The production meeting was run like a formal meeting that working class people would use to share idea's and so on. The production meeting started off with miss giving out the reflecting sheets and before getting each individual to talk about their unique idea we sat down as a group and spoke about the brief was and the specific aspects we all have to include in our idea's. For example the brief wanted a Music Magazine show that was aimed towards 14-20 year olds which instantly shows that the show we would be making would contain elements that will be engaging for the younger generation rather than the show being formal because then it would not relate to the brief. The reason it would not make sense is because young people would not find something formal interesting.
After discussing the brief and how we would bring our whole concept together to make it suitably to the brief we went one one by one to talk about our own idea's and in a way convince the rest of the class to like my idea to get them to use my idea. Although the production was suppose to be formed as a meeting each person was given the opportunity to present their idea's through their bloggers. Whilst each person was presenting their idea's the rest of the class was filling out their feedback sheets this was for everyone to remember all the different idea's and maybe see about how they can combine each idea. Once each person finished derlibrating their idea's it was the time for the rest of the class to ask questions.
The groups response to my idea was good, it seemed like they liked my idea but still liked their own idea's more. Shriya said she liked the overall concept of the urban idea partly because she had a simular idea. After I presented my idea no one was confused with what I was talking about apart from Keren who asked how I would get the audience involved in my show and I answered her question with the fact I want the audience to always be able to tweet and for the presenters to show and read some tweets from viewers.
I voted for Shriya's idea 'Strapstar' mainly because her overall idea is very simular to mine I very much like the idea of having the studio look like the t4 set studio. I also love the idea of making the overall theme and setting urban because I believe it is very important to what the set design looks like. I liked that she brought the clothing and setting and presentatio style all together because I know as a young teenagers the first thing I look at it is what the overall show looks like for example something like the one show has a very boring and plan set design which is why I would not watch it.
I believe the whole idea of the urban theme relates to the brief of the age range because the theme urban pretty much will be engaging for the younger generation. I also believe the use of the pervious music video's being made getting a part of the show relates to the music side of the brief and the quiz relates to the magazine brief side.
Overall I think Shriya could of developed her idea by just making sure she knew exactly what she wanted because as she presented it, it was abit everywhere. The only way Shriya could of develop her idea is by maybe having a structure of everything and made certain things more specfic for example the clothing instead of just saying what she wanted she could have shown a picture of maybe someone she got inspiration from so it made it more visual to the rest of the class.
The other idea's I would like to see incoperate would be Alysia's idea of the the show being set in two different places for example one in the main studio which will be in the class room and the other location which would be the half way bit outside, I like that Alysia wanted it to seem like the presenter in the hall way would be almost having a interview with the guests and then after the camera would follow them into the main studio.
My music magazine show will be called 'RIP' and will approximately run for 60minuiuts. Above the title you will see the logo I have desgined for my show.The name of my show 'RIP' stands for rest in peace but the main reason I am calling my show RIP is because I want it to contradict the real meaning of the Abbreviation RIP instead of it meaning something that is dead I want it to mean something that is soon approaching, so RIP to what use to be music and Rest In Perfection to what is music now. My show format will be a mix between Keith Lemon Celebrity Juice and T4. The style format of my show will be a music magazine show.
My show RIP is to represent the young British teenagers which is why I have decided for my theme to be very outrageous,vintage and very up to style with fashion when coming to the design of the set. I would like my music magazine show to evolve around three words, these words are:
I have chosen to work around these three words when coming to the mood and theme of my set because the brief wants it to be aimed towards E4 viewers from the age 14-20. I feel my chat show should be very edgy and outrageous because the British viewers age 14-20 would more likely listen to urban, hip hop, pop and RNB music this is because this is what is trendy. For my music magazine show I have had influences by Rita Ora, Rihanna and Lady Gaga because these are the biggest females right now and are what most young people look up to. By just looking at the way these individual artists dress makes me want to have my set very outrageous from the set design to the format of the show.
The word fun makes me think of the visual style, I want the visual style/set design to be very youthful and fun with the use of different colours and different prints. I have also have influences from the Jonathon Ross show when it comes to designs with the printed background it just makes it seem more pleasing to the eye. Also the word fun, I want my overall show to be fun which is why I will add lots of different aspects too it so live performances, quizzes and humour throughout the show.
