March 22nd - Today was the first round of live shows taking place in T42. One aspect non of the groups had really considered was using a Boom mic to pick up better sound from the presenters. Just before broadcast I volunteered to hold the boom for the first group in the morning.
This really struck me as amazing how no one had really considered how the sound was going to be recorded on the day. Holding the boom mic was a good experience for me being able to gain knowledge in another part of what it takes to put a show together; how hard it is to hold a boom mic for a long period of time, the preferred method to hold it and at what height above the presenters heads to maintain it. This may also give our show a slight advantage come tomorrow as I saw some of the mistakes the first group made in editing or presenting wise, which I can relay back to the team and we can sort out similar upcoming issues.
I will also be assisting in the sound with tomorrows afternoon group.
We broadcast tomorrow (23rd March) and we needed to come up with an opening sequence for the show. After a very quick brainstorm in class, Ian, Brittany and myself decided after college we would head down to Goffs Park and create some kind of colourful opening.
Ian and Brittany between them have paintballs and paintball guns. We wanted something extremely colourful with vibrant colours and an angle that would create an immediately lively vibe for the audience as soona s the show begins, opening up to an equally colourful set.
We went into Goffs park (22nd) and filmed Ian shooting paintballs onto a wall creating a bright yellow area on a white wall in a mixture of wide shots, close ps and low angled shots. Brittany also brought along with her a rainbow coloured umbrella which I filmed spinning around and around several times.
Despite not being the editor in our group, I am the only one with a copy of Final Cut Pro which can be used to our advantage outside of college hours. With roughly 20 minutes of footage on the tape I loggedthe footage found a short piece of guitar solo and created a short 17 second opening. The music was extremely fast paced, upbeat and cheery allowing me to create a very quickly cut and colourful montage of clips using the umbrella as the main focus, having it spin in the background with close ups of paint balls exploding on the wall.
