Interviewee Questions- Preparation of answers

in order to script this-

Section 1 Auto-tune-

Opinion of auto-tune

Why Steve/Tyriq uses auto-tune, examples of their

work this has been used on

Has auto-tune had a Positive or Negative effect on

the music industry?

Has this effected youth talent, is this positive or

negative?

Section 2 Talent Shows-

Opinion of talent shows

Are they rigged? , use of auto-tune during these

shows (produces fake talent?)

Have talent shows had a positive or a negative

effect on the industry?

Are these shows more about the prize (money) or

producing talent (passion?)

 PRE- PRODUCTION BOOKLET-

Steve Brian Interviewee answers-

Section 1 Auto-tune-
Opinion of auto-tune

Have you every used auto-tune in your Underdogs music, if so why? (give
examples please if so)

During the recording of our first album, Black, there were several occasions
where some of the vocals were shakey. Our producer suggested using
autotuned and showed us what the corrected vocals would sound like. We
decided that we did not like this and instead chose to rerecord the vocals
until the take was good enough.

Has auto-tune had a Positive or Negative effect on the music industry?

If Auto tune is used as an effect It has its place, however using it to fix out of
tune or poor vocals reduces the chance that the individual will be good at
singing and instead focus the performance on looks. This I do not believe is
good for the music industry as 'real' talent will be over looked as it does not
have the look that is desired.

Has auto-tune effected youth musicians in a positive or negative way?

As a musician you often have a more negative view of autotuned, the

problem arises as you don't now need to have a good ear or voice to be
seen as a musician. This belittles the achievement of those with good voices
and real talent so over all I believe will have a negative impact on our youth
musicians.

10 | P a g e
 PRE- PRODUCTION BOOKLET-

Section 2 Talent Shows-

Opinion of talent shows

Do you believe that talent shows are rigged?

I don't think that they are rigged but contestants are chosen not for their
talent but either because they will make good television or that
the people in charge can see a way to sell those individuals to the public.

Have talent shows had a positive or a negative effect on the industry?

My opinion is that talent shows have had a negative impact. A label can
make a lot of money from a single hit from a short-term star who will not have
a long career but instead generate a following over a short period until the
'next' big thing comes along, usually from a following season of a similar
programme. This makes it very hard for musicians who have worked hard to
produce their own music to emerge as most major label are more interested
in the less talented, but easier to earn from artists.

Are these shows more about the prize (money) or producing talent and
having a passion for music?

Often these shows contestants are individuals who are just hungry for fame
rather than artists. There are exceptions to this but you will see people who
have been contestants on multiple TV shows some being talent shows and
other game shows etc. This shows they are looking for fame rather than
credible artist. I don't think the contestants are always looking for prize money
however the talent shows are, in my opinion, looking for cash
cows, individuals who will make a quick buck for them.

Script – Money over Passion Narrator script

Ben Ratcliffe (Narrator)

Music…. has been around for as long as we can remember and has
remained for people a source of enjoyment, passion and a way
of expressing yourselves. There are many different genres and
sub genres of music that define person’s personality and where
they come from. In this documentary we will be exploring how
music has changed over time and a variety of aspects that may
have influenced this will include auto-tune and talent shows
such X- Factor, to gain the ultimate answer of is music now
about money rather than passion now
Section 1 – Auto-tune

Ben Ratcliffe (Narrator)

Created by Andy Hildebrand auto tune save us from our

mistakes, this was created in 1995 when Hildebrand used the
algorithm used by oil companies to find drill sites through
the use of seismic waves, this was then tweaked in 1996 of
which auto-tune software was born. The first example of its
use was in 1998 originally thought to be Cher’s believe when
in fact it was actually 2 Pac’s California Love, which were
nationally admired songs.

As of 2019 auto has rapidly increased as a hugely popular tool

within the music industry, making music genres such as pop and
rap, this gives the opportunity for anyone to use this tool
whether their good or not to manipulate their voice to sound
good. The heavily effected pitch of auto-tuned vocals in pop
music has led to much controversy among musicians and
listeners. Singing, what was once a skill could be done by
pretty much anyone now, on the other hand this has used not to
change the overall sound of singer’s voice but to fix their
pitch, but overall the argument of the use of auto-tune is
still a taboo

Many artists argue that auto-tune removed all the skill from
singing as well as destroying the minute inaccuracies that
were the soul of many songs. The slight inaccuracies that made
us so human in music have now gone. This is now considered an
essential tool to create a song, in order to get famous as
this is widely used by singers in mainstream music, but mainly
in the hip-hop rap genre. This is both admired and hated by

12 | P a g e
 PRE- PRODUCTION BOOKLET-
many artists. As big artists such as Travis Scott, Migos and
Future support the sound as they use this frequently and feel
this is a new movement and more of as form of art rather than
music. Whereas old school rappers such as Jay- Z have openly
spoke about its use in the song D.O.A, death of auto-tune
where he publicly blasted musician’s on its use.

