Broadstairs Food Festival Reflection
Overall I think this piece was decent; it falls a little due to our reporter talking rather quickly and the framing of our interview with Jo being side on as opposed to a more angled one. I made the mistake of, whilst Mike was running about getting cutaways, not recording audio with the shots resulting in me having to find royalty-free sound effects online to overlay said cutaways.
The framing of the rest of the shots were great: Mike was on camera and made sure things looked as good as possible.
I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the piece though as we had to film this on very short notice: the 2nd week into our course in fact.
Folkestone Triennial Reflection
This piece, I feel, is the stronger of the two: with a more cleaner look to it. There wasn't a rush in having to produce it as we had plenty of time to plan ahead. The reporter did a very good job in speaking her lines and we got through the day pretty quickly. I was on camera for this one and I feel I did a good job but there are a couple of over-exposure issues. The sound is better too and the graphics really help bring the piece up to a more professional standard.
Overall Unit Reflection
One thing I've learned is that making news is tough. We've had several weeks to make two pieces whilst in reality the reporters have a few hours. I'm very impressed on how quickly the professionals do it!
Everyone did their parts well and each contributed to the projects: everyone had a creative control which allowed some good ideas to be proposed and eventually carried out.