The word urban represents the songs I will be playing in the studio for example: Rihanna-Talk That Talk, Rita Ora-Hot Right Now and So On. The set design will also reflect on the word urban through the bold different colours and the Graffiti Affect.
The word bold is to make my show seem very unique and bold. I want my show to be different from every other show by making it seem as spontaneous as possible. I want the set up to look very bold, urban but still have that chat show element.
_____________________________________
Programme Format:
I want my programme to start off with a VT of what you would see in the show (will be discussed next). I want the VT to look very comically so lots of bold writings and I want it to be a 3minuit video. Just to introduce everything.
Show Starts 6pm (Running Order):
6.00-6.10: Morgan & Shriya Walk onto stage (Camera picks them up from backstage getting ready) and then follows them walking in. I have taken inspiration from the show 'The Voice' when it comes to seeing the artists backstage first because it just gives the show that bit more excitment but of course I will make sure I make it fit in with the music show. Underneath shows a picture of how I would like it to look.
I would like the presenters to come on in a fun way whether that is pretending to dance or messing about because I want my show to really reach out to the younger geneation.
6.10-6.15: Morgan & Shriya will say hello (written in script) and then go on to talk about who will be coming on stage. They will then Invite guests in, three people per team this will be so they can have a quiz, the quiz will be related to the three music video's I will be showing. Each guest will have a short introduction about them with some humour for example how Keith Lemon introuduces Holly Willoughby and Fearn Cotton. This is to show that the show is not serious and it is enjoyable to watch.
6.30:
Game Quiz Starts with Guests: Team 1: Talha(Shriya's Music Video), Tyra (Pretend PopStar) and Lamar.Team 2: Bikram(Amrit's Video), Sarah (Pretend Popstar) and Spencer.
Within the competiton you will see three different music video's these being Mine & Alysia's music video, Shriya and Sam's music video and Amrit and Raees music video. The quiz will be based on each music video which is why there are two people that were in both video's.
Guests Will be asked questions just like celebrity Juice but just about the music video's instead, I took inspiration from the Keith Lemon Show ''Celebrity Juice' because its not so serious and is very funny and catchy to watch which is how I want my show to be. I don't want it to get boring.
Presenters will then go to ask the crowd if they have any questions, stuff from twitter can also come in relating to the music video. Which one they preferred what they liked about them and so on.
6.45: Break
6.50: Come back and there will be a live performance by Tyra (Female Artist).
All guests leave with the presenters left to close the show.
Content Idea's
My main content idea is to make my music magazine show have a main aspect being the quiz which will have to do with different music genres and different music video's. I will also have a live performance towards the end.
Studio Design/Background Sketch
So my overall theme of teh whole set and design is to be very vintage and trendy. It is very important that the studio set up looks the part because I want to fit in with what I want the presenters to wear and also want the music and setting design to reflect on each other. So my overall concept of my show RIP will be a Hip Hop/Pop genre based with other genres getting played like grime,rap,rnb and so on. I want my studio to look funky but take inspiration from the Graham Norton Show Set Up. I've made design how I want it to look like, see images below.
I want the background to look like walls but pink walls shown underneath, I have this kind of wallpaper so that the set looks very vintage and almost like your in an actic like the set you see on T4 when you see Rita Ora having an interview. So I want the walls to look very vintage and I want one wall to have a specific wallpaper which I have designed aswell(see image below). I have decided to go for the graffiti look because I have really bee infulenced by Brick Lane in Liverpool St because its very commercial looking and trendy and I thought if my show looked like that it would look completely different to any of show you would watch.
I have taken alot of inspiration from the background and setting of Graham Nortons show, I want to use the same format but I want a main table which is where me and Shriya will sit which is like the table you see Keith Lemon have but my own design. I also want the two tables the way it is set out on the Celebrity Juice Show. I dont have a specific colour because I want lots of colour clashes and so on. I also want lots of different wacky things to makes the whole scene look very commercial and funky.
I want the presenters to compliment the visual style of the set which is why I want them to dress very commercial with lots of prints and bold colours. I have taken inspiration from the way Rihanna, Rita Ora and Jessie J dress because its very different to how most females dress and alot of young people look upto these artists when it comes to the fashion side of things. I think that it is important that the overall vision style is completly different to what you normally see , which is why I dont want the presenters to look dressed up with heels etc I want them to look more casual.
