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.

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.

I've been working on making a short film about the future of the old Gloucester College building, along with helping provide work experience for students of the existing college.

The old site is set to be demolished to make room for a new housing estate. The film provides an insight into the opinions of local residents, students and architects, regarding the development of the historical city.
