Graded Unit 2 Proposal

I recently completed the Proposal for my second year Graded Unit. This is our major project for the year that brings together all our learning and gives us our grade for the course.

The project will be another film, focusing around the time lapse technique. Following on from how well my last film was received I wanted to take all the stuff I learnt and have another go. All going well it will be completed for early May 2011. At the moment it's called "The Night".

Also if you haven't watched it yet, here's my first film:

Meadows Elms ENG

Here's my latest Electronic News Gathering Report. It covers the story of what is to happen to a group of diseased Elm trees in Edinburgh's Meadows area. Directed, Filmed & edited by me with a big thank you to Jamie Palmer for Presenting and Bob Hollinsworth for doing sound. Also a big thank you to Tom Cooper for being so helpful.



Also here's a low resolution copy of an ENG that I did camera for. This was filmed on the much smaller Sony HV-A1E camera. It's easier to carry around than the usual JVC GYHD-110 but not quite as much fun!

UPDATE: Edinburgh University Settlement Charity

UPDATE: Very excited to see this report is referred to on the Guardian Website & and linked on the Edinburgh Inspiring Capital Website. Exciting to see it doing so well!

Here's an ENG report on the Edinburgh University Settlement Charity which recently went bankrupt. I was Camera Operator for this report. It was a fun day and the Forest provided lots of opportunity to gather some nice GV's and interview footage.




Others involved were: Robert Motyka-Director & Edit, Ben Glasgow-Sound & Jamie Palmer-Presenter.

ENG: Health Inequalities

Here's my first ever Electronic News Gathering piece. It was filmed around Edinburgh for assessment in the ENG element of my course. I chose the subject, wrote the script in conjunction with the presenter & filmed & directed the piece. It was a time limited assessment. More to follow!

EDINBURGH: I finally caught it!

I finally managed to catch my film on the BBC Big Screen, which was pretty awesome! Here's a few shots!
