Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

As the new year begins it’s swing, we have been revising our attitudes to the project. Last year it seemed we let things get on top of us and lost sight of the creative aspects of the production. Some of us were somewhat underwhelmed with our progress and with the ‘draft’ we handed in to be marked and knew we could do so much better in terms of creative shots, making tension in the sequences and making it all-round good telly! One thing that we really missed the boat on ironically was that our programme about identity crisis’ for youth in the 70’s had no strong identity!! And this is something which we now have the chance to change. After a christmas vacation full of reflection we have come back together and made some goals which we hope will keep us on track as the pressure mounts in our final term here at the University of Lincoln.

The Goals

– To have more camera movement and imaginative shots.

– Have better paperwork organisation, sooner rather than later.

– To be more positive and ambitious.

– Improve our technical skills.

– Build better working relationships amongst ourselves.

– To give and receive constructive criticism gracefully.

– Be more prepared.

– And to make something that we are proud to include in our personal showreels.

Hey! Ho! Let’s Go!

As part of our final year media project, we are mid-way through creating a television programme to demonstrate our capabilities in the television industry. Our programme entitled Ever Fallen In Love is a period featurette made for TV set in 1977 about one girl’s identity crisis amid the punk era. We will be updating you on the in’s and out’s of the working machine that is Nerve Productions (us) and our progress during the conception, filming and post-production of Ever Fallen In Love.

 

Synopsis
