Analysing our footage

Inside Location
Empty Classroom
The audio for this location was near perfect overall but there was a slight buzzing sound/ humming from nearby computers and the florescent lighting. I wouldn't change much of this clip as the audio worked perfectly.

Outside Location
College Car-park
The audio for this location wasn't that great as there was the noise from the generator nearby and also it was a winding day so we were getting interferences. Personal microphones would of worked better in this situation.

Inside Location
Corridor
There is a lot of background noise/ interference from people walking past which takes your attention away from the presenters.

Locations and Equipment list

In my group it consists of me (Harry Plunkett), Casey Brown, Edd Headen and Jack Neale.

The three locations we will be filming in is The Balcony Cafe as our busy inside area, an empty classroom which is our quiet indoor area and our outside location will be the southern car-park.

The equipment needed will be the college cameras (Sony PD170) or Jack's camera (Canon 550D) and sound kit to obviously record the sound.

Edd Headen will be news reporter one
Jack Neale will be news reporter two

Preparing to shoot on location

1. Having a plan is important for any production because it helps you know what you are doing and where. If you haven't planned where you were going to film the atmos could be overwhelming, this would ruin any sound you try to record and possibly could ruin your piece.

2. Like I said it could possibly ruin your piece and some people would find it unwatchable. This is very common with news reports because its live TV and they don't decide what location the news will be at.

This is a news report for Hurricane Irene, the weather is so heavy it makes the guy's voice hard to hear which really draws your attention away for the report. In a news report it is important to listen to what is being said.
