Getting filler shot footage

Recently we have been accumilating footage that we could use as filler shots while the reporter is speaking in our main news package. We feel that it is important to have a selection of these shots to choose from.

Some of the shots we have have

5 minutes of a (Rock Challenge) dance rehearsal
2 minutes still long shot of Oxford Street

Voice Over re-recorded

The word theatre means a “place for seeing,” it originated in Ancient Greece some 5000 years back. But theatre is more than just a building where plays are performed.  Since its birth, theatre has taken many forms that involve dance, gestures, and pantomime combined with various other performing arts to portray a single artistic form.

The beginning of the twentieth century saw the introduction of a new component – the cinema. It was so popular that new or refurbished theatres often included provision for screening films.  But In 1976, the Theatres Trust Act was passed. It was a way  to protect theatres and theatre use. And in 1994, with the creation of the National Lottery.  funding for the Arts has helped in educating and influencing the new generation on theatre and its importance to London’s culture as we now see live performances not only on the stage but all around us.

Due to some successes that Hollywood brings to the silver screen, a varity of convertions have taken over the entertainment industry. For instance, classic stage productions have become films - Les Miserables starting with a budget of $61 million the film managed to gross almost $400 million worldwide.

War Horse expirenced a similar approach with its successful box office. Recieving a gross of almost $200 million with a budget of $66 million. all in all showing us that cinema is not dead and is not all about action packed dramas, or the magic of 3D but rather the appreciation of art in the cinema.

On the flip side successful films have taken to the stage converting into funfilled musicals such as shrek gaining positive reviews from critics. Leading on to its producers announcing their plans to tour Shrek across the UK in 2014.

Professional voice over

To gain a better understanding of how the theatre has transformed london's culture and the intertainment industry we asked the director of on of london's well established drama schools  LAMDA Academy, Mr Martin.

Over recent years, cinema ticket prices have risen, being a pound more expensive than in 2000, not including modern technological formats such as the IMAX or 3D technology. Whilst theatre price tickets are at an average of £47, reaching its highest attendance ever during the summer of 3.8 million theatre goers
In order to see if the theatre has truly had an effect on the minds of many or whether they are still intreged by cinema we asked the genreal public.
