Editing..

During the editing process i have realised that my initial script was far too long to squeeze into 20 seconds. Therefore i have had to edit my footage to cut my script down, however i dont feel you get the same effect as the initial script but still gets a strong message accross.

Hoofers health club

Today i have a meeting with Zach to discuss my idea's for a piece of multimedia work for his company. My first choice would be a promotional video. As hoofers is an new modern gym i want the video to target young proffesionals. The gym has:

- A main gym room
- A ladies Oasis gym
- An aerobics studio
- Swimming Pool
- Sauna
- Boxing studio

I wanted to start off the video upbeat and lively having close ups of fast moving feet and arms then zooming out to what the athlete was doing. e.g images of fast moving feet on a cross trainer zooming out to the full shots or fast moving hands on a punch bag zooming out to the full shot. Then after cutting to pans of the main reception and introducing the gym, telling people where it is, cut to more relaxing slow shots of the pool and the sauna.

Filming day 20/11/09

9am start filming day was succesful, the crew took the roles of

Stephanie Woolley - Camera operation
Amee Egerton - Sound
William Hutchinson - Director
Laura Corney - Actress

Location - TV Studio A - Waverly Building - Nottingham Trent University


Filming was a fairly quick process, only taking 3 hours for setting up, rehearsal and filming.

New script

Black background – Title fades in

“Meet Isabella Barwinska”

I never thought anything like this could ever happen to me. I downloaded one game and one music file. That’s it. Can you honestly say you’ve never done the same?

(cutting to a close up shot of her mouth as she talks)

I was made to pay £16,000 for the game I downloaded and £18,000 for the song I downloaded without copyright permission.

(fading back to a side profile shot)

That’s £34,000 that I don’t have, it would have cost me lot less to legally download them. I thought everyone did it, how would I ever be the one to get caught? You think there’s all these people selling thousands of illegal copies, why was it me that got caught for 2 items of media?

(Ending on a face-on shot of the actress)

alterations

As i have been thinking into my project i decided it would be easier to find a UK example to use rather than Jannie, as my actor has only been in amateur performances i think it could come across cheesy if she tries to attempt an American accent. Instead i have decided to use Isabella Barwinska.


Isabella Barwinska, who at the time lived in Leytonstone, east London, was the first offender to be made to pay damages to a manufacturer of computer games.She was made to pay £16,000 after being taken to court by computer game manufacturers TopWare Interactive, who were seeking to protect their copyright.
Similar action was been launched by the music industry - the British Phonographic Industry - to stop illegal file sharing, which costs it billions each year.
It is understood that Barwinska did not file share for commercial profit or gain but to exchange with friends.

Script - draft

Black background – Title fades in

“Meet Jannie Rassett- a single mother from America”

I never thought anything like this could ever happen to me. My son introduced me to Kazaa, a file sharing program; I downloaded 24 songs in 3 years.

(cutting to a close up shot of her mouth as she talks)

Somehow I was the one that got caught being fined $10,000 per song for downloading media that I did not have permission to download

(fading back to a side profile shot)

, totalling at $240,000. Its insane really seeing as it would have cost me $17.76 to download the songs from a legal sight. I thought everyone did it, how would I ever be the one to get caught? Now I’ll spend the rest of my life paying it back for the sake of 24 songs.

“Think again!”
The character i have decided to use is Jannie-Rassett. As I only have 6 weeks to complete the project I will keep it simple by only having one actor, telling her story of how she was affected by the matter.

The atmosphere I want to create is a simple, clean setting so that the subject of the issue is not distracted from. I will be filming in a studio in the Waverly building of Nottingham Trent university, using a white background and 3 point lighting.

I want my actress to be 22-25 years of age, creating a basic character wearing simple clothes such as jeans and a vest top, with her hair scraped back and minimal make up on so that the character is easier to relate to and everyone can try to see a part of them in her with out being too extreme in anyway.
