NEWS UNIT: FILM PASS NEWS

Only just got round to posting this now post first interview, but here it is. We decided on our working title as above and have decided to go for a very different idea and angle for our news channel than we originally discussed.

The Pitch is:

A news channel dedicated to informing people of the upcoming film events such as film festivals, exclusive film screenings and premieres, and local film shootings. Our program will provide extensive coverage of places worth being where you can see films worth seeing.

So as seen in the pitch we are very much focussing on films and film events in particular. We have already got things lined up including the interview we already completed on Monday concerning the London Film Festival.

Our structure goes as such:

To introduce the package and the OB we will need a studio. However at the present moment we are still debating as to whether we use green screen or a physical makeshift studio, I am pushing for the latter.

Live

For our OB we will have a reporter on the scene at the Hazlitt theatre in Maidstone reporting on the Maidstone Film society which screens films from September to April on Monday's at 8pm. Our plan here is to have the reporter enter buy a ticket and then conduct an interview with a member of the society to find out about it and what they are screening and when.

We want an energetic and knowledgable presenter who we will have to cast from outside the course if we want it to be successful and look professional.

Package

We've already conducted an interview with Corina Downing Education manager at the BFI about the LFF and what it is offering. So our idea is to use her interview as the narration during our package interlacing footage of people at the festival in London as well as signs and possibly trailers for films mentioned, thats if we can get permission to show clips of them.
