Production meeting 4
this week was the final week as it was the live day on Thursday. I had to make sure that everyone was sure on what they had to do and when they had to do it. I had to finish off the final master camera scrips which everyone would use to keep in sync. We had to set up the set which I had to help with as I knew what I wanted it to look like and I also had to get the key to the storage room for props on the show. I then printed out the scripts for everyone so they could see wheat had to be done. For the presenters, I printed out just the dialog for them as it would be easier to refer to on the day in case they got a bit stuck. The day of the the actual production was a bit messy at the beginning as we had to set up and go though what we had to do. The directions I was giving wasn't that clear as it was something I have never done before. Yet as we got towards the final recording, in was 10 times better. Everyone seemed to be in sync a lot more and I was giving the dorections firmly to when and how I wanted them. With out this confidence towards the end, the whole production wouldn't have worked. Overall, towards the end of the production, people started to work together a lot better than intoxicated. This is the reason to why we done so well and to why we would all get grades that we were predicted to get.

Production meeting 3
This week I had helped with the making of the script. I had to make sure that the presenters knew what to say and how long to say it for. I also had to make sure that jack had done his job of doing the pre records which would then later on be set up on the day of the production. I had also created the beginning to the camera script on excell. This had to be done ASAP as we are behind quite. A lot and no one could do their job unless I had done this, so I completed my part. I need to develop on my guests on who to bring in as some people have become unreliable but I can quickly change this as some people have volunteered to do this part for me. Next week I hope to go over with everyone else to see if they are up to pace with what they need to do and if not, I will help them as much as I can. We would also need to make sure that everything is done by Wednesday so we can do a run through before Thursday as that is the final day to perform. This week I helped Aisha with contact numbers etc for the guests and with the two presenters as well as jack. I needed to make sure that they knew what they had to do and when to have it by.

Risk assessment of gallery
This is a risk assessment of the gallery where all the electronic appliances are held. There are screens so you can see what is happening on the set without having to stand directly there. The whole production is controlled by this room and there are risks that have to be taken as a precaution to make the overall production run smoothly with no interference's or problems on the day.
Running order
This is the final list of the running order. It has colour codes to show whether it is live footage or pre recorded. The people who are involved are in bold so we know who has to be ready for that particular part. The time slots are underlined so the VT operator will know when to get each video or camera set up for the next part to make it run smoothly as possible.

Production log 2
This week I had to give my presentation to the class. This was so they could get my ideas for the show and then decide whether they like any of my ideas and could possible interpret to the overall idea. I took them step by step from what my ideas were to consider into the show and what time slots and order they had to be in. After I gave my presentation, we all had to vote for our favourite ideas. We also had to note down what music videos we would like to consider using for the show. As Monique hadn't been in for a while, I was then assigned to be the director. I wasn't too happy about it as I've never done something like it and I knew it would be pushing my limits. I had also been voted for to used my show idea so I had to go away and set a new oresentstion and give it back toe class. I was also given a few other ideas to try and put into the overall show. Once the director role had been assigned to me, I had to then make a time schedule which would include all of the music videos, interviews, breaks etc into the show. Whilst I was doing that, I had to also go round and make sure that everyone had been doing what they were suppose to to my liking e.g Omar and the logo and jack with the recording. At the end of the week I had to then give another presentation to the class on the final time schedule of the overall show and how it would all fit.
Production log 1
This week we were all allocated our personal jobs to be ready for the live day. I was assigned the set designer as I am familiar with 3D designing thriugh other subjects and I have a creative mind which would help increase the aesthetics of the overall set. This is where I would be able to express my skills and possible get a high mark overall as I would be able to do something I enjoy and be good at it. We then had to make ideas for the show and how it would be run. All of these ideas had to be based upon a magazine show so there would be music, quizzes and even interviews. This is so that it fits in with the gender and we Would be able to use the music videos we created previously into the show. At the end of our planning for this, we would have to give a presentation to the rest of the group in a meeting type of way. This was to get our ideas across to the others and we would be able to decide which was the best idea to use and whether we should use other aspects from other people's ideas. A few people gave out their ideas during the lesson and we had decided that the best idea so far was from Zahir. This was because of the ideas he interpreted into his overall idea and the way he set out the show worked really well. I wasn't able to do my presentation this week as there wasn't enough time but I was able to take the people who done their ideas into consideration and try and make it better for when it came to my turn to give my presentation.

