- First year TV Project
- March 2014
My role: Editor, Camera
This was a very set brief, a music TV show called Acoustic 5 and we were given the talent. Not that I'm complaining, Abbie Lammas was fantastic to work with and a really talented singer songwriter.
In the pre-recorded segment introducing the talent we had to make sure we followed certain rules. These including good framing of the shots and also getting interesting cutaways and enough of them, something I learned during editing is that cutaways get eaten up really quickly. You can never film enough cutaways.
For the live aspect we had to really study the song to make sure the shots suited what she was singing and so we effectively conveyed the emotion grounded within the performance. Equally we had to show the 'musicality' is I think it was how it was put, hence the guitar shots (which are a staple of any guitar based performance.)
This was a good introduction to the TV studio which none of the team had had prior experience with before this project. However, I'm glad we got more freedom with future briefs.
