Pre-Production: The Finished Product!

After all documents were completed, we put them all into InDesign and created a book.  Nisserin was in charge of creating the design and layout of the book and made sure to keep to the Young & Famous branding throughout. 

 Myself and Becca were in charge of editing the book's content to ensure that everything was as it should be and the content of the work was up to the standard needed to help the readers understand as much about our idea and how we will work to make the show happen as possible. All three of us proof read the book before sending it to the printers on the 21st November, however as this was a quick turn a round to what we were expecting we didn't have time to get a fresh  pair of eyes to read it before we had to send it.  After sending it for printing and showing other people such as family and friends, they noticed a few minor spelling mistakes within a few documents that we hadn't noticed when reading through ourselves.  However saying this I have found an article from the BBC that gives reasons as to why typos and spelling mistakes don't really matter! Here is the link below!

Although this article says how spelling mistakes aren't the be all and end all, I am still disappointed that we missed them before sending the book for printing.  However I am proud of the work we have produced as a team and do not think that the spelling mistakes (minor as they are) take anything away from the concept of Young & Famous and exactly how we are going to conduct the shoot and edit of this show.  All three of us are extremely pleased with the end result and know that we have put our absolute best into every aspect of the Pre-Production Book to make it as professional and interesting as we can. 

 We chose to go with Colour Digital Print Services to print our book and they are based in Devon.  They worked well with us to make sure our book was printed and delivered to us in time, liaising with us to help make the book better in terms of layout for the beginning pages and even sent us more copies than what we paid for! As Producer I was in charge of liaising with the printing company and this was all done through our production company email, helping us to look more professional to the company. 

 Below are some pictures of our Young & Famous Pre-Production Book! 
 



Overall we are really pleased with how the book has turned out and we have impressed ourselves with how much we have managed to complete within the deadline.  We feel fully prepared to film Young & Famous in February and believe that we will do a good job due to our planning and love for the project.

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...