I like the way Rita Ora dresses because its very bold and it also goes with the set of the graffiti wall. It looks ver urban aswell so it goes with my theme.
The reason I want the presenters to dress very urban is because that is the trend now for the younger generation especially when it comes to people who take a keen interest in hip hop and pop music. I don't have a specific costume idea because I would prefer the presenters to wear what they feel comfortable in but make sure they wear bold colours and colour clash their outfits or wear big bold shapes and pattern prints. So the overall look is based on the three artists: jessie j, rihanna & rita ora
Presentation Style:
I want my overall presentation style seem very informal because its for people between 14-20 and they would not take keen interest in a music show that is very formal. The main concept of my style is for it to be very humorous and outrageous, I will show this in my presentation through making the presenters talk very lay back and in the script have little funny jokes and funny comments. I will make the way the presenters introduce the guests very funny just like Keith Lemon Portrays the funny character when introducing his guests. I will also portray the outrageous style through the way the presenters are dressed and through the set up of the studio.
The term Multi Camera is a recording method which involves using two or more cameras. The cameras are usually in a fixed position this is so that it makes it easier to cut from one camera to another camera. The Multi Camera Technique is mainly used for live events to make sure they cover all of the action for example these could range from cooking shows to live football(Live). Multi camera can be used for many different reasons the first main reason is the ‘coverage’ this means the coverage of action they get for example it would be very hard to film a live football match with one camera because if the camera did not pick up a goal they would not be able to say can you re-do that so I can get it on camera, so this is a main reason why live concepts use the multi camera technique.
The next reason why many shows use the multi camera technique is because by using the multi camera technique, it allows the show to be more interesting to watch why? Because by using more than one camera will make the show more pleasing to the eye because there will be a range of different camera angles.
Another reason why many shows use the multi camera technique because ‘speed’, by having more than 1 camera will automatically make the process of filming something much quicker for example in a studio, if you use more than 1 camera you will most likely only have to film it once.
The last reason why some shows/festivals may use the multi camera technique is for the ‘continuity’ for example when you see someone smoking in a soap it would be hard to get the whole shot of someone smoking from one camera because when you re-film it from different angles you would have to make sure the cigarette is the same length as it was before you cut whereas if you filmed it from 3 different cameras in 3 different positions you will not have to re-film anything.
There are two main purposes for using this technique which could either be ‘Aesthetic ‘purposes or ‘practical’ purposes either way they are both positive reasons why to use this method over using the single camera method. Throughout my work I will go through 7 different sub genres that use the multi camera affect and explain why they use it. These 7 different sub genres are; Live Sports, Live Concerts, Public Events, Game Shows, Chat Shows, Magazine Shows and Talent Shows.
Sport Live-Football
Any live sports must use the multi camera technique because it is very important that the camera’s pick up everything that is happening. Football is a main live sport that is watched by many viewers online or on the TV which is why it is very important that the different camera’s get everything. The viewers will find it incredibly bring to watch the whole match from just one shot (Long Shot). I have chosen to analyse the football match between ManUnited and Blackpool for my example of a live sport. Also if there was to only be one camera it would become very boring to watch and would lack viewer interest.
Football is a very physical sport and has lots of running involved which means it would be incredibly hard for one camera to track the players run up and down, this is why for football certain cameras have specific job roles for example there is a specific camera to pick up the audiences reaction and the managers reaction in addition there are other camera’s that a specific job role for example there is a camera in the centre which is normally see long shots from then you have other cameras that track the players running up and down and this is most likely to be and low angle shot.
Why does this show use Multi Camera for aesthic purposes?
Live sports use the multi-camera technique so they can catch everything that is happening for example in live sports that I will be looking at closely is the football match by Arsenal and Milan Emirates. It is important that as a film-maker that they that get everything which is why they use more than one camera so that they can have specific camera's for specific area's on the pitch to film. Also because the football is filmed live the film-makers cannot re-film it.
The reason this show uses multi-camera techniques is to maintain the viewer’s interest, if they were to film the whole 90minuits of a match from a high angle the viewer would lose interest and would find it very boring.
