Solution to news report

After doing the mind map we have solutions to our news reports:

Outside: 
We will be moving to a different location in the shelter to protect the mic from the wind blowing and to avoid the cars going past our camera. Also learn the line a bit more so we know what we are saying without any stutters or pauses.

Inside (Quiet):
We will need to make the news readers closer to the camera and the mic and maybe even use a time mic as we are to Quiet and there is no need to be that far away from the camera. Also tell people to not spin on there chairs as you can here squeaking. Also ask people to open up their drinks before or after we have filmed and the news readers need to learn the script and practice to more.

Inside (Loud):
We will need to make the news readers again closer to the mic and camera and maybe use a time mic as we are to far away from the camera and we are hard of hearing. Also people walking in front of the camera and in front of the news readers blocking them from being scene and tell them to go another way round or wait to get past after we have filmed. Also there was loud music in the background and people and tell people to be quiet and turn off all things that are loud.

analysing our footage

Outside: 
While we filmed outside there were only a few problems such as people walking by talking but we didn't have a problem with people walking in front of the camera. Also there were car driving past and we could hear the car through the mic but that is not in our control so we may move to a different location to avoid this problem. 

Inside (noisy): 
The were a lot of problems with filming indoors such as while we were recording people were throwing object across the room in front of the camera. Also music was playing loudly in  the classroom and people where shouting and talking in the background and people walking in front of the camera.


Inside (quiet): 
We had no problems filming in our quiet location as there was not as many people in the class room and we told people to be quiet. The only problem for this was people were squeaking on their chairs.

Preparing to shoot on location

It is important to make a plan before you go out and shoot or audio on location because you might go to a location where something might be going on in the background such as an airport where there will be planes taking off. Also there maybe interference from other electronic devices or if near a power station they might get interference from the power station. If you do not plan you will end up getting bad sound quality or noise interference from the background.

If I was filming this I would film away from the current location because they must of know it was filled with a lot fans who are happy at the moment. So the sound is bad and there is a supporter disturbing the report.
