Brief Summary
The news package took a lot longer than the live to set up, organise and film as there was a lot more to consider in the ways of shots and sequences. We managed to film on every floor of the gallery including Hannah's studio and outside. Despite the larger obstacles, I felt a lot more prepared for this shoot and though it took a lot longer than the live, it definitely felt a lot easier to direct and organise each take thanks to the pre production beforehand.
My Role
Again, I took up the role as the director, alongside Josh. A shot list and a detailed script had been compiled so I knew what I was doing for the most part of the shoot. Some of the decisions made were last minute, such as where we would film the interview and how we would sequence all the scripted shots together but we couldn't help that for the most part. I liked how the sequencing came out in the end, it felt very fluid, on the day I could visualise how everything would fit together. However if I could do it again, I'd probably change some of the ideas and maybe some of the scripting, actually hearing what is on the script from somebody else felt very different to what had gone through my head, some elements sounded like it was from a live piece.
The Idea Summarised
The opening to the package was to have James, the presenter, walk through the high street towards the camera and the gallery introducing the area before going on to the gallery. James would then walk in and a voice over would play over some GV's and sequence shots. We would then see both James and gallery owner Hannah sitting opposite each other discussing the history of the gallery and how she took over. Throughout the interview a number of GV's would play over sections of the interview, matching what they say to the picture you see on the screen. There would also be different angles and noddies so the package doesn't drone on too much and feels more active.
