I did my shoot for wbl this morning and i think (hope) it went really well, Giles already had experience in front of a camera, having done things for the news before, and therefore had a good idea of what i needed from him in terms of positioning and where to look - ie, not at the camera.
i feel i got some good cutaways and did a couple of takes of each bit of him talking at different shot sizes so as to ensure i had enough material for the edit.
I had thought it might be a bit awkward directing someone that much older than me, but he was very easy to talk to and keen to make it as good as possible.
I'm looking forward to how it all comes out!

WBL Progress
I have filmed the exterior shots of the museum, in order to set up for the main part of the film, which i will be shooting over the next couple of days.
As well as filming parts of the museum, i will be partially trying to raise money for the museum by using a slogan "I Love Mummy", in relation to the Mummy that the museum is home to.

I met with the man who will be doing the voice over and presenting for my video about the museum. He is not what you would expect from someone who works in a museum, which is exactly why i chose him.
He has a shaven head, lots of piercings and is covered in tattoos. He also has the ability to make everything realy interesting, through his knowledge of all the items, and also the story behind them he realy manages to bring everything to life.
I hope to translate this into the film, and really inspire a sense of intrigue into the audience so that people will be more inclined to visit the museum.

Major Project - Idea Development
I have written my 15 reviews, and will upload them onto her when i have typed them up.
Also, after speaking to Helen, i have dropped the gadgets aspect of my review show, leaving just music, games and films, as these are more uniform as a group, and leave me with more room for a title for the show, which at the moment is "Total Entertainment".

Major Project - Idea Development
I have mocked up on paint (i cant use photoshop) what i imagine my show to be set out like.
I imagine the total film logo to be rotating so that it scrolls between the names of the different magazines.

Major Project - Research
After countless searches for review videos, i have finally found a website that does reviews in short video form.
http://www.pluggedin.com/videos.aspx
The reviews they do are set out in the form that i was thinking of for minem with the presenter to the side, with a backdrop and footage of the item being reviewed in the corner.

WBL Research
Maidstone Museum was established in 1858 and now houses over 660,000 artefacts and specimens. They are outstanding in their diversity and quality and some are of national and even international importance. The work of collectors, staff and benefactors over 145 years has created an overwhelmingly rich and diverse collection of far greater than regional significance.
Chillington Manor
The Museum’s central core consists of Chillington Manor, an Elizabethan manor house built in 1562. The Great Hall and the Withdrawing Room date from that period but the Cloisters and Long Gallery (restored around 1870) are survivals from an earlier Tudor building. Between 1698 and 1743 a substantial wing was added to the rear of the Elizabethan building. This was the building which was bequeathed to the town by Thomas Charles, a surgeon and antiquarian, in 1855. Three years later Maidstone Museum and Library was opened, its first curator being Charles' close friend, Edward Pretty. More galleries were soon added to house the growing collections.
East Wing
On the eastern side a new wing was added in 1869 and extended in 1889 to accommodate the Bentlif Art Gallery. This was funded by Samuel Bentlif in honour of his brother George (he also donated over 200 hundred paintings), and was enlarged again in 1924.
West Wing
On the western side a new wing, made possible by donations from Julius Brenchley, was built 1873. The Victoria Gallery, housing the town’s library, was built between 1897 and 1899 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. In 1977 a fire damaged much of the upper floors in the West Wing and 18th century extension.
