Mark Coote 6

My personal favourite of the series shows Mark investigating the threat to St Stephens Sports & Social Club.

The interior lighting of St Steven's was less than ideal for shooting in, despite using a camera-mounted lamp, but I managed to brighten up shots using the 'Top Gear' effect, as illustrated in Jude Cotter's tutorial. I've actually used this effect a lot over the last year-or-so, as it gives a similar effect to a vignette, whilst providing more control and variables.

Coming back to the embedded film, it was edited by myself. The majority of the sound was also recorded by myself with a boom-mic.

Mark Coote 2

After the initial success of my first programme, local Conservative candidate MP, Mark Coote commissioned Blue Sky to do a further six for him. They'll be posted up on his website once a week, in the lead-up to the local election.



For this first episode, we visited Pate's Grammar School in Cheltenham, where Mark used to attend, and catch up with one of his ex-teachers.
