CV problems
The problems i had with my CV was we went out to film and the camera stopped working, then when we uploaded the footage we filmed then when i went back to edit some of the footage didn't copy over so i had to work with limited clips.
Three job adverts and reasons why i would like to have them
This job i found on Mandy.com, Its for a radio producer in Salford, Work includes knowledge of the radio industry, Knowing how to use the sound mix and knowing the rules about live radio. I would like to do this job because i done this job in the past and complicated course about the rules and safety on radio. Its a fun and upbeat atmosphere where you can cover things from news, top charts, local or world wide events and up coming celeb news.
This job is an unpaid job which is working on all types of media but only for a short about of time and its to get your name of in the media world. I like the idea of this job because its just a quick job to get your name out there, show off your skills and even improve them.
This job is a part time job that is about being part of a group of writer to come together to write a feature film. I like this because it makes me think of writing my single camera drama and the amount of times you can change the basic outline of the original idea. Also i like thinking of a story, writing and planning it then seeing it come to life to share with everyone.

Soundtrack sheet 2
When working on a sound track you would sit down with the director and main production crew, such as the editor.
You would met up with the director before they finish filming so they can get across what atmosphere they want the audience to be placed in and how they want, in sound terms, to focus on. Also you would the director for spotting which is when you talking about each shot and make notes ready for lock cut. Other people you will have to talk to would be the editor or editors and sound recorders, When the editor has picture locked the film, which means all the filming is done and now it cant be changed, to probably look over the final footage and think about how the sound would be with the images. Meeting with the sound recorders would to be productive and playing around with sound to give away to get across the sound effects you and the director are going for.
For my single camera drama I wanted sounds such as the heavy door in the office scene is closing, I wanted is because it was an old wooden door and its closed before the gun shot. On location I recorded the scene with the actor saying dialogue then closing the door behind him, I then went back and just recorded the sound of the door being closed as hard as possible, to get a more natural sound.
I also needed some 'natural' sound such as the weather, like the wind also birds and church bell's playing in the background. For the natural sound I recorded the outside locations with the actors, then went back and just recorded the location without anyone there, I also added in ADR and SFX sound of the weather and birds. A problem with this was because I went back and record the location alone the dialogue was hard to pick up so in the editing process I had the actors come back and record their dialogue in a studio.
Locations
Church - when recording it had a lot of echo so when the character was walking into the church and up to the window the foot steps were a lot louder than normal, with this I had to fix it in editing, also in the office scene because it was a back department in the church it was again very echoy so I had to get close with shots and microphone. For sound effects I used a sound effect website which with copyright laws are free to use. It was freesound.org this has a number of versions of sounds so I had a lot to pick from and in final cut I could change the ditch in case it wasn't what I was looking for but close enough. With the audio recording on the day I used road stereomic for the DSR sound camera's.
The only problem with filming and recording the sound on location was the church is open to the public so we had groups of people in the background rather walking in shot or talking which from time to time came out louder due to the microphone being closer to them than the actors where. I knew in my film I didn't want to use any licensed music like a single so I didn't have to worry about copyright law however when it came to looking for sites or ways to record sound effects like a gun shot or a clock I looked for a copyright law site that allows the public to put up sound files of lots of different things that came be used in projects as long as you say where you got the sound from.

Bury Your Sins
When the task of written, filming and editing our own single camera film at first there trying to fit the film I wanted to write in the genre but not stereotype the genre or just follow the basic guidelines of it. When it come to doing pre-production paper work and planning what type of look I was going for and how I can get that across to the audience with the shots I chose. One problem I had with the whole filming process was I had an actor who called up on the day of filming, while I was setting up and cancelled so I had to cut parts of the script out and change the scenes that actor would have been in. The editing process took three to four days but that was mostly due to sound and the sound quality. In the scene where priest Alexandra talking to Giovanni Potere outside, the audio just picked up the sound from the landscape, in this case it picked up cars, that were going past, some birds and the wind from time to time so I had to have the actors come back in the editing process and record their dialogue to dub over the image. If I had to redo things it would to have a backup in case an actor doesn't show up and having to cut out scenes from the script. Another thing I would make sure I covered would be checking and watching back the scenes more to see if the shots came out how I planned. Also checking if the audio is at a good standard for editing. I would change the grave opening scene because it was harder to get across who was the main character and I feel in the scene there was a lot of empty space, this is seen on the office scene, when Frankco is talking I would have liked to go back and move the camera a little bit so the candle is more to the left and the character is more in the centre of the shot.
