Digital News - Website Development and Branding Development

After our feedback from Helen, Ellie and myself worked on the website to make the changes she suggested. We got rid of the health patterned wallpaper and extended the branding logo across the page to fill it. We were previously advised to make our branding much more contemporary as it had a dated 80's LWT (London Weekend Television) atmosphere to it. Niki has worked very hard on the graphics to make them more contemporary and modern and I think they look a lot better and fit well with our Health Channel. 

 Here is what they look like on the website currently. 

A difference can instantly be felt as it looks a lot more updated and not quite so blocky either. It has a more relaxed feel to it and the colours look a lot more calming as opposed to intense by having both as a heart beat monitor. I really like these designs and think they really bring our channel to life much more than they did before. 

 I have created a Facebook and Twitter page and also a Youtube page which all links up to the buttons on the menu bar. These are yet to have the updated branding added to them and this will be done as soon as they have been finalised and are 100% ready for publication. 



Our Youtube page doesn't currently have any information on it as it is mainly video based. We will be 'broadcasting' our episode onto our youtube channel so that we can start a ball rolling and see if we can continue our news channel. 

 I also added the "Get Involved" page and created links through pictures to each organisations donation or funding page. I'm proud of how this has turned out and can't wait to see it with the new branding once it is finalised.

Studio Production: Scripting for As Live and VT Productions

Image
A script for an As Live and VT Production, the scripts are very different to that of a film. Below is a guide of how to create a script for an As Live Production.  Layout of an As Live Script There should be two columns: - Left= Shot numbers, camera numbers and shot description. - Right= script, stage instructions, Sound Effects and Graphics.  There are cut lines placed at the end of the word or action at which the cut is to take place.  This allows the vision mixer to the cut the show together with ease.  Adding shots to the script means you need to create a sub shot. For example, Shot 10 would become Shot 10a.  The Camera Operators need to know that you have made a change to the script so that they can add this onto their camera card and be completely aware of what they are doing.  These camera card are provided so that they are fully aware of what it is they need to do for their shots and when to do s...

Fiction Adaptation: "Being British" by Deanna Rodger

Image
I have chosen to adapt the poem " Being British " by Deanna Rodger.  From my understanding of the poem, it is about the challenges she has faced regarding interracial stereotyping and the struggle to be accepted as a British Citizen of natural birth.  Deanna is a spoken word poet and an international performer. She has had achievements such as being awarded " Elle's " UK " 30 inspirational women under 30 " as well as The Female Lead 's " 20intheir20s " and Cosmopolitan's  " No.1 trailblazing woman ".  She is also a well known poetry grand slam champion and does in fact host her own poetry competitions such as; Chill Pill  and Come Rhyme with me.  Deanna lends out her poetry for educational purposes and evidence of this is seen on her website: https://deannarodger.co.uk/deanna-biography/ I have chosen to adapt "Being British " because I think it will give me a challenge to create a realistic drama out of Dea...

Production: Producer's Role During Post-Production Research

As I am the Producer for Young & Famous and I am not editing the project, I understand that the Producer takes a step back from the post-production phase.  I have researched into what the Producer's role is throughout this stage as I was unsure if what I was doing was enough.  According to the Creative Skill set; a Producer's role throughout Post - Production is to keep in regular contact with the Director and editor, but to let them harness the footage and create the film.  As the Producer, this is their time to deal with all the finances of the film such as paying actors, marketing and liaising with the distribution companies to sell or exhibit the film and confirming edit or sound changes.  As we are not going to be distributing Young & Famous to big companies to sell, I focused on paying all of the actors their expenses and regularly coming into the edit suit for review meetings with Simon and Andrea.  I...