The other reason why the football uses the multi-camera technique is for the overall visual style this is when the cutting from one shot to another shot comes into it. By filming something from a long shot then cutting straight to someone shooting creates a dramatic feeling which could link into how the football match is for example if the pace is quite fast and dramatic it could be relating to the football match making the football seem really intense and hard which is why the cuts are so quick.
Coverage Of Action
The coverage of action is mainly to show the whole pitch with the players on it so the coverage of action is shown through one main camera being the middle camera, this camera normally follows the ball and whoever has the ball. So the camera is constantly moving and the cuts are not fast at all because it is not about making the match look like there’s a lot going on its more about just watching what's going on.
Visual Style
The overall visual style is very simple because the pace of cutting is not really fast and outrageous; the shots are also not very different. All the different shots are specific reasons so you can see exactly what is going on for example if it was a live performance of a concert you would tend to see loads of camera's to create atmosphere whereas for football each camera has a specific job. The visual style as the pace of cutting is to go with the pace of the football match so if the match was hard and the teams where getting the ball frequently the camera shots will speed up so overall the visual style is very simple.
Maintaining Viewer Interest
The camera shots are what keeps the viewers interested if the shot was the same throughout the whole match the viewer would get very bored whereas they have camera's to pick up everything for example there are camera's at the back of each goal which is very engaging as a viewer to watch and the viewer can also see the footballers faces when the camera's pick them up which can also maintain the viewer’s interest.
Communicate Meaning to Viewer
There is a specific camera that picks up the audiences reaction, this is an example that helps communicate meaning to the viewer because as a viewer can see that the audience are happy and are cheering. This is an example of communicate meaning to viewer because the viewer is influenced by what they see for example if they see one of the managers angry they will automatically feel angry as well.
The image above shows different camera angles used throughout the match, this is to make th match more pleasing to the eye and not so boring. Live Concert-Adele
The live concert performed by Adele uses multi-camera techniques because it helps create an atmosphere, it also helps the viewer see more than just Adele singing from a long short, by using lots of different shots helps link with the mood of the song and makes it more engaging to watch. The concert uses roughly 7 different camera's this makes the overall video more affective because you not only see Adele performing but you also see the band playing and you can also see the audience as well. So the video I have decided to use as my example for live concerts is Adele's concert of her performing rolling in the deep. I have specially chosen this as my example because I like the way the camera's are used to make the whole set up seem very dramatic whereas the cuts and affects are pretty basic which compliment the song which really helps with making the video more engaging and also the use of multi-camera technique helps with the look.
Coverage Of Action
The coverage of action is shown through lots of different camera angles mainly because it’s important that the viewer sees everything also because it's a live performance it would be harder to pick up everything by just one camera.
Visual Style
The visual style of the video of the live concert video is quiet calm for example the number of cuts are not frequent because the angles change to the music and because the song is very slow and calm there is not loads of cuts. There are lots of different camera angle shots to make it more engaging for example there is a specific camera that picks up Adele's facials this makes the video more engaging because although you’re watching it on YouTube, you can feel the emotion behind it because the camera picks it up. The visual style of the Adele concert is very dynamic because the cuts from different angles go with the pace and feeling of the song and there is a variety of different camera angles which makes it very engaging to watch.
Maintaining Viewer Interest
To maintain the viewers interest the multi camera technique uses a variety of shoots to make the viewer interested and the cutting of the music goes with the song, for example there are points were the cut from camera to camera goes on the beat of the song sang by Adele. So by cutting from shot to shot makes the video more interesting. It is also practical because my using more than one camera you are sure to cover all of the concert making sure you get the shots of the artist, then the crowd. Also the other practicak reason for filming with more than one camera is that you would not have to re-film it because if you only had one camera to film this particual concert you would not be able to pick up everything from just one camera you would have to re-film it but then the crowds reaction would not be the same because they would already know so this would decrease the meaning to the audience aswell.
Public Events
Princess Diana's Funeral
Public events use the multi camera technique to make sure they cover everything that is happening. It is also important for them to get everything on camera because most people would like to watch it on the TV because most public events are live on TV which is why they have to make sure they don’t miss anything out. The public video I have chosen to analyse the public event of Princess Diana’s funeral, this was very public because anyone was allowed to go and give their blessing for her. Everyone looked up to Princess Diana which is why there was a live public event that was getting filmed and because there was a lot of people and it was important that they not only filmed what was going on but also the public’s comments.
