The final edit of my clip is below!
Evaluation :
(Talking about the experience with my role mostly)
This project was a great experience! We was given 2 weeks to do this project and we booked the studio for that duration. Everyone was involved in this project and had different roles that they had to do. On the 1st day of shooting, my role was the lighting director, I had to make sure the room was lit perfectly and bright enough as in the production we was using a green screen. The 1st day was also the day we began our test runs.
The crew members:
- Brenda Canas - Floor Manager
- Raheem Horne Green - Camera Man
- Wehlia Kahin - News woman / Director
- Simon - Camera Man
- Daniel - Camera Man
- Sherene Blackwood - Host
- Elijah Campbell - Host
- George Dymond - Producer
- Inna - Director
- Oltjana Bardhi - Outsider Broadcaster Witness
- Jazire Nakitende - Gossip Host and Camera person
On the second day of shooting, my role varied from being the lighting director to checking on the sound in the control room. I had to ensure and let the floor-manager know whether we could hear our hosts and presenters through their microphones. I found this role, very easy and faced no difficulties doing so.
On the third day of shooting it was mostly the recording of the segments on the show such as
- The Interview with James Edmund
- Jazire Gossip Section
On the 4th day of shooting it was the day where we went through some bits of the show that needed going over, such as Jazire's gossip section we needed to film a part two it and they were sometimes moments where she wanted to record again due to the mistakes she had made on the recording.

On the 5th day we began recording the performance of our guest singer Rodrigo, This took a lot of time due to sound problems, we could not hear him from the computer when the recording was finshed or through the speakers.
We also managed to get a last minute interview with an actress called Shaye Poulton.

On the 6th day of shooting, It was mostly the recording of my outside broadcaster role. Me and Oltjana went outside near St George's park to get a recording of a park pond that we found, we wanted some footage of a pond so the report would be more realistic. The third day of shooting, was also the day where we shot Oltjana's part of the recording, which was her being a witness.
The outside broadcast shooting, did have a lot of re-takes. This was mainly because I felt the camera person Oltjana was not holding the camera in a good angle. Unfortunately I deleted the outtakes so I can not present them on my blog. They would be some recordings where the camera would be shaky and out of focus, but eventually we managed to secure a recording that was quite decent. In my opinion I believe that the clip that was used could have been better if the background was more present in the scene and if i was not speaking to fast.
My Strengths and Weaknesses.
I believe that now watching the show now, that the editing has been completed there is some areas in the show in which the editing needs more work on. I had a problem with the way the news was edited, the news woman would sometimes appear in and out of the scene in a jumpy motion, and I tried my best to do it so it would be in-sync but I failed trying. The editing was a hard process, I struggled a bit but I tried to edit the imperfections but they were still a bit present. However at the end of the day I am still learning and believe that I will surely be more confident in editing pieces of work! it will all take a matter of time.
I believe that some of my strengths were Jazire's gossip section, I got a lot of praise in that section by my peers, people would say that the way I edited her section looked quite similar to gossip shows on TV, which is what I aimed for. I'm absolutely pleased with the way i edited her gossip section, however i believe they are some bits that need some improvement, such as her voice when doing voice-overs, it could be a lot smoother and in-sync. Other than that I am satisfied in the way I edited her piece.
What I have learnt from this process
Generally I have learnt a lot from this process, it had taught me the importance of team work as we all had to communicate to each other within this project. Another thing I have learnt in this process is to be patient and to have a flexible schedule as they could be potenional technical difficulties we could face in this project.
