Content research

Coming up with our initial idea was hard because the style we wanted to shoot ours news package in was not appropriate for most of the news subjects that are usually reported on. Because we wanted to interpret comedy into our project we had to be careful in what we selected which left us with a very limited amount of Stories that we can do. We sat as a group and looked at what is reported and what we could do with those subjects however most of them were out of the question. to do that we were all on different platforms where news is reported for example apple news, the guardian, and even news on Instagram after searching for a while if found an article about a new tipping law that is coming into play in the coming months which was good however the thing that made this idea even more solid was the recently released pictures of receipts from the salt be a restraint where everything was overpriced, as I looked into it I have found out he has recently lost a lawsuit because he was not giving the workers the tips they have earned. 

For our live ob, we have decided to go with the fuel crisis as it was such a big problem at the moment. the story also had a lot of potential as we thought we could use Vox pop during it to capture everyones opinions and compare them all. 


"The $230,000 settlement is said to cover expenses from the point when the four employees were terminated up until the agreement was finalised.

It is not the first time Gökçe has had trouble with his employees either, as he has also been accused of threatening a former staff member and not paying overtime."

"Customers reasonably believed 100 percent of the gratuity was being remitted to the waiters and other serving staff," one of the sacked staff members said at the time.

"The tips legally belong to front-of-house workers - but Gökçe allegedly fired the men after they began digging into the missing funds."


"New immigration measures will allow 300 fuel drivers to arrive immediately and stay until the end of March, while 100 army drivers will take to the roads from Monday, the government announced late on Friday."

Short film review "Identity" by K.J. Adames

Image
 In this review I will be going over K.J. Adames short film "Identity" which Is about about living in a society where everyone hides their true identity using masks. in the first scene of the film we are introduced to the main character which is the girl. we see her looking back at herself in the mirror and looking happy and proud. however that goes away quickly as everything starts going back in reverse and we see her emotions fade. this was a way to intrigues the audience on what's to come later. this was very interesting because for me as a viewer as it puts me in a weird uncomfortable feeling which intrigues me on what's to come. as the reverse finishes at 1:10 we now see the same girl in her school canteen but now she is wearing a mask and so is everyone else around her. As we cut to her we can see that she is very uncomfortable and unsociable as she chooses to sit on her own. from that scene we can also see that she is very different from everyone else as she is...

Mood boards  When studying William Wordsworth's composition on Westminster Bridge, I decided to concentrate on two lines of the people, one of which is "The beauty of the morning; silent, bare." For this part, I've decided to take it literally and capture the sunrise of a beautiful morning, but I'm still undecided about the location I'd like to use for my shoot; however, the images above are what I was thinking of going for. I had the idea of the sun and the moon meeting in some way to tie the two very different ideas together. One way the two could be linked is through a flickering light, the idea of a lightbulb flickering and exploding or shutting off, and the entire mood of the adaptation changing and turning into a type of horror. The second line that I wanted to highlight was "The very houses seem asleep," since it reminded me of abandoned houses, which have a horror connotation. The images above are some of the shoot concepts I was considering ...

Final evaluation directions

 The directions unit I thought was very interesting. there has been a lot of things that I have learnt and tons of skills I have improved on. I have learnt how to storyboard, work with different lighting, I found out different things a director has to focus on that I had no clue previously. I enjoyed doing the storyboard as it was a way of getting my ideas on paper. another part I thought was really helpful was the workshops as they're not just for the directions unit, the skills I have learned for example the lighting can be incorporated into almost any other unit and it is just a big part of the film in general.    one downside of the unit was the fact that we were in lockdown so it was quite hard to focus and just get things done during the period, this also got us away from the filming part which would have been very interesting just to see the outcome and the difference between the scene you chose and the final outcome.
