BCST 1120: Studio 1 Live Practice

2010-11-21T21:40:00.000-08:00

I learned that when being in CCU during Studio 1 Live Practice, you got to be fast so that the camera operators can get themselves into position and the director could then position the cameras to their liking. During the Studio Rehearsal, I was Floor Director Assistant and Floor Director. When I was being the Assistant, I got my job done really quickly so with the permission of the Floor Director, I helped out the Audio Assist (A2) set up all the microphones and intercoms. As Floor Director, I learned quickly being in this role means that you are the one bridge keeping the flow going, so communication is key. Three things I learned in total: Organization, Communication and Efficiency.

At BCIT, we have a course called, Writing for Television! When writing a script for a commercial, we got to know what is set for the criteria of acceptable advertising. They span the following areas:

   1. Accuracy and Clarity
   2. Disguised Advertising Techniques
   3. Price Claims
   4. Bait and Switch
   5. Guarantees
   6. Comparative Advertising
   7. Testimonials
   8. Professional or Scientific Claims
   9. Imitation
10. Safety
11. Superstition and Fears
12. Advertising to Children
13. Advertising to Minors
14. Unacceptable Depictions and Portrayals

One of the things that surprised me when learning from this course is that in Canadian Beer Commercials, you don't see anyone drinking the product at all! They reason why is because they don't want to promote drinking beer. Here is an example:

Diane Brown - One Pot Website: How to make an Omelette

2010-11-18T19:50:00.000-08:00

Filmed from my Sequencing Assignment at BCIT, this assignment is for me to practice making good composition, exposure, color balance, and audio capture on a professional ENG camera and to break down a situation into a series of shots that displays an activity (a sequence).

I took the camera footage and put individual shots together to show a logical sequence of shots displaying the activity, which will be used in combination with the footage of the subject being interviewed to illustrate the activity.

The recipes in this blog are either from the One Pot Cookbook or fit into that format (cheap, easy to prepare,accessible ingredients, yield 1 portion and can be made with 1 pot and a hotplate). They are easy and tasty recipes for anyone to make. For more information, go to www.OnePot.ca

I learned that having a lot of shots taken over and over are great for the long run in post-production. Also, I learned not to be afraid to ask the demonstrator to redo some actions again and again to get that perfect shot. The more footage, the better.

Synopsis
Tina is a traumatized teenager who only brother Tony as family left. She learns that Tony is leaving for university - Tina will do anything within her power to keep him home.

I learned that being under that time crunch it's easy for people to get confused where we are during story boarding when working with a large number of people. Also, once someone sets an idea for a film, we can't keep changing it because lots of complications arise with story gaps, unexplained characters or endings and time continuity.

Reverse Squiggly Productions, Cheetah Power Surge: Out of Gas!

2010-11-18T19:39:00.000-08:00

From Production Planning, my group and I made a mock-Production Company called, "Reverse Squiggly Productions" and advertised a product - an energy drink from Cheetah Power Surge!

'An unidentified young man is inexplicably driving alone down a highway, absolutely enjoying the ride, "rocking out" to the hard-rock music playing. He continues to drive along and soon after, the car begins to lurch and slow until it finally stops in an exhausted manner. He begins to try and move his car without gas by various means and finally gives up and begins to cry in his car. Then a can of Cheetah Power Surge is instantaneously materialized within his car. The young man picks it up curiously, and gives an excited smile, cracks open the can and begins to drink it briskly. Time passes, he drops the empty can, gets out of the car and begins to urinate into the fuel intake of his vehicle. He finishes up, gets in the car and the car starts quite vigorously and he speeds off out of the shot'.

I learned how to make an official production company book. The most important parts of a production book is Script and Storyboard, Critical Path, Production Log, Production Requirements and Schedules, Legal, Budget, Meeting Notes and Agendas, Invoices, Receipts and Cheques.

Professional Interests

2010-09-15T19:36:00.000-07:00

I love and want to know about non-linear video editing, writing for television, technical concepts and production planning! I want to work with different types of equipment, tape or tapeless, multi-camera live productions in any and all kinds of professional broadcast facilities. Hopefully, I will be able to work with world stage industry experts.

Working well in a team is utmost importance to me: having a great attitude, respecting each other, taking ownership of ourselves and being responsible to do our job together. Together, we can turn our passion for production and into a career.