Public events like Princess Diana’s funeral use Multi camera language for many different reasons, the first reason for practical reasons is so that they can get everything from the public’s reaction, the family’s reactions and so on. The good reason for using the multi camera technique to film this type of event is because it doesn’t show you only the event it shows you other which makes it more meaningful towards the viewer watching. The other practical reason for using the multi camera technique is because for time it would be incredibly hard to film the whole thing from one camera because you wouldn’t be able to get everything and you would not be able to ask to re-do it to change the shots. Also if you were to only use one camera for aesthic purposes it would be very boring because the shot will be the same throughout the whole event. There was loads of different cameras in use on this particular event because it was a large event with a lot of people. Why does this show use Multi Camera for aesthic purposes? The public event for princess diana's funeral uses the multi camera technique for aesthic purposes to catch the viewers interest, they do this because thy want everyone to watch it at home and not eveyon will watch it if the camea angle is the same throughout and there's no cuts to make it loof effective. They do this by cutting from shot to shot to make the whole set up seem more dramatic for example whe it cuts from a high agle shot to a close up show makes it seem more emotional because it cuts from a slow movement in the camera which suggests that the overall video is sad to a close up shot of the family's faces and the audience's reaction. This helps with the mood and atmosphere. By using more than one camera it allows the editor to do washaway cuts and really dramatic cuts but in this case because the liv public event is sad of the cuts from camera to camera are very simple to make it simple and this helps to create a very tense atmosphere. Coverage Of Action
By using the multi camera layout for a live public event is important because the camera operators needs to make sure they cover al of the action espically on a public event scale like this, viewers at home will want to see everything and with only one camera it will not work unless the camera operator records the whole event from a long shot which will seem boring. The multi camera layout is effective when catching the family's emotions which wil only be sen if you used the multi camera set up.
Studio Show-Take Me Out
Game shows like ‘Take me Out’ are based in studios and are for pure entertainment, the show I am looking at is where Paddy McGuiness tries to couple people together and this is purely for entertainment reasons. The show I am looking at is very fun up tempo to the music playing to the way Paddy speaks so it is not a serious show like ‘Million Pound Drop’. Take Me Out is a very popular show which is aired on BBC3 on a Saturday night for entertainment. Shows like Take Me Out use the multi camera because they get filmed live which means it’s important that everything gets caught on the camera’s.
Coverage Of Action
The reason why the show Take Me Out uses the multi camera layout is also to make sure they get all the action that happens on camera because the show is live the reactions of the girls to the guests are also live so it would not make sense for them to keep filming the same thing from different angles because that way the girls really would not be as surprised as they would be if it was just the once. This layout also helps with getting all the action from different angles for example when Paddy goes to see what a girl thinks about the guest man it comes off a long shot onto a close up shot of the girs which is useful so you can see her expressions as well as what she is saying.
Why does this show use Multi Camera for aesthic purposes?
For aesthic purposes the show uses a multi camera layout out this is so that they can do quick cuts from person to person to make the show seem more exciting because in this show particularly the camera cuts from one camera to another are really fast which make the show seem more fun and lively. It goes with the past of the show, which is why it is so engaging to watch. The use of the multi camera layout also allows there to be a different range of shots for example in take me out the first shot to be seen is a high angle shot looking down onto the whole set and then it snaps into a close up shot of the guest, this makes the show more interesting because different shots show different things for example when the shot is high up it almost belittles the man ‘guest’. So overall this show uses the multi camera layout to grab attention, cut to the pace of the show, and have different camera angles to make it more exciting.
Chart Show-Piers Morgans Life Style
Chat shows also use the multi camera shots to capture everything in the interview, this is because as interviewer they need to make sure they cover all the important answers that the guest gives back cause this is what the viewer’s want to know and see. I have chosen to look at Piers Morgan’s lifestyle because it is a very well watched show and the interview I will be looking at is the interview with Katie Price. This interview was a very heated interview as Katie Price spoke about stuff for the first time which is why it was so dramatic but in a sad way.