Tyriq’s Interview-

The first person we are going to be interviewing is my friend

and small-time local rapper Tyke-tk or Tyriq Hamilton. He
records and produces his music from phone in his room and
uploads it to sound cloud where he has gained a following from
people around maidenhead, cook ham, Henley and reading. He
both raps and sings in his music blending the two together and
has had people make beats then send it to him so that all his
music is original for him to release. The genre of his music
is rap and although he has not used auto tune, yet he plans on
doing it in the future.

Section 2- Talent Shows

Ben Ratcliffe (Narrator)

Modern talent shows have played a big part in both Television

and furthermore the music industry as this has been used as an
export method of producing musical talent such as One
Direction, Little Mix, and Ollie Murs but this isn’t
necessarily a positive as this is often governed by the law
and aren’t true talent shows, and although these are not
rigged, they can do a large amount to effect this overall
outcome.

Contestants who previously taken part have often complained

that it’s been hard to adjust to back to a normal everyday
life as after taking part as there’s nothing to set up to help
that allows them to make this change in a way. This is because
they are no longer surrounded by camera’s and press attention
forcing this change to be unhealthy and furthermore this not
being beneficial for their mental health.

Overall talent shows haven been proven to be un-successful due

to artists not being able to have full control over their
music and this makes them feel under pressure as the judges
are presented as god like figures who can crush or create a
contestants dream through a push of a button. Simon Cowell has
made a fortune from the talent show business, with an

13 | P a g e
 PRE- PRODUCTION BOOKLET-
estimated fortune of £225 million. The producers can change
the song last minute leaving the participant with a strong of
anxiety and this have an enormous effect on their life
changing performance. "Why are they so popular?

Ben Ratcliffe (Narrator)

Looking at the current charts today and the music rich list
and what you would see would partially damage you're eyesight.
It is dominated by pop stars who lack talent but what they
lack in talent they make up in appearance. This is how
mainstream music has become, the image dictates financial
success.

Lighting Specialist- Ben’s role as lighting

specialist will be very beneficial for how
our production looks visually, as the
lighting will alter the exposure within the
shot, reduce shadows and furthermore
alter Steve’s/ Tyriq’s complexion as it will
bring out their natural skin tone more
allowing a much clearer/high quality
video. Ben will have this role during both
Tyriq’s and Steve’s interview and the
challenge will differentiate determined
on how big the room is ,where the light is
coming from and finally how many
access points this light has. Ben will have
to be patient during this role and

Nikon A camera which differentiates from the Canon due to Ben Ratcliffe Date: 29th
this being a different brand, this camera unfortunately April– 5 May
does not have as high specs as the Canon camera but it
does film in 1080p allowing us to gain the same quality

although this may need to be edited in a different editing
file as premier pro reacts with different footage in
multiple ways, this will be used to gain different angles of
the interviewee’s in order to switch between these
sensibly within our production to ensure we keep our
audience’s attention. This solid black Nikon camera is
heavier than the Canon but will still heavily benefit our
documentary’s creativity.

so they can be charge much like an eternal battery pack
so that this equipment can be used wirelessly. This can
also be plugged in at the mains to ensure this does not
run out of power at the wrong time as this would cause us
to have too re-record the scene which would put us
behind schedule and potentially this could irritate the
interviewee as they have taken time out of their
productive hours to do this production for us they may
understand this mishap but at the end of the day it’s our

enclosed so the sound quality will be good
as it won’t escape as sound would be lost if
this was the case. Due to this room being
enclosed means also that the sound may be
enhanced making our camera microphones
more sensitive to sound.

