introduction
hello my name is Ashley and this is my project 3 scrapbook for this project we have been tasked to recreate a tv sitcom scene there were two script a British one and an American one I got given the British one
week 1 day 1
so today we have been given our assignment briefs and were put into groups where we were given separate episode scripts some of them American and some of them are British scripts the first thing we did was cast our characters
the past couple days
so these past couple of days we have been setting the scene out for the scene that we have been doing for me I’ve been laying out the markers that we all have to stand on for marks and yesterday we were in the tv studio the script we have been given from the series 1 episode 1 sardines or the series premiere so yesterday we were in the tv studio and me and two others were on cameras and the third person was in the sound studio using the sound mixers and the other stuff we were also talking to the other group who had the other inside number 9 script a season 3 episode the bill
so today we have our production meeting with the other group that is doing inside number 9
we have also sorted my costume out for next week on Wednesday when we go over to the tv studio to film our scenes
I have been watching the episodes that the two groups are doing for inside number 9 well today we watched the other group and they watched us perform our scene
inside number 9 is a British sitcom and there is a lot of dark humor or know as black humor some of settings are inside a mansion un like any other sit com this has 30 minutes episodes also it is an anthology series
this week has been a bit mad with us doing all the prep for next week we have been discussing costume lighting etc. and we have been also discussing the set design for our project same for the other group who is doing the project inside no 9 I made the first version of the storyboard people saying it wasn’t good so it was remade better version so today we watched one of the friends group the episode we watched act was the first episode of friends I thought that it was really good and now we are filming next week so next week I need my costume so I am ready for my make up so then I can go to the tv studio
next week we have three days including tomorrow to fully rehearse our scene get the ques on time and learn our lines without our scripts one rule I need to follow is never to look directly into the cameras
I honestly can’t wait to do this scene because I think we have worked hard on this project
so this week we have been rehearsing our scene and getting ready for Wednesday so today we have shown the others our scene in the wardrobe we got feedback on how we can improve it
so today we have filmed our scene now we have to film the other group next week but did ours today I think that it went well and we didn’t even need our scripts so it went well and if I were to do it again I would speak up when speaking my lines
we filmed it 3 times well 4 because one of the cameras wasn’t in the right place so now it is being edited the green cloth is a green screen you can put it up and then project an image onto the screen it can be any image you want it to be like a wardrobe door or a window panel you can put anything on the background
the way we had it planned was that two at the back and the three that come in at the front I had to be standing in front of the microphone sometimes
the other day before we went to do the filming of the scene we were in the make-up room we got our makeup on and then we went over to the tv studio and we filmed our scene 3 times with different cameras we have some close up shots as well and of course, we have some funny bits as well and now that ours is done we have to film the other group on Wednesday we have to go back to the tv studio
my makeup artist took some photos of me I can only put 2 on because I only need to and I think our filming went well it didn’t take long to do a few bloopers
so now that my scrapbook is due next week so this project went well with no hiccups everyone was there we got it done and now it is in the editing phase so then we can look at it later on in the next week or so I will like to see how we did on the process of recording
my research on this project has made me develop my character traits like I have a dry sense of humor for my character the social and political issues in 2014 were flooding in Norfolk 4 people were killed when a RAF helicopter crashed
also, march 29th same-sex couples could get married the two characters that are a same-sex couple are my character carl and Stuart the fact relates to them because this was a big thing back in the day 2014 29th march 2014
the challenge that I found out that without a script and I kept starting my lines while people were finishing their lines and I didn’t have timing so the things I will do differently on the next project is that I learn to know when to start saying my lines and not start saying my lines before others finish theirs so I can then I can become better at my lines for the amp
the hazards of working in a tv studio are that you could trip over a wire and onto the camera or one of the cameras in the tv studio is like a guillotine if you put your hand in there your hand won’t be on your body for long also the cameras could knock you out all of these are serious injury to you and others also in a tv studio you can also people can cause fires
for the set, we put two halves of wood with a green screen on and for costume me and Adri wore a suit and Alex wore a dress and tara wore a casual shirt when we filmed it in the tv studio and tia wore a dress
the plot of the episode is that a group of adults are at a wedding carl, Rebecca, Ian, Stuart, and Rachel are playing sardines where one hides and when the others find them they hide in the same place.
inside number 9 is a series with dark and adult content I mean the plot twist at the end carl and Rebecca’s dad committed crimes against ian so Ian decides to get revenge on him by burning the house down with the others in the wardrobe like i was saying it is a dark comedy series the show is innocent but the subtext(underneath the surface) is dark with all of these subject matter I don’t want to go into detail about it just mentioning it makes me feel disgusted by it
also, it is heavily implied that Andrew the father may have attacked john and caused him to stop washing also carl andrews son shows emotional damage also when carl speaks it is implied that carl could have been a victim of Andrew
last week when we filmed last week I was feeling a bit nervous but we got through it
so in a couple of days, I will receive my viva then I can upload it to this page the viva will be coming on in a couple of days
this is the video for sardines that we filmed a couple of weeks ago the viva questions will be on soon the video that goes along with the questions will be done tomorrow it will be uploaded tomorrow I know now why it is called inside number 9 because most of the settings are places with a 9 on it
the video above is the viva questions that I have answered yesterday at home
