Group blue film Jack New.

31st October- 1st September 2014

On the 31st of October our group was filming a short intro VT for our performer, Jack New. This took place in one of the rooms above the Student Union. After getting to the union and setting up there was an issue with the mix-pre, one of the wires was causing a constant crackling sound and after our last shoot and the nature of this shoot (a music performance) the sound was our number one priority.

This was resolved by my decision of getting rid of the mix pre and plugging a tie-mic and the boom mic straight in to the camera. Although not ideal, it did work as we only needed two channels and was far better than having distorted sound.

After sincerely apologising to the performer for the delay we began the shoot. The style was relatively dark due to the style of the performer so I wanted the edit to reflect the same theme but at the same time keeping within the guidelines for live, daytime, family TV. We used a basic 3-point lighting technique to light the performer. The VT was filmed over a 40 minute period and included wide angle shots of the performer, close up of the performers expressions whilst playing the music (which was done to portray his passions for music), extreme close ups of the performers hands whilst playing the guitar and a talking head style interview, which will be used in the edit as a voice over to showcase his musical achievements and act as a teaser for the main interview which will take place live, in the studio, on the day of our show.

The edit then started the next day, October 1st. After stating what I wanted from the VT and supervising the blocking of the edit, I left the editors to get on with the online versions of both Mind and Jack New. A few hours later I came to check on the VT’s to make sure they conformed to my visual ideas.

Mind: Complete. After not having enough cutaways for the mind VT, I took some screen grabs of their website using events spoken about and donation pages for the charity. This turned out to be a life-saver and made the VT broadcast standard. Mind was ready to export and add to the tri-caster.

Jack New: Still not finished but not far off, the VT stuck to the style and was in my opinion, very good. From a directors view I was happy with this VT but I had concerns it wouldn’t be appropriate for the show, alongside the performer, so it was exported as an offline copy and awaited feedback from the channels managers before the online process began.