TV show idea
Programme Format
The overall programme would last around 30 minutes including adverts which would take up around 2-3 minuets. The show would be shown on a TV channel called E4. This show would have to be a landmark to this channel as it would have to have a continuous slot every week and have high views each time. It would be aimed towards 14-20 years old so the time slot that would fit best is between 6 pm and 11 pm. Its content would be aimed for the British public so the imagery would have to be relatable such as British music videos or whats popular in British gossip. The show would be a Magazine sow which would include
Title "Face of Music"
The reason I chose this title was because it stands out to the audience and it would be a known logo if it was seen around. The whole title itself is about the 'face of music'. This means that the music generation changes constantly and it would promote the latest music which is popular at that certain moment. It has a direct relation to what the show is about and the colours and font of it makes it stand out dramatically. It has a young urban look to it so it is something that the age range would happily take notice of as it isn't too childish or too complex looking. This is part of a logo that would represent the tv show. Face of Music is about variety and this logo would symbolize the variation there is to music.
Throughout the show there must be content that would satisfy the viewer. This means that the show has to be energized all the way through with different activities going on to make sure it isn't repetitive. There would be the usual music videos shown and interview, but there would also be a 'Hot or Not' section that will be related to fashion. This can be towards artists fashion and whether the presenter and/or audience would wear that fashion statement also. This is good content that would interact the audience into the show which would make them feel part so they have a say in it. Instead of just a normal interview, there would be a question section where the public can tweet into the show to ask the guest personal questions. These can be from what colour socks are they wearing today to what made them want to become what they are today. This would keep the interview interesting as some questions are laid back and comedy filled to get a positive reaction out to the audience. Having a competition in the show would also be another way to interpret the audience into the show. The competition would allow the audience to win things such as tickets to a show or gadgets. The competition that i would involve would be 'The Missing Lyric' where the participant would have to tell us what the missing lyric was. BUT! there is a twist. Whilst the participant has to figure out what the missing lyric is...... They would have to do something productive such as bouncing on a trampoline whilst having to catch a ball. This means that they would have to multitask which makes it a bit harder as they are concentrating on more than one thing as the same time.
Running Order
The running order would be paced so there are introductions to the show, events in the programme and guests that may be featured on the show. There would be two sections of the show which would be separated by adverts lasting up to two minutes.
Section 1
The overall programme would last around 30 minutes including adverts which would take up around 2-3 minuets. The show would be shown on a TV channel called E4. This show would have to be a landmark to this channel as it would have to have a continuous slot every week and have high views each time. It would be aimed towards 14-20 years old so the time slot that would fit best is between 6 pm and 11 pm. Its content would be aimed for the British public so the imagery would have to be relatable such as British music videos or whats popular in British gossip. The show would be a Magazine sow which would include
- Reviews
- Interviews
- Competitions
- Music Videos
- Guests
- Audience Interaction
Title "Face of Music"

