Crime Seen
A project to produce a 25 minute live show, with several pre-recorded segments, using a variety of facilities and techniques. This was a group project, with 10 in my group.
We chose to create a spoof Crimewatch style show, much like Brasseye. We scripted several VT packages and live segments for the show, a few of which I personally wrote. I also took a leading role in the production and post-production of the show, and presented a couple of segments.
The show’s schedule ran as follows:
- Title sequence – a mix of recorded footage with 3D graphics and stills artwork with a custom written theme tune to head the show;
- Introduction – a live section introducing the show from the 2 main presenters;
- VT package 1 – this was a fake story about the murder of the VC’s pet panda investigating into this, presented by myself filmed at various locations;
- Crime weather – this was a funny live segment detailing the ‘crime weather forecast’ for the coming week, this used a retro-reflective LED green screen;
- Ad break – this was a 3 minute fake ad break consisting of 4 adverts book-ended with a ‘tea-time teaser’ question;
- Crime news – this was a live segment covering recent crime stories from over the world;
- Phone-in – this was a live phone-in segment using fake callers;
- VT package 2 – this was a story about a counterfeiting ring based in Wales, shot like a MacIntire investigate documentary;
- Interview – this was an improvised interview following up on the panda story in VT package 1, I was the interviewer for this segment;
- E-mails – this section was much like the phone-in segment, and was used to easily fill up/cut down the show;
- Live musical performance – this was a live performance from a performer, live-directed using a 3 camera set up, this was used to maintain the shows length.
