DIGITAL NEWS: FARREN BLACKBURN TV PLAY (EXPERIENCE AND PRACTICE)

I can't say I've had practice in News. But I have had practice with interviews through the documentary unit but also with TV Play as I did a package on Farren Blackburn. I feel this is expereince and practice because when doing this. I didn't have long to plan and because Farren gave such a detailed Master Class, I had to find a way to get a structure and sort of story for the video through the interview with him. Since he had so much to talk about I focused on the main topic which was how to become a director since that is what you would most likely ask a TV Director.

I had to cut up the interview a lot and make it work for me but I'm happy with it. Although the only shots I had to cut to were of Farren giving the class and of the students but I used this to my advantage so cut between the audio of the interview and the Master Class and it helped work the narrative of the video.
What I've taken from this is definitely preparation is needed to make things a lot smoother. I had to work out a structure for the video in post and this could have taken a turn for the worse and this was a one shoot, there wasn't any chance of a pick up.
