Webisodes Production

Like we had planned to last week me and Niina went to the 3 different departments today to film them for our webisodes. We firstly went to the catering department, where Jamie was happy for us to set the camera up and start filming students and herself around the kitchen. We had planned to film her doing a demonstration and then get footage of the students doing the same. But when we arrived the class had already started and they were nearly done cooking. So we started filming some of the catering students finishing off there cooking and we did get some good shots. Then Jamie set her class another task to make another dish, so we filmed the beggining of this and got about 10 minutes of footage which we are going to edit. However after watching the footage back we realised that we because we didn't use the tripod some of our footage is really wobbly and messy because we were holding the camera and walking around the kitchen. So we are going to use the footage which is good and then have another meeting with Jmaie to see if we can maybe go down there again and get some better footage.


The next department that we went to was the science department where the teacher said last week that she will have an experiment for her class to do so that we could film it. But when we got there she did have an experiment planned for her students but it was just a small experiment. We were asked to stand on one side of the room so that we were not in the way. We got some footage of her demonstrating what to do and then some other footage of her students doing it. Our footage is good, but it isn't very exciting and I don't think it will make our target audience interested in the science department and therefore doesn't respond to the brief of promoting the college. 


Finally we went to the Motor vehicles department where we got footage of the garage which once again because we didn't use the tripod our footage is very messy and shaky which doesn't look very professional and wouldn't look very good. However we did get some good footage of one of the students taking the gearbox out of a car, and we also got some good footage of all the cars and machines that they use. I think that we need to go and get some more footage from all the departments again, but this time we need to use a tripod and ask them to make sure that they have something interesting and good planned for their classes so that our webisodes will appeal to our target audience. 




7/4/11 - Today we are going to be going back to motor vehicles so that we can get some more footage but this time we have arranged it so that the building will be empty, because last time we went down there the students were being very immature and just running away from the camera. So we decided that we are going to use some of the good footage that we have got and then use some of the footage that we get this afternoon of the new Gwenvor building, then we will edit it down to 45 seconds using final cut, adding fades and transitions.