Content ideas

Running Order
The running order would be paced so there are introductions to the show, events in the programme and guests that may be featured on the show. There would be two sections of the show which would be separated by adverts lasting up to two minutes.
Section 1
- 20 second song intro - This would be the introducing song which would be a jingle that everyone would know by the end of the show. If they were to hear it again, they would know that this show is about to come on.
- 30 second presenter introduction - This is the introduction to the whole show. It would be telling the audience what would be on in that particular show and what features there are going to be. They would also pick out and audience interactions such as quiz's and questions to ask guests.
- 3 minute 30 second No.1 music video with intro - This would be an introduction to the number one song of the week and the artist who performed it. Once the intro has been done, the video would be shown wide screen to the audience.
- 10 second Introduce guest - Once the music video has been played, there would be an introduction to the quest who would be on that particular show.
- 2 minute Interview - The presenter/s would then ask a few questions to the guest about their music video. These would be questions based on the music video such as "What inspired them" or " What got you into the music industry".
- 4 minute Question Tweets - Once the presenter has had the interview with the guest, There would be a few tweeted questions that would be asked to the guest. This would be a way of getting the audience to interact with the show to get them more interested.
Section 2
- 10 second Introduction - This would be a brief introduction to the second part of the show to get back the audiences attention.
- 2 minute 10 second What am I - This would be a game played between the presenter/s and the guest Just to get things livened up again. It would be a yes or no question based game which would definitely get the audiences attention.
- 20 second Outro - This is where the presenter/s would sign off the guest from the show by thanking them for coming and wishing them luck etc. There may also be a brief commentary of when the guest is next performing or when their next song would be out.
- 4 minute 20 second Hot or Not - This section is between the presenter/s to show the audience what the latest fashion if of the week. They would also be giving their opinion on whether they think it's hot or not which would relate to the audience as it is promoting new fashion trends.
- 3 minute 30 second Intro and Music video - This would be a brief introduction of a new music video which has just been released and would also preview it to the audience. Once the music video has been played the presenter/s may give their opinion about it and how they may relate to it.
- 4 minute 10 second Competition - Once the presenter/s have given their opinion on the music video, they would advertise a competition which has taken place to enable people to win tickets to the artists next performance. This competition would be "The missing lyric" where the participant would have to guess a missing lyric but whilst doing something productive to make them multitask.
- 2 minute Winners - Once the footage has been shown of the competition in action, the presenter/s would then announce the winners. This could be via a phone call or just announcing it to the camera.
- 30 second Outro - This would be the final part to the show where the presenter/s would then cut off the show by saying well done to the winners and maybe give a brief of what would be on next week.
- 20 second Credits - This would be the credits of the show where you would see all of the people who have taken part from the presenter/s to the camera man. This would also have the jingle playing over it so the audience would remember it.
Visual/Presentation Style
The camera angles would mainly be focused during the interviews as you would be able to get a clear image of the persons reactions to the speech. Whilst questions are being asked there would be a mid shot so you can get body language whilst still being focused on the people. For the extra sections such as 'Hot or Not' the angles would be more close up and emphasized so that there would be more atmosphere to portray a better show towards the audience. When it comes to the pre-recorded section which would be from the 'Competition' The camera angles would be varied as it would have to fit the action to what the participant would be doing. The style of the show would be a normal layout as it would be easier to work with for recording. There would be a back drop that can have adjustable lights on it to make it stand out and there would be genuine chairs which the presenter/s and guests would sit on. I would have two presenters as it would make it easier for speech and it would make a more relaxed environment which would look good towards the audience.
This is a rough sketch of what i would like the studio to look like. There would be two long sofas which are at an angle to each other with a table in the middle. This gives the visual look of it a more relaxed and comfortable feel. The back drop would have the name of the show in big bold writing to make a statement of what the show is about. The logo would also be on the back drop to get out to the public a memorable image of the show. around the title, there would be lights to make it stand out more and be more appealing. Props may be added if they are suitable to give it a more busy view which can definitely catch the audiences attention.

