Professional Practice Report Brief

Professional Practice

For this project, I will be completing 2 week's experience at Renegade Pictures in London and on-set in Gaydon, a 1500 word report on the sector of the job, and a journal documenting my reflections during the project.
In our first lesson addressing the report, here are my notes:

Required Research

  • The company
    • What they do
    • how does it run
  • Your sector
  • Your role
  • Go beyond your role- more than what your job taught you.
  • The content
  • write as though you're teaching someone the information

Blog Plan

  • Reflections on process
  • Research as you go/ research on how to solve problems that you've faced
  • it's not just about you. Write about other people's roles that you've learned about
  • write about the area that you're working in, not just the role specifically
    • The role could be a case study
  • Your sketchbook- It'll improve your work as you go

Report Plan

  • Shows how much you're learning from your research
  • If you do a reflection, it should be short and relevant.
  • Formal language
  • Content:
    • Beginning
      • Contents page
      • Introduction
        • Into into your company and sector
    • Middle
      • Main body
      • Methodology
        • role
        • sector
        • How you used it
        • How does the company work (what methods do they use)
        • How the job is done professionally
      • How the company is affected by changing broadcast landscape
      • Give the reader a wider understanding of what you did
      • Read and research rather than describe
    • End 
      • Conclusion
        • Summarises the body
      • Appendixes
      • Illustrations
      • Bibliography
  • The report is about them, not you.

Screenwriter: Jack Thorne

Jack Thorne. Jack Thorne is a screenwriter, known most notably for This is England  and Skins , but also stage plays such as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Let The Right One In . [1] His work tends to be dark or particularly stylistic. You can see a similarity between a lot of his works, in the way characters relationships are very realistic. He seems to know his characters like they are his friends and family, and write them in a way that makes them particularly relatable and believable to the viewer. In Skins, all of the characters have a friendship that is unique to them. None of them will share the same kind of connection. This can also be said for This is England . From what I've seen in This is England '86 , this sense of unique friendships continues. Every character is different to the last, and they seem to be known in so much detail that you could guess things about them that aren't even shown. He represents real people and real situations, albeit ...

Documentary: Presenters

Presenters. Presenter-led documentaries create a certain style that is easily engaging for the viewer. They have a sort of 'reference point' to focus on and that feeds them the information they need, while asking the questions they're wondering. As presenter of our group documentary, I want to know what's involved in being a presenter and why a presenter is used for some documentaries, but not others. The Role As a presenter, it's your job to, as you would expect, present the show. Using research that has been done in the pre-production the presenter is able to inform the viewer. They also interact with contributors asking questions, and essentially tell the story of the documentary. It's useful to have a presenter as it means we are likely to get more information from actuality if the presenter asks questions as it's happening. It also adds to the story as the presenter is usually on a journey to learn about the topic of the documentary- this is s...

This House Has People In It (S2S Research)

This House Has People In It. This video is one of my favourite short films by YouTube channel Adult Swim. The video consists of (fiction) surveillance footage from an American family home. The shots show different angles from throughout the house and the production is edited in a format that is much like a security camera scroll- it goes from camera to camera as the scene unfolds. The parents are talking in the kitchen with the daughter lying face down on the floor. Eventually the parents turn the conversation to the daughter on the floor and try to get her up. They believed she was throwing a tantrum but soon realise she's stuck. As the family get more and more panicked she begins to sink into the floor and chaos unfolds as the cameras continue to flick between one another showing the rest of the house. Adult Swim The YouTube channel Adult Swim joined YouTube on March 2nd, 2006. Channel stats from Social Blade . Since then, they have made 8,302 public videos and ga...
