Monday 4th March
Today is when we started getting more practical with our show as we begun the filming of the VT, The Reel List. In which we countdown our favourite movies and TV shows. In each rating we explain we why the show is ranked at that spot and give some background on the products, such as the directors and actors in the show.
We started off by going to the studio with the other members for that specific VT. We set up the cameras and lighting and got our main presenter to stand in front of the green screen and list the movies. This was our original idea, to get a presenter listing the movies/shows and to insert clips while they were speaking, however, we experienced our first fault of this production during the making of this VT.
Although everything had seemed to have gone, we realised that after 3 hours of filming this, our microphone had stopped recording the audio due its storage being full. This was incredibly frustrating as it was something we thought was going well and smoothly, in addition to it taking a while to get all of the scenes of the VT to a high standard.
However, we have decided not to overly panic about this situation as a crew member of this VT has decided just to rerecord the audio, which will not take up too much time, and just edit it over clips and scenes of the movies and shows chosen, without having a presenter, which is unfortunate as this would have looked more unique and professional, however we have little time to get everything else done for the show, meaning that we have to use our time wisely. A positive from this however, is that I updated our Instagram, to show the audience what we were getting up to in the studio.