Multi-Camera Formats
In this post I will be outlining the various reasons to why different genres use multi-camera. I would be looking for Aesthetics and Practical reasons.
The aesthetics are:
These reasons would be described in detail to why it makes that specific genre and how the multi-camera uses are interpreted to help give it that better feel of the theme.
Aesthetics
This genre is sport and i have chosen show jumping. This is because there is only one focus point which is the horse and rider. The visual style and mode is due to the atmosphere of the show. It is energized through the competitor as they have to focus on getting around as quickly as possible to beat the other peoples times. You can see this clearly by the riders facial expression at 2:32. For this reason, multi-camera has to be used to capture every jump otherwise it would be too fast to catch it on just one. To maintain the viewers interest, there are various camera shots and techniques such as repeats and slow motion. At 4:30 there is an incident where she doesn't quite make the jump then at 5:00 you get to see a repeat of this incident in slow motion so that you can see all the detail in which why she didn't make it. Then at 5:10 you get to see it at a different angle. By slowing the footage down and repeating it means that communication meaning to the audience will happen as the audience are able to see the mistake again which the majority of the audience would like to see to elaborate on what really happened.
Practical
The coverage of action is shown at 3:50 they start with a close up of the rider which turns into a long shot as they take their first jump. It follows round as a long shot to the next jump but then changes to a different angle which is closer so you get a better view of the jump. By doing this, makes it interesting to the viewer as it changes up the scene to make the view better in total. The constraints of the environment is a large area due to the horse. This means that there must be multi-camera to get all different angles on the jumping. The reason to this is due to the points. You get penalty points of it knock off a jump etc so there has to be a lot to catch to footage of it to make it fair to all the other participants. Because each rider is riding for a minute maximum, it has to be simultaneous as they wouldn't be able to go back and do the course exactly the same way they done it before.
Aesthetic
At concerts, the focus point is usual one main artist or at other times, a group of artists. The visual style and mode has to be energized at first to get the audiences attention. Right from the beginning of the video, Ed Sheeran walks on stage 00:02 which gives him the main focal point as it is something to look at instead of going straight into a song. 00:10 He also plugs his amplifier into the guitar which is a source of action which will also get the attention of the audience as they would be intrigued by what he is doing. As he is already the main focus point of the performance, he has already got the full attention of the audience. This also helps as he is the only one on stage. By doing hang movements to the audience, he is cooperating with them. This means that they can get involved with the performance as well as being interested. Some of the lyrics also have a dramatic pause which you can see in the footage. As he pauses, this is showing the tension of a particular part of the song.
Practical
There is various cameras set up around the location so that they can capture different angles of him performing. 1:30 There are also shots of the audiences reaction to give it more of an effect. By having various cameras set up, means that there can be a wider coverage of action. The area is also large as it has to fit a stage as well as a large number of people. 1:32 This is also the reason to why there has to be a multi-camera set up to make sure they capture everything. It is simultaneous as it has to be recorded in the moment straight away as it can be repeated as it is a live event. This means that they have to get it perfect the first time. By having various cameras set up, will allow them to get a wider view of what they can put into the final piece.
Aesthetic Game shows usually have a focus point of one person if it is an individual course such as this example. If it is a group of people, then there are various focus points. 0:13 The visual style is all kept energized in this clip as it is more of a sport course to see how fast someone can complete it. The energized atmosphere means that the audience watching it would get a better understanding to the energy the participant has to put in there them self 3:35 . To maintain the viewers interests, some parts of the footage is repeated in slow motion. This gives the audience a better view on how the participant has taken part in that particular move. Each shot has a communication to the audience as there are close ups of their reactions. This will show the audience the feelings that the participants would be feeling throughout the course.
Aesthetic Talk shows would have one main focus point 1:00 then would often have other focus points as the show progresses. This is due to the guests which usually appear on the show. To keep a good environment throughout the show, the host usually makes the atmosphere relaxed by using a few joke terms against the guests. This catches the audiences attention as it is meant to be funny so it wuold make them want to continue watching. 1:45 To maintain the viewers interest, there wuold be different shot types such as close ups to the individuals but it there is mroe than one person talking, they would go to a wider shot. This mixes up the style to make it more interesting. Sometime the shots would create meaning to the audience as it may go to a close up 2:10 of a main part of the show. By going to a close up means that it is either a serious point or a main part that you would find interesting.
A live event may have various main attractions. This is due to so many things happening at once 00:00 - 00:25. Remembrance day would have a lot of focus points from the marching to the placing of the poppies. This visual style and mode is calm as this even is a major even which is to remember those who have been lost. You cant have an energetic mode as it would defeat the concept of paying respects. To maintain the viewers interest, 2:19 they change the shots around. It may not be often but it does change according to the change in atmosphere during the event. As this even is a serious even, there is a lot of meaning to the viewer not just through the imagery but through the camera shots that are shown 3:10. There are close ups of the queen placing down poppies etc which connects to the audience as it is a main poin of the event.
Aestchetic
This genre is a magazine show and i have decided to use 106 & park as it is a commonly known show. This is because there is various focal points which is between the presenters and the guests. The visual style and mode is due to the atmosphere of the show. It is energized through the audience as they have to give atmosphere to the show. You can see this clearly at 0:34. For this reason, multi-camera has to be used to capture every reaction from the audiences reactions. To maintain the viewers interest, there are various camera shots to get close ups on the gust stars on the show 0:50. By showing close ups of the guests actions at 1:21, will have communication meaning to the audience as they would be able to see them with more expression.
Practical
The coverage of action is shown at 0:45 where you get a full image of the presenters, guests and some of the audience. They do this as the introduction of the guests so you can see all of their expressions. The constraints of the environment is a large area due to the audience as well as the stage. This means that there must be multi-camera to get all different angles of the guests and the audience. It is all simultaneous as it isn't a pre recorded show. This is so that you can get the audiences reactions with out it being staged.
Aesthetic
A talent show audition is not pre record as they would have one chance to get it right. The visual style and mode is due to the reaction the performer gets from the audience and the judges 2:05. To maintain the viewers interest, there are various camera angles of the audience, judges and performer. The angles are mainly of the performer as it is their part of the show 1:27 - 1:37 - 1:51. The communication meaning to the audience, is when you get footage of the performers family 2:10. This shows their emotions towards the performance.
Practical
The coverage of action is throughout the performance to get the expression from the performer as well as the audience. As it is a larger area, the constraints of the environment have to be covered dramatically to grasp every detail. As the performance is not pre recorded, the whole thing has to be simultaneous. This means by changing the camera angles and styles would have to be done smoothly and effectively to give it a better look overall.
The aesthetics are:
- Visual style and mode of address
- Maintaining viewer interest
- Communicating meaning to the viewer
The practicals are:
- Coverage of action
- Constraints of studio or location environment
- Multi-camera simultaneous recording coverage of action
These reasons would be described in detail to why it makes that specific genre and how the multi-camera uses are interpreted to help give it that better feel of the theme.

