Britain in a Day - LJMU Playlist goes LIVE

The LJMU Britain in a Day playlist has now gone live on the site! Check out our selection for the playlist here.

To see what our involvement with Britain in a Day was all about, see the blog post from the time.

TV Studio - Recording

We've now had a shot at recording live in the TV studio! For our first group recording session we had to film a short piece for a children's TV show demonstrating how to make a paper aeroplane.

It was interesting to find that, once we got into doing our rehearsal, the whole camera script pretty much went straight out the window - but that's what happens in a professional studio sometimes.

For our time in the TV studio I will be acting as the Floor Manager and will also be operating a camera for parts of the shoot.

The first recording went down really well so that's given us all confidence for the big project and now it's time to crack on with the work for the real thing now we've had our practise run!



Image Composition

For the first assignment of year 2 in the module Beyond the Camera, we had to create an image composition using Photoshop.

I took my inspiration from the Liverpool Biennial art installation in Keys Court, Oded Hirsch's 'The Unexpected Guest'. Using a photo of this piece of artwork as the main feature of my composition, I wanted it to look as if someone had been in the lift when it had crashed through the floor.

I used 3 different photos in order to create my composition.

Cutting out the lift doors from my main photo I was able to layer this with the other 2 photos in order to create a realistic composition.
