After my studio day with My Video Express, I was now in the know of how they ran the filming. I was also told that I would be a camera operator so had the camera dropped off at my house to learn how to use. I attended a pre-production meeting with a client about 10 videos he wanted making for his company 3fifteen, these were a mix of promotional and instructional videos. We went through the scripts and decided what imagry would be used for each part of the video. There was going to be animations used throughout so we had to then send this off to the animator.
On the day of filming, I was the lead camera operator and set up the camera, lights and greenscreen. The presenter and client arrived and then filming was underway. It all went smoothly. I then edited the videos using cromakey on the backgrounds and had guidance from My Video Express because it was a brand new style of editing for me. These videos then went through client changes before approval.

I worked with Cancer Research UK as their official photographer for the fundraising event in Milton Keynes, Get on your bike. This is where members of the public pay a small joining fee and also get sponsers to complete a group bike ride. There such a range of ages and people there taking part in this which was good to see. It was Carol the organisers last year because she had managed to raise £100,000 for Cancer Research UK. An amazing amount! As the photographer, it was my job to capture the atmosphere of the event. It is a family event and many people are excited to be there taking part. The mayor of Milton Keynes was there showing support and there were activities such as a bouncy castle and facepainting there to raise further money. Everyone did very well on the bike ride and it was a really good atmosphere. It was uncertain if the event would carry on with Carol no longer leading it, but thankfully some riders from the day stepped up and are now heading the event.

I was recently contacted by a media company called My Video Express. I was asked if I was interested in doing editing work with them. I met up with the owner and discussed his needs and what role I would have in the upcoming projects. They mainly work with greenscreens and presenters to make corporate videos for companies. I was told about a few upcoming projects they would like me to work on and about a studio day they wanted me to attend to see how their filming process works.
