Unit 37 & Unit 13: Task 2





As a group we sat together and decided what topics we'd cover and who would cover what for The Ufilms Oscars Rundown. Myself and Matthew would cover all things fashion and make-up.

Once that was decided we had to come up with a schedule for each piece including, when it would be filmed and when it would actually go up online.

 

We had planned to film as much as possible on the Monday and Tuesday pre-Oscar week so that we didn't run out of time to edit and schedule our videos. We had planned to film on

Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st:

Rhys and Adam - The History of the Oscars                                         

Jess - The Politics of the Oscars

Chloe and Jordan - The Iconic Moments/Facts of the Oscars

Taylor and Ben - The Music of the Oscars

Danniella and Matthew - The Fashion of the Oscars

Thursday 23rd:

Kane and Matty - The Predictions for the Oscars

(However due to changes in partners and people being absent we had to switch some scheduling and filming days.) 

We then did the same for post-Oscar week, planning to film as much as possible at the beginning of the week

Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th:

Matty and Kane - The Winners of the Oscars

Jess - The Politics at the Oscars

Danniella and Matthew - The Fashion at the Oscars

Taylor and Ben - The Music at the Oscars

Rhys and Adam - The After Party of the Oscars

Chloe and Jordan - The Highlights of the Oscars

(However due to changes in partners and people being absent we had to switch some scheduling and filming days.) 

Once we had decided who was doing what myself and Matthew got together to brainstorm some ideas of what we could cover. The top half of the mind map is pre-Oscars and the bottom is post-Oscars.

Pre-Oscars:

Some ideas to speak about were previous attendees who wore outrageous clothing, this years nominees and their style evolutions, latest trends we think we'll see on the carpet and have a make-up tutorial.

Post-Oscars:

We thought of talking about our best/worst dressed, any outrageous styles, reoccurring trends and what the nominees and winners wore.

The Fashion of the Oscars | The Ufilms Oscars Rundown Proposal

Premise

A fun talk show segment discussing current nominees previous outfits as well as a make-up tutorial to get people red carpet ready. 

Overview of Content

Introduction- Myself and Matthew are sat on a sofa each, opposite each other, we greet the audience, introducing ourselves and explaining the continuation of our UFilms Oscars Rundown series.

Nominees Style - The first segment of our show will be covering our personal favourite outfits worn by current nominees from their previous Academy Awards visits. We will be speaking about what we like and dislike about particular iconic outfits worn in the past and discuss and share opinions on each other's picks.

Best and Worst Dressed Males - The next segment will show our favourite and worst outfits worn by men at previous Academy Awards, hopefully with a few humorous undertones to keep our segment light and chatty.

Best Dressed Couples - Our last segment will show our favourite, iconic couples at previous Academy Awards, and looking at what they might wear to the Oscars next.

Ending - Our final segment will be us closing the show, thanking the viewing audience for watching. We will inform them of the coming shows and let the views know to stay tuned to our YouTube channel for more content.

Aim



To entertain and inform the viewing public about the make-up, clothes, hair and accessories worn by the stars at the Academy Awards.

Length

The total duration of the piece will be ten minutes; this will be enough time to incorporate all content mentioned above.

Location

All of our filming will be taking place in the studio, we will however be using a variety of different props in order to change the overall look of our piece.
This will include:

Make-Up Studio Chairs 

Mannequins

Blue/Yellow Fabrics

Orange/Black Cushions

 

Matthew and I planned how we would want our set to look when we were filming through looking at how the green room was set out and what we had available. We then used a camera/floor plan to see if it was suitable, what equipment we would need etc. and to pin point any issues we may have. We also wanted to make sure we had the correct cameras on each of us at the right time for our reactions and speaking to camera during our piece.

Camera A is positioned in the centre of the set, capturing a master-shot of both presenters which we will both look at when addressing the audience.
Camera B is 'Matthew's Camera', this will be the camera he primarily looks at when he is speaking to me, it is positioned near me in order to give a more organic and real feel to our movement rather than making any content addressed to the camera looking forced.
Camera C is 'Danniella's Camera', this will be the camera I primarily look at when I am speaking to Matthew, it is positioned near him for the same reasons listed above.
 Lights:
Light 1 is positioned to the left of the set, this light will primarily be lighting the host sat to the left.
Light 2 is positioned to the right of the set, this light will be lighting the host sat to the right.

Matthew then covered health and safety, running it by me to make sure I agreed. As we needed so many lights to make our set look studio based there would be a lot of wires that could prove a tripping hazard.