Solutions:
Because Ben is the lighting
specialist he will have to ensure
that these lights are effective for
our production or whether the led
lights are going to be more
effective on their own or with
these internal; lights. These
planned out led lights are going to
be well balanced in terms of
where these are positioned and
furthermore how bright/dark they
are, as this will affect how the
subject appears on camera to the
viewer as well as how easy this is to
edit in Premier pro as this needs to
be between under exposed and
over exposed as this needs to be
balanced to ideally prevent
shadows from us and the
interviewees. Type of room/area: A solid Black room which is a Music

Power Information:
Due to this being a music studio there are
many wires from music equipment which
indicates that there is going to be many
power sockets, which we may be able to use
for equipment such as lights, an issue with this
is that it they may be in use.
Hazards:
As this is a music studio there will be many
loose wires leading to music equipment such
as amp’s, guitars and microphones, this is a
tripping hazard for us as a crew and
furthermore a potential hazard for our
equipment.
32 | P a g e
Solutions:
Beforehand we will communicate
to Steve that we might need a
power supply, if this is a possibility
we will be fine, if not then we will
have to ensure that lights are
charged before travelling to the
location in order for us to not need
these power sockets.
Solutions:
Communicate with crew and
furthermore interviewees that
there are wires lying about
therefore be aware of this hazard,
due to this room being black , this
creates a bigger problem as the
wire are the same colour which
means they will blend in my with
the room. We will have to ensure
that as a crew that we are on top
of this and aware at all times of
our surroundings, this is our
responsibility as a crew and not
our interviewees, so we will have
to be strategic about this to
ensure that our production is to a
high standard.

Steve Brian- 2ndnd Conversation

This message which was sent on WhatsApp shows me contacting Steve Brian (Drummer and
part time vocalist for Underdog). Here I have asked him politely and professionally if I could
get his email as this will allow me to be more formal, as the style of message is much
different. I have communicated with him the time we will be arriving, to allow him to
prepare beforehand, this does mean we will have to be punctual with our arrival in order to
communicate professionalism. I have also communicated here that if he has any concerns
or questions to ask me as this conveys consideration of our actors and furthermore
developing their understanding of what is happening on Friday 26th April 2019. Steve right
away replied with “Will you need me for the whole time or will I be able to continue working
while you set up etc”. I which then communicated that he would have free time such as
when we set up and take equipment down, furthermore we can take regular breaks or may
even finish earlier as we have just communicated more time than needed to ensure that we
have more footage than needed and any potential problems that may arise can be
resolved without stress.

in this interview head. This may cause the work flow to be scheduled breaks and furthermore offer this if they have a feeling of
setting disrupted and furthermore this effects our anxiety. We can also ask Tyriq/Steve if they have any questions about the
production schedule. production or the set up around them and finally we can ask them if they
need anything such as food or water.

Equipment-
Problem- Why this is an issue-
Camera breaks This would be a huge issue that may harm our
productions deadline, because if this breaks and
filming is not complete, we are a camera down and
this limits our creativity, which has a significant effect
on our final grade as we would have limited shots and
angles, the amount of footage would also be limited if
the SD broke with the camera, which would result with
us loosing footage and being put behind schedule
which would harm our final grade.
Camera runs
out of battery This would be a problem because if our camera
batteries run out without back-ups we won’t be able to
resume filming which will harm our time management
as this will put us behind schedule and will mean we
will have to re-schedule and film another day
furthermore this could be in an important scene e.g.
interview which is even more difficult to re-schedule as
this effects our interviewees as well as us as a crew as
they have taken time out of their prime productivity
hours to help us.
Can’t gain a
spare tripod This may cause footage to be shaky/distorted which is
especially not wanted during our interviews as our
choice of style (expository) conveys visually clean,
crisp and balanced shots.
46 | P a g e
How to Solve this-
Make sure after each day that all footage is exported off SD
into a suitable folder on to my external hard drive and
furthermore make sure to have backups of this footage on
my computer as a backup for the backup (in case hard
drive gets damaged).
Ensure to bring extra batteries (this has been noted on my
props list) as this will allow me and Ben to carry on filming if
battery runs out and furthermore a battery chargers have
been added to the props list to allow us to switch over
camera batteries if one runs out, this guarantees a healthy
and stress-free work ethic as we know our camera will not
run out any time soon. I will also bring a portable charger,
which will allow us to be able to charge these batteries,
where ever we go as this has a large battery life which will
not need plug sockets to charge.
Contact known individuals within our profession,
photography or others who may have a camera and ask
professionally, considerately and confidently if they may
 PRE- PRODUCTION BOOKLET-
have a tripod that we can maintain for a couple of day to
ensure that our shots are clean and crisp.
