AUDIENCE PROFILE COLLAGE CONSTRUCTION: FILMING THE NEWS SCENE

Our opening film sequence involves a new scene, where the news reporters spoke about a recent death of a young girl in the woods. To film this, we used two people in our school year, Olivia Stocks and Sam Hartley, as the news readers. As they were already in business clothes, this role worked well for them and they speak nicely, which is important for a news reader. We moved the black sofa in front of the green screen, then tried our best to create an autocue so they could read their script whilst 'looking at the camera'. This was successful, they both played their roles professionally and it looks very convincing. When we begin to edit, we will turn the green screen into a news backdrop. We used a tripod and iPhone to film this scene, with myself and other team member directing. 

Unfortunately, due to our 2 minute cut off point we had to cut the news scene, as we felt other scenes would be more beneficial and make more sense to the film opening. However, filming and constructing these News Scenes was a good experience, and we learnt useful skills we will be able to use again in the future.