This genre is sport and i have chosen show jumping. This is because there is only one focus point which is the horse and rider. The visual style and mode is due to the atmosphere of the show. It is energized through the competitor as they have to focus on getting around as quickly as possible to beat the other peoples times. You can see this clearly by the riders facial expression at 2:32. For this reason, multi-camera has to be used to capture every jump otherwise it would be too fast to catch it on just one. To maintain the viewers interest, there are various camera shots and techniques such as repeats and slow motion. At 4:30 there is an incident where she doesn't quite make the jump then at 5:00 you get to see a repeat of this incident in slow motion so that you can see all the detail in which why she didn't make it. Then at 5:10 you get to see it at a different angle. By slowing the footage down and repeating it means that communication meaning to the audience will happen as the audience are able to see the mistake again which the majority of the audience would like to see to elaborate on what really happened.
Practical
The coverage of action is shown at 3:50 they start with a close up of the rider which turns into a long shot as they take their first jump. It follows round as a long shot to the next jump but then changes to a different angle which is closer so you get a better view of the jump. By doing this, makes it interesting to the viewer as it changes up the scene to make the view better in total. The constraints of the environment is a large area due to the horse. This means that there must be multi-camera to get all different angles on the jumping. The reason to this is due to the points. You get penalty points of it knock off a jump etc so there has to be a lot to catch to footage of it to make it fair to all the other participants. Because each rider is riding for a minute maximum, it has to be simultaneous as they wouldn't be able to go back and do the course exactly the same way they done it before.

