Production Meeting Reflection 4

In this week, me and Jasmeet started on the Master Script together. There was a slight problem when getting the presenters script as we needed it sent to us but the person who had it, wasn't in and we couldn't get into contact with them as they weren't responding. Halfway into the lesson they sent us an email of the presenters script and me and Jasmeet went straight into the work. We were told that we only had until the start of Wednesday's lesson to get a majority of it done which meant that someone had do to it at home as we don't have a lesson on the Tuesday. Jasmeet was willing to do the Master Script because shes the director and she knows what she wants so she filled in some of the columns. In Wednesday's lesson, me and Jasmeet both worked on my column which was putting down the camera number of what we wanted to show on camera at that specific time. We finished that and the other peers with other jobs e.g. lighting, they filled in their own info into the columns. In the next two lessons, I wasn't in because I was on exam leave. 
The successful thing was getting most of the Master Script and completing my section of the column.
We don't need to change anything or develop anything at this moment of time, but if we find out what we do need to change/develop anything then we will.
Next week, I intend to working on the vision mixer and getting a feel of what it's like as the Live Day is on the Thursday. We have an all-day practice on the Tuesday where we will treat it likes it's the real thing to make sure we all feel confident on what we're doing.
Working with the director is an advantage because Jasmeet likes to get her work done which gives other peers the attitude of getting their work done which is good so we're on top of our work.

Production Meeting Reflection 3

In this week, I had been given the task of testing out transitions on the computer. I had done this on Final Cut Express because the vision mixer wasn't working. I tried out five transitions that would look good for the show, these were: 
  • fade in
  • horizontal wipe top to bottom 
  • vertical wipe middle to left 
  • right vertical wipe left to right
  • horizontal wipe middle to top and bottom

I made sure I used all the transitions that would be on the vision mixer too. I each discussed on the transitions where I would use them in the show and why I would want to use them. 
This task was successful as I managed to finish the transitions in the first lesson which left me to do the analysis for the next 3 lessons; however, I managed to finish this in the second lesson. Throughout the rest of the week, I planned what camera numbers I was going to use to type up into the Master Script which I am starting next week.
I didn't need to change or develop anything as I was just experimenting with the transitions and working out where I wanted things to go.
Next week, I intend on working on the Master Script with the director, Jasmeet, and working out what camera changes I need to do.

I hadn't worked with any of my hierarchical peers as what I was doing, was an individual task. The other peers had their individual work to do so everyone was stuck down into their own work, not bothering anyone else.

Testing Transitions



1. Fade in

The fading transition is a common effect used and is usually shown when welcoming a show as it's first transition. It's also used to show the next shot depending if they want to show a shot that's completely different to what has been shown, e.g. a new location. I would use from when we have the logo shot, to the fade in transition of entering the presenters on the show when they're already sitting down in their seats and welcoming the show. This will enable the show to flow nicely.

2. Horizontal wipe, top to bottom

The horizontal wipe top to bottom is a transition that would be used to enter a totally different new shot. I would use this when the two presenters are walking down the corridor presenting the show, and then use this effect to cut to the intro of the logo.

3. Vertical wipe, middle to left and right

This particular shot would be used to show a new theme to the show. I would put this in where we show the logo and have this effect of entering the interaction section of "Street Beat". This would look appealing to this part as the effect looks like curtains pulling apart for a new scene to happen.

4. Vertical wipe, left to right

I would use this shot to enter the 'news' section, because it will cutaway from the basic interview talk about the music video and will enter the more gossip and juicy information of singers e.g. the Jay Z and Solange elevator incident.

5. Horizontal wipe, middle to top and bottom

This scene would be particular good to enter a completely new shot of a new theme. I would use this in the opening sequence when Farhana has made her video montage. This will show a clear insight into what the show will have presented through the transition of the effect added - making it stream nicely.
