And the Idea changes again........

SOOOOO yesterday me and my team of Fred and Matty and Abid decided that we are going to throw the idea of Emily Rawlins out the window.
So we decided that we needed to come up with another idea and fairly fast, so after much discussion we came up with the idea of Finding out who this Principal really is?, so we had a discussion with Dave and Raised the question with him, who is the Principle of this college, He had met him a few times and it seemed like a good topic to do, so after we decided to do some research into who he was and where he would be if we needed him. After looking Peter Taverner up he seemed to be a boring normal Headteacher and our idea deflated as fast as it inflated and we was back to the drawing board again. So after mind mapping a few ideas with Dave we came up with an idea that will incorporate the students that was coming in for Peter's Lesson on Tuesday's to be filmed for a live Music Shoot. So we decide that we would interview the students and ask them what they felt would happen from meeting us and what they thought of how it was going to be like working with us.
 So this is going to be considerable easier than our last two ideas as all the resources such as guests and actors for the VT are on our doorstep, so we will be able to get out guests for the news package and also be able to interview musician's as they come in to practise for the January Assignment. The project should be seemingly fool proof as there will be lots of acts and someone is bound to want to be on camera talking about there creativework and how they felt showing it us.

Interview Techniques

We finally came up with the idea that we was gonna film josh on his obsession with Apple and this is what we came up with, some good editing from me and this is the end product.

Interviewing Techniques

Today we have to come up with an idea to be able to improve our interviewing techniques, we have to film an interview and look at using different "rules of thumb" to be able to achieve this,

  • We are going to use the five shot rule, where for every scene we are going to shoot the scene with five different shots, this way we have covered our back when we come to editing the interview.
  • We are going to get a few cut aways of various things that we need that relates to the subject of our interview.
  • We are going to come up with a small script so that we cover all areas of the production.

Charlie Brooker:How to report the news

A Charlie Brooker show that shows how to make a news package.

Filming Techniques

Im going to look at what techniques i am going to use to film this news package, i want to have the news package look a bit more informal because of how its about a paralympic hopeful, and she is a student, i want to do it in the style of shows like the one show or the wright stuff, so im gonna look at some examples on youtube then post them on my blog.





After looking ive decided i want to an studio based show like The One Show or Daybreak, that will involve a studio interview with cut aways of Emily Rawlins performing at sports city and a studio interview with her in college

The Olympics In Manchester College


The Olympics In Manchester College

For our news report we will need to find out about "into work" project that Emily is a part of, this project is based on helping herself and others find work after leaving the college. We hopefully will be setting up an interview with Emily to hear her thoughts on the olympics, her preparation for the games and about her recent success also about transport to certain area's and why the financial support is needed and where has it came from in the past. The questions we will hopefully be asking would be:


1. What are you looking forward to most in the Paralympics this year?
2. Is it more beneficial that that it is in England for transport?
3. Is it tough work still attending college also training for the Paralympics?
4. How does it make you feel that you are representing your country, city and college and does that add to pressure?