There is various cameras set up around the location so that they can capture different angles of him performing. 1:30 There are also shots of the audiences reaction to give it more of an effect. By having various cameras set up, means that there can be a wider coverage of action. The area is also large as it has to fit a stage as well as a large number of people. 1:32 This is also the reason to why there has to be a multi-camera set up to make sure they capture everything. It is simultaneous as it has to be recorded in the moment straight away as it can be repeated as it is a live event. This means that they have to get it perfect the first time. By having various cameras set up, will allow them to get a wider view of what they can put into the final piece.
Aesthetic Game shows usually have a focus point of one person if it is an individual course such as this example. If it is a group of people, then there are various focus points. 0:13 The visual style is all kept energized in this clip as it is more of a sport course to see how fast someone can complete it. The energized atmosphere means that the audience watching it would get a better understanding to the energy the participant has to put in there them self 3:35 . To maintain the viewers interests, some parts of the footage is repeated in slow motion. This gives the audience a better view on how the participant has taken part in that particular move. Each shot has a communication to the audience as there are close ups of their reactions. This will show the audience the feelings that the participants would be feeling throughout the course.
Practical
The coverage of action is shown throughout this clip as there is a lot of action to take cover of. Each different camera is set up so that you can get more than one angle of each action then play back the angle which looks best. There are long shots of wider actions but there are also close ups on their reaction as they are coming up to or the action or whilst they are in the middle of doing it. 5:40 The constraints of the environment is a large restricted area as the course is quite big but it is all in a certain amount of space. Although it is in a set space, there must be multi-camera so that each part of the course is caught as the person taking park cant go back and redo the movement as it is all a on off. By not being able to go back and do the same movement, make this simultaneous as it is a move done once and cannot be copied after 5:42.
Practical
Coverage of action is clearly shown throughout the whole clip as they change the shots type many times 2:14 - 2:16 - 2:19. This is to get a better view on the conversation as this is what a talk show is mainly about. The constraints of the environment is a large area due to the hosting of an audience and a stage for the interviews etc. A multi-camera set up would enable various shot types to happen and would also help as they would be able to catch every reaction from the guests as well as from the audience. Talk shows aren't that simultaneous as they are not recorded live. This means that they can go back and re take a shot if they are not happy with and keep doing so until they perfect it.

Practical
Multi-camera must be used as there is a wide coverage of action 3:10 - 3:32 that has to be shot. It is set out over a large area until it gets to the main point which is also the main part of the event. By using multi-camera, will allow a lot more shots to be taken of the actual even and of the others who have come to pay respects close up. By getting the shots of the audience, means that the audience watching the footage would also be able to see others reaction to get another perspective of the event. This event has also been shot simultaneously as it is a contionuous live event which cannot be re recorded until the year after. By being live, means that the cameras would have to pick up all the actions from various angles to get the best shots to place together for the viewers at home.

This genre is a magazine show and i have decided to use 106 & park as it is a commonly known show. This is because there is various focal points which is between the presenters and the guests. The visual style and mode is due to the atmosphere of the show. It is energized through the audience as they have to give atmosphere to the show. You can see this clearly at 0:34. For this reason, multi-camera has to be used to capture every reaction from the audiences reactions. To maintain the viewers interest, there are various camera shots to get close ups on the gust stars on the show 0:50. By showing close ups of the guests actions at 1:21, will have communication meaning to the audience as they would be able to see them with more expression.
Practical
The coverage of action is shown at 0:45 where you get a full image of the presenters, guests and some of the audience. They do this as the introduction of the guests so you can see all of their expressions. The constraints of the environment is a large area due to the audience as well as the stage. This means that there must be multi-camera to get all different angles of the guests and the audience. It is all simultaneous as it isn't a pre recorded show. This is so that you can get the audiences reactions with out it being staged.
Aesthetic
A talent show audition is not pre record as they would have one chance to get it right. The visual style and mode is due to the reaction the performer gets from the audience and the judges 2:05. To maintain the viewers interest, there are various camera angles of the audience, judges and performer. The angles are mainly of the performer as it is their part of the show 1:27 - 1:37 - 1:51. The communication meaning to the audience, is when you get footage of the performers family 2:10. This shows their emotions towards the performance.
