Before our second year finished, Helen, Danny and I (Tekkers TV), decided to work together again on the final major project. For this we decided to include Aimee Saunders as it would help us to fill some roles and tea some pressure of Helen. The idea was that we all had our individual roles and although we give our opinion and share some input with each other, that we had the chance to do mainly 1 job we could focus on. The team roles were going to be layout like this:
Helen - Scriptwriter
Danny - Director
Aimee - Producer
Myself - Cinematographer/Editor
My job particularly was gonna be a bit different as I had 2 different roles which were associated with each other, but at the same time they allowed me to them then separately. I was going to mainly focus on the camera set ups and layout during the pre production and the production and then put all my focus on editing during the post production phase. More importantly I realized I still had to do quite some research during the pre production and at this stage was when I also decided to some editing work during this stage.
Our idea was to do a TV Show based on football, in this case a Sunday League team. I wasn't sure what that was a the beginning as I wasn't familiar with the term, but after getting explained roughly, I assimilated it with how we call it in spanish and the I definitely knew what we were talking about. I started getting quite excited when we started discussing typical things that happen in a sunday league, like a mum bringing lunch to her son and maybe some friends, embarrassing him. Also that hot mum that everyone loves or the fat referee that can't even cope with the pace of the match. It was a good idea and I thought it would be fun to produce something like that. After a couple of talks we decided to start working during the summer to get some work done and be a little bit ahead from the other groups when we were to start our third year, because we also have to deal with our dissertation which is going to take some time from us.
As for our style of working, we decided to be unique and different. According to the brief we are meant to be getting some people to help out and get a project together while each of us was to focus on a role, but in our case with Tekkers TV going on, we decided to work more as a team than individuals helping each other. We have always worked great like that and we thought why should we stop. I know that there is a lot of work that needs to be done, but it helps a lot to get some input form someone else when you are doing something, as they could give you some good ideas that could end up helping with the output of your work. We believe this is gonna be a good year with a great project coming ahead of us and I am very excited about it.
