P6- Show reel for unit 24
A collection of my favourite projects I've created through my two years at Long Road.
The idea behind our music video is based around a bad relationship and an argument which breaks out but by the end of the video, the two lovers come together after a split screen.
The idea was majority generated by myself as I naturally took on the director and producer role and pulled together everybody's concepts into an organised and realistic structure which could be shot in the local area and within the week deadline.
We were all familiar with the equipment used as we used most of it in the previous film project, we used a Canon 100 D with a wide lens to capture a range of shots, as well as a handheld tripod and a tall free-standing tripod.
Additionally, as I was the only girl within the group, I took on the role of the actor in the film along with Jonathan who is the male figure in the film also, being a main character in the film meant that i could act out and bring to life the ideas I had to produce the film.
Doing this project was partially enjoyable as i had a chance to act, direct and learn how to perfectly time lip syncing to a music video.
The second film project within the showreel, is the film which was produced in my first year at college which was the first time I wrote a script and used software such as premier pro. This was such an exciting task as we used my script for the project which meant i took on the role of being a producer, director and then joint editing with Megan. Although the project took a while to film and get to a quality we were happy with, I am very pleased at how well we conducted the process and how well the script was brought to life. I was lucky enough to be joint editing with Megan who is fabulous with premier pro and taught me a bunch of new skills and I have been able to transfer in future tasks, especially the part of the film where Megan becomes distorted through the eyes of Harvey as he has been sedated. Initially, writing the script was intimidating at first, but once I overcame understanding the general style of screenwriting, I throughly enjoyed it! The equipment used to shoot this film was similar to the previous listed, we used a Canon 600 D with a close lens for some shots, as well as a free-standing tripod and some lightings for the inside shots.The 7 minute film is definitely one of my proudest projects.
Lastly, I co-hosted a breakfast radio show with Jonathan which gave me the experience to get confident with reading from a script and improv where needed whilst keeping with a running schedule. I largely scripted the show and managed the running schedule with the agreement from Jonathan. The breakfast show ran for only 5 minutes and contained an interview, two call ins, 3 songs and two news bulletins both general news and sports related. We used a zoom H1 recording device to do the presenting with and nothing else. I edited the radio show on audition which was a new program for me to use but I quickly picked up the ins and outs of the program. Asides from the practical radio show, we did a sum amount of written work about the radio industry which widened my knowledge about the popular traits of radio and the how a show is conducted.
These 3 projects are the main tasks which boosted my confidence in producing a good quality medium and working closely with members in our groups and compromising ideas to make the task realistic and find a happy medium among the whole group. The films are a useful visual towards how I've learnt to edit on a range of software and put things together to make a good end product. The radio task has assisted me in my future study of the radio sector, as it has given me a head start in learning the base of the radio industry and has allowed me the chance to practice my presenting and editing skills.
