Documentaries and Television

I've been going through TV listings for different channels on the internet such as BBC.
BBC has four televised channels; BBC One, Two, Three and Four. Each one shows different categories of things to watch.

• BBC One: the most watched channel in the UK. This is the BBC's main channel, which shows it's big budget / impact dramas (e.g. Sherlock, Luther), nature documentaries (e.g. Planet Earth, Frozen Planet), and mainstream entertainment (e.g. Doctor Who, Merlin, Strictly Come Dancing, The Voice)
• BBC Two: created to be an alternative to BBC One, showing more highbrow stuff, mainly documentaries (e.g. Horizon), artsy drama (e.g. The Hour, Parade's End), and edgyish comedy (e.g. Mock The Week, Extras, etc.)
• BBC Three: aimed at the youth market (16-30 I think), with appropriate documentaries, comedies and entertainment shows for that audience. I think the BBC also use it as a testing ground for new comedy (e.g. the Mighty Boosh, Gavin and Stacy)
• BBC Four: highbrow arts and archive channel - lots of documentaries, foreign-language imports (e.g. The Killing), archive msic shows, etc.

Visual Arts Exhibition

For our college, Cambridge Center for Sixth-Form Studies, we had to film our Visual Arts Exhibtion 2013. They were great pieces on show from our students, parents as well as teachers attended and even food was present.

We used 2 video cameras. One we placed inside one of our school buildings in one of the rooms at the top to film people walking in and out of the exhibtion. The other we placed inside where the exhibtion was taking place, this one was filming people observing the artwok and other pieces on show. Before the event as well as during the event we interview various peopleparents, students and teachers etc.
