TV Play is our digital TV channel for the course. I planned my episode in the last couple of weeks and had Josh and jack help me with filming due to the tight schedule.
My episode is on Halloween with a bit of history where it began, how people celebrate it in the UK compared to USA and what they dress up as. It is educational but also funny. I wanted to show people how it has all changed over the years.
I did some research and had help from Helen to make my script as I needed to do a A/V script to be detailed with what is being said next to what is being shown (room, shot size, what is happening). I had PTC (piece to camera) introducing and presenting throughout with short vox pox montage after each piece to get answers from people.
Josh filmed the vox pox as I was unavailable. Jack filmed me presenting in my flat as I didn't have enough time to go back to the base room and film there. The lighting wasn't brilliant as I was using the light in my flat, I added some brightness to the edit. The sound was a slight issue as I used my own camera (more convenient) and used the mic on the camera. The sound was not great quality but it was still clear enough to hear what people were saying.
I think it went well as I wanted to keep it simple and concentrate on the content. I edited it straight after on my mac and then uploaded it for Helen to check. Once I had the all clear I gave it to Ferg to upload to the TVP channel ready for broadcast at 1pm.
The Episode:
I enjoyed making the episode and I will do another one at some point. Next time I will plan further ahead and make it more entertaining like having a set of challenges for people to do. I will also have different camera shots and angles.