Coverage Of Action
In this case the practical reasons for having the multi camera set up is to catch all the information said but to also get the audiences reaction as Katie Price reveals stuff because that is very important because the public watching on the TV always like to see what other people’s reactions are. The coverage of action is also important to get all of Katie Prices reactions to Piers Morgan’s questions ad if there was only one camera you would not be able to pick up all of this. This gives the set a basic layout with one camera 1 concentrating on the host , camera 4 on the guest and the 2nd is a long shot, the fourth can be used as an extra shot which can move around the set to look for other ways of close ups and long shots.
Why does this show use Multi Camera for aesthic purposes?
The
multi camera layout is also helpful when it comes to the aesthetic
purposes because it makes the set seem more interesting and the cuts
also reflect make on the mood for example in the piers Morgan life
stories the cuts are very simple there are no big effects and this is
because they wanted it to seem more simple to make the show seem really
sad. We also get to see the body language with the long shots and the expressions on their face with the close ups.
Talent Show- Britain's Got Talent
It is important for a show like Britain’s Got Talent to use the multi camera layout because they need to cover all the action within each performance to make it as fair as possible and for the viewers at home to feel like they are watching it from in the studio, the show really needs to adapt with the viewers in order for them to get more phone calls in for each of the acts. The multi camera layout also needs to make sure it catches the audience’s reaction the judges reaction and ant&decs reaction.
Why does this show use Multi-Camera for aesthetic purposes?
The multi camera layout also helps with the Aesthetic purposes for example in Britain Got Talent the camera shots and changes are very wild and crazy to make the show see more fun, this catch the viewer’s interest and makes them watch it. Also when the acts perform instead of just filming it they get it from lots of different angles which make the performance more enjoyable, they also do crazy camera movements to flow with the show making everything seem more interesting.
Coverage Of Action
Talent shows use the multi camera layout because it is important that they get all the action and cuts because it is a show based purely on entertaining them. The talent show I have chosen to look at is Britain’s got Talent because it is a big talent show that is watched y most people and it uses the multi camera layout in different ways. This is because the program uses various ways for the viewer to feel as if they were a part of the live audience. It is important that during the show that the viewers at home feel they can connect to the acts because they have to then vote who thy want to go throw or win. Britain’s got talent see’s different contestants battling it out to win a prize at the end and the show uses the camera layout to make performances to look better and also to get the judges ad audience’s reaction.
Chat Show- The One Show
Magazine shows have a simple multi camera layout with the three camera one camera facing the guests and one camera facing the interviewer ad one camera overlooking them al on a long shot. A magazine shows is divided into little sections which has its own sub genres and clips which is shown throughout the program , it is meant to be more informative rather than entertaining. The one show use the multi camera layout just to create a simple look overall and they use it to get all the coverage of action from the gusts replying to the questions this is more affective because he makes the interview flow more and seem more friendly were if they only used one camera they’d either get one boring shot of have to keep filming it from different angles.
The production meeting was run like a formal meeting that working class people would use to share idea's and so on. The production meeting started off with miss giving out the reflecting sheets and before getting each individual to talk about their unique idea we sat down as a group and spoke about the brief was and the specific aspects we all have to include in our idea's. For example the brief wanted a Music Magazine show that was aimed towards 14-20 year olds which instantly shows that the show we would be making would contain elements that will be engaging for the younger generation rather than the show being formal because then it would not relate to the brief. The reason it would not make sense is because young people would not find something formal interesting.
After discussing the brief and how we would bring our whole concept together to make it suitably to the brief we went one one by one to talk about our own idea's and in a way convince the rest of the class to like my idea to get them to use my idea. Although the production was suppose to be formed as a meeting each person was given the opportunity to present their idea's through their bloggers. Whilst each person was presenting their idea's the rest of the class was filling out their feedback sheets this was for everyone to remember all the different idea's and maybe see about how they can combine each idea. Once each person finished derlibrating their idea's it was the time for the rest of the class to ask questions. 
The groups response to my idea was good, it seemed like they liked my idea but still liked their own idea's more. Shriya said she liked the overall concept of the urban idea partly because she had a simular idea. After I presented my idea no one was confused with what I was talking about apart from Keren who asked how I would get the audience involved in my show and I answered her question with the fact I want the audience to always be able to tweet and for the presenters to show and read some tweets from viewers.
