The newest script!

Hi Guys!

So obviously quite a few blog posts ago we mentioned that myself and Natalie had re-done our script since Emma left us and that we'll post our finalised one once it's complete as there were still lots of things to be done and atlered to it!

So here it is... Our real and final script... :D

VISIUALS	TIMING	SCRIPT
Kenneth Vessey (news reporter) walking towards the camera. Location: School field – Has the park like look. Piece to camera.	7.5 seconds	In the media over the past year there have been over 6,000 reports on dogs like Staffordshire Bull Terriers attacking young children and members of the public.
Filler Footage and News Story sequence. Dogs barking and jumping up at kennel bars – Black and White effect used to feel sympathetic. Filler footage location: RSPCA.	13 seconds	The media portrays these dogs in the way that there is no nice side to them and that they’re purely vicious and due to this this has led to a drastic increase in dogs like these going into animal shelters and has equally left them with a negative name.
Kenneth Vessey (news reporter), piece to camera again. Leading onto an interview of ‘vet’. Location: School field.	29 seconds	It is our aim to educate you further on this topic that dogs like Staffordshire Bull Terriers are in-fact beautiful four legged friends and that the true image of a dog is seen through the way they’re brought up and treated. Although, it is thoroughly understood some breeds have breed characteristics like the Jack Russell’s being known as ankle biters. We spoke to RSCPA Vet Dr Gilet about his personal opinion as to why there has been such a drastic increase in dogs like Staffordshire Bull Terriers going into animal shelters… and this is what he said…
Dr Gilet (veterinarian). Interview based on his personal opinion.   Location: Office.
Footage has been ‘captured’ and then ‘blurred’. Layers of bars showing confinement. Black and White effect used. Voice Over.	30 seconds	Here are some statistics on Staffordshire Bull Terriers… The number of Staffordshire Bull Terriers has increased by 85% since 1996. Out of 8,000 dogs based in a shelter in London 3,600 were Staffordshire Bull Terriers. Last year 315 healthy Staffordshire Bull Terriers are put down. Klaire Kennett from the RSCPA shelter in Potters Bar said one third of dogs they’re housing are Staffordshire Bull Terriers.
Secondary Footage. Voice Over, Kenneth Vessey explaining about charity and welfare organisations available for these types of dogs. Screen Recording – Cut Away Shots.	25 seconds	There are several shelters and charity organisations such as the Staffordshire Bull Terrier Welfare Charity and the RSPCA which are set up to help dogs like Staffordshire Bull Terriers, many of which are very successful. They ask members of the public to donate several things such as blankets and food in aid to help these dogs have a fresh start and have a healthy upbringing where they’ll be loved and cared for instead of being looked at like a fashion accessory.
Secondary Footage with Voice Over. Leading onto members of the public’s personal opinions.	10 seconds	We asked members of the public about their personal opinions on dogs like Staffordshire Bull Terriers of which are portrayed as being dangerous and vicious and here’s what they said…
Vox Pop… Location: Various.
Kenneth Vessey (reporter), piece to camera. Location: School field.	2.5  seconds	Kenneth Vessey reporting back to RAFA News.

Thanks!

Re-filimg one of our Vox Pop people...

Hi Guys,

So one of the people we filmed in our vox pop unfortunately wasn't placed correctly, for our liking, so we decided to re-film one more person.

We went outside the school and managed to catch some willing to be filmed and it was done within 5 minutes, loaded, edited and complete.

Hip hip horray for RAFA!

Thanks!
Team; Kenneth - Natalie.

Little touches... :D

Hi all,

So basically we've just got little bits and bobs to complete now like 'Press Red' and 'Name Banners' and then we're basically finished :)

Here is what we have produced -

PRESS RED

We used the media departments computers and went on Photoshop of where we managed to make our Press Red button. We used 'shapes' and found a circle of which we altered to the size we wanted and then filled in red. We also made a white box to go behind so when on the screen it wasn't transparent and used a bold eye catching font which said 'PRESS RED' in black. We then placed it in the right hand top corner where a normal news channel would making it look effective and professional! 

NAME BANNERS

We once again used Photoshop and used shapes. We got a rectangle and enlarged it and filled it in white and to the left hand side put our logo, we then used another rectangle but smaller this time and put it in the right hand bottom corner and filled it in blue which would state the persons roll within our news package i.e. news reporter or veterinarian etc. On top of this we stated the person name using the same colour blue however it would be on a white background so it could obviously be seen.

Everything is nearly complete and we look forward to showing you it :)

Thanks!

Team; Kenneth - Natalie.

Re-editing!

Hi guys!

So myself and Natalie have now re-filmed everything necessary meaning we just need to edit now, happy days!

Rather than doing our usual and just typing what we have done with not many visuals we thought this time we would show you step by step so you're more understanding of what we have altered and for what purpose etc.

Here it goes!... 

Firstly myself and Natalie re-filmed our piece to camera as we knew I was placed to much to the side unfortunately. However this time I was placed perfectly which was good. Alongside this we also added a little banner in the left hand corner of which says who I am... the News Reporter.

We then like before added some filler footage and news stories into my piece to camera for variation as we don't want to bore our target audience by nothing 'special' happening. Whilst doing this we remembered we must link the audio with visuals meaning what was playing linked together!

After the news stories and filler footage it goes back onto my piece to camera of which leads onto Sir's interview where he is acting as our professional vet... From now on in the left hand top corner is our logo representing our news channel. This gives our new package a professional and attractive look :)

Here is Sir in action! Once again a name banner comes up in the left hand corner showing who he is... Dr Gilet!

Afterwards we move onto official statistics where we have interesting facts come up onto the screen alongside a voice over underneath, this is placed over a very good shot we took when we visited the RSCPA of a Rottweiler behind several layers of bars showing the confinement making you feel sympathetic towards him/her. Another thing we did with the official statistics was made them short so that our target audience could easily read them alongside linking it with the voice over. We used blue bold font which matches our colour scheme, we also used the transition 'Zoom' of which makes them come onto the screen in a professional manner which is eye catching.

We then move onto another voice over and this time it talks about welfare and charity organizations of which are set up in aid to help dogs like Staffordshire Bull Terriers find new loving homes. We used secondary footage off of Youtube and also used the Media department Mac Books to film ourselves go onto the RSCPA website to 'donate' money. Once again the visuals and audio match!   

Last but not least it moved onto our Vox Pops of which shows the members of the public's personal opinions towards the way dogs like Staffordshire Bull Terriers are portrayed within society and equally them being given negative names i.e. being dangerous and vicious. 

After all of the above it comes back to me as a piece to camera where I finish the show in a professional manner :)

Throughout the whole of the above we used several effects and transitions like ... in aid for our news channel programme to look professional and real. Alongside this we also used a variety of different shots, fonts, sizes etc in aid to make it bold, eye catching and suit our target audience of kids. 

Here are some prime examples of effects, transitions, fonts/sizes etc we used:

Additive Dissolve

Cross Dissolve

Stretch

Zoom

Black & White Effect

Fade In and Out - Audio/Video

Font/Size/Colour

Thanks!

Filming Sir, our Vet :)

Hi Guys,

So obviously previously myself and Natalie prepared everything for this interview so we were ready to go and just needed to film him.

One day after school me and Natalie stayed after school and caught Mr Gilet when he was free, he gave good answers and looked very much so like a vet with his clothing and so on so we're basically done.

All footage just needs to be put onto our file and then be edited and then we're complete!!!! :D

Our office! :)

Thanks!
Team; Kenneth - Natalie.
