support their team on shoot day!

Will did a good job as director/producer in that he kept the team members briefed and informed of what he wanted them to do, and also that he explained that any retakes we had to do where because of something we werent happy with (light/sound/tightness of shot) and that it wasnt that they hadnt said their piece right. He also helped me as camera man as he had a detailed shot list and knew what he wanted me to film, which should also help for the next shoot at the DOg and Gun, as i will be better prepared for what i need to shoot.

The News

Went to watch the south eastern news being broadcast yesterday. Although the news wasn't overly interesting, the experience was! It was really good getting to see the gallery in action, and how calm everybody stayed even though there was a couple of little mistakes made.

I doubt the atmosphere in our gallery will be anywhere near similar to theirs!

Vt shoots

We had a productive day today (go team!) we tested twister and decided how we want that which is good, and we then told the caft people what we want from then. We also arranged a vt shoot for Monday at the fox which is nice especially as we are hoping to be able to shoot the other vt on either tuesday or Wednesday. Must remember to make sure everything is set to SD!!!

Trip to tonbridge wells tomorow to watch a live recording which will be informative

As live

We've now pretty much got everybody sorted for our team members and hosts, with the exception of the barmaid/co host. Two teams, one from the Dog and Gun pub, and the other from The Fox.

We are scripting up VT scripts, and planning the filming of them, as well as talking about getting our presenter down to meet with potential barmaids to see if they have good chemistry and have an audition together.

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.
