Later in the day on Monday, we filmed the intro for our
commissioned show, ‘The Manual’, in the CCi studio. For this filming, we mainly
used the 3 male presenters, Charlie, Dom and Umby, because we wanted them to
get to know each other more and start to get into the role.
For the intro, we wanted to film men doing various ‘man
tasks’ and silhouette them for a nice ‘arty’ look. The green screen within the
studio was therefore the best place to film this, as we did not want anything
in the background.
For this filming, I brought many props that we would use to
show these ‘man tasks’ and examples of games they will take part in during the
show, such as a dumbbell, a steering wheel cut-out, a hammer and ‘The Manual’
book. Rather than book a camera out to film this, we decided to use the studio
camera record directly onto Avid in the edit room within the CCi office. To
relay instructions between the studio and edit room, we used the
walkie-talkies, which was a lot easier and quicker.
To make it easier for us in the studio to see how it would
look as a silhouette, we turned on the monitor in the studio and I adjusted the
key settings on the Tricaster. However we had to revert back to the normal key
whenever we wanted to record otherwise the silhouettes wouldn’t look very good.
We went through most of the shots that I had listed, but some we left out
because they were not very recognisable or couldn’t be achieved very well.
At the end of the day, Michael and myself booked out
equipment for our filming on December 5th and 6th. These shoots will also
require a fair amount of equipment as there is a lot going on and we want to
make it look as good as possible. After that we decided to have a quick look
upstairs in the room that we would be filming the DIY assembly challenge. This
room seemed quite noisy due to the air conditioning, which we will look into to
see if we can turn it off. We may turn all the lights off in this room and
solely use our own lights to give the room a better look.
