Workshop: News Story on Maidstone

We were given a task in our workshop to get into our digital news groups and create a short package story on maidstone.

            Script                                                                                                             Shooting List


On the workshops I missed when I was ill, our group had to write a script and shot list for a news package.

When I returned back to university we were given the task that week to film our news piece. Luckily I was around to help out with filming.



Here is the rough cut of what the other had filmed before I came back to university.


Last week we was able to go to Maidstone and film our piece to camera's (PTC) and any extra shots we could get around Maidstone. We only had that morning to film as in the afternoon we had to attend a lecture so that we could show our class our news piece we had filmed.

We was able to film our shots on time, however after trying different ways of exporting the footage onto Sei-Kai's laptop in town, it wouldn't work. After eating lunch we went to the studios and ended up getting there in time for our lecture.

Helen understood that we had exporting problems, so we couldn't complete our news piece in time to show the class.

We showed Helen our rough cut of what we had so far and she said that a couple of our shots were shaky, as we didn't use a tripod, also that there were a lot of shots that didn't last long on screen and went very quickly, it would have been better to have the shots stretched out longer so that it gave the viewer time to see what is on the screen.

Luckily with the help of Chris, Sei-Kai was able to finish our edit, apparently we didn't film our footage on the right file. Chris was able to change the setting so that the files could export from the camera. Now we know how to avoid this problem in the future, once we take the camera out we have to reset it to make sure that we have the correct file format.

Here is our finished video:
