I spent Saturday filming a local homeless charity's fundraising day; unfortunately, the news angle that I had wanted just turned out to not exist (funding was no longer an issue) and so it couldn't really be used as a news package.
Instead, I went to court on Tuesday and came away with a court report about a man who had fraudulently gotten some heroin from a number of pharmacies around Hampshire. I was quite happy about that, but I was concerned about the script and if I could make it simple enough to explain to an audience. My script was initially pretty poor, but my lecturer went through it with me and changed a lot of it - cutting away the fat and making sure my top line included the who, what and where, which I'd failed to do on my first go. It's strange how you can forget to do what you think might be quite an obvious thing, but it goes to show how much practice you need to put in.
What I felt the most proud of this week was definitely not my PTC, which was, in line with last year, quite poor. It was my reconstruction which was only a couple of seconds of someone filling out a prescription form, but it made the world of difference and split up the monotony of the PTC. To do this, I prepared the night before and spent time tracking down and printing my own props for it. I feel like it worked nicely and I just wonder why I never did a reconstruction last year, as it makes editing much easier.
