Production Meeting 4

During this week the duties that I performed were getting the set ready meaning getting all the chairs that were needed and also getting the covers needed for the chairs, I also had to get the table needed for the centre pice of the show and finally I had to sort out the pictures to put on the backdrop so that the set relates to music.

The things that have been successful this week was getting everything ready in time for the live day, which meant that on the day I only had to sort out the pictures for the backdrop, and just fix up the set so that it looked nice and neat and inviting for the audience.

The things that I would have changed / developed was the cover used for the guests chair as it was dirty and to me it did not look to good, I would have also got a lot more pictures for the backdrop so that the backdrop looks fuller, and looks like a proper photo collage, and also i would have used something else to stick the pictures on to the green screen as the pictures kept falling down.

I worked well with my team this week as I helped Aisha with the different pictures to get, I also spoke to Chloe & Aisha whilst setting up the set to see if the set looks good and also if the chairs were even from the middle and things like that. I also worked quite closely with Yannick to help him with the script during school times whilst out of the class so that he was confident when it came to the live day.

I feel like my performance on the live day was quite good as during the morning I was lively and fixing the set so that it was ready for the first practise, I was also supporting the presenters whilst having breaks in between the practises, however during the recording of the show I thought that my performance was not good as I did not have nothing to do except from when the hot or not section were I had to change the slides. Once we had about 4 practise and it got later on in the day I also thought my performance dropped as I was getting tired, however the class managed to make it through the last live performance to pull it out the bag.

Production Meeting 2

This week I worked closely with floor manager (Aisha) and the director (Chloe), to work out how the set would look and what types of colours there would be, we decided to use the colours red black and gold as they go with the logo of the show and we also decided to have a picture collage on the backdrop of all different artists so that it fits in with the genre of the TV show.

The group like the design of the set, of having one sofa for the presenters which will be covered in red cloth and also another chair that will be covered in red cloth for the guests, our group also liked the colours that we (Chloe & myself) decided to use for the set as it matches with the logo, and also the picture collage for the backdrop with all the celebrities which will relate it more to the music video.

The things that were successful this week was designing the set and finishing it fully without having to change it several times, and also going to look and ask for the props needed for the live day show. Another thing that was successful was knowing what props we needed for the show and also going to look at them to see if they suited what the director and myself was looking for .

The things that I develop is more of an understanding of my role and knowing what to do n the day apart from set up the set and make sure that everything is on the set, I also have to make sure that all the props needed will be accessible on the day.

The things that I will be doing next week is to design the studio designs on fireworks to make it more visible for the class to see so they could roughly see how the set would look and what type of colours will be used, I will also be working with Aisha to create the picture collage for the backdrop, which should be quite simple.

I think whilst working with Chloe & Aisha this week that we worked extremely well together as it was easy for us all to decide on things that would happen on the set and on the floor during the show and finally what colours.

Production Meeting 1

This week my class mates and my self were all allocated our jobs for the live day, I was allocated the job of set designer, this meeting was run by the whole class sitting around in a circle, this was so that the each person was able to pitch there idea's to one another, once everyone had pitched there idea's, we then asked each person questions about there ideas to get more of an in site to the idea's. Once all the questions were asked and all the pitches were finished we were then given a voting sheet which we had to vote who's idea we liked and why.

The group liked my the title and the design that I used for the show this was because they said that it was unique and that it was good that i did not have to design it on the computer. They also thought that my idea was good as I decided to have 1 male and 1 female presenter so that it would go to all different genders. My USP is having a dance of between the guests and presenters.

I voted for Chloe's idea as I felt like she had some good content and I liked her title and the different idea's, for example the missing lyric idea I thought that was quite creative as it would give a different vibe to the show.

The reason why I voted for Chloe's idea is because she engaged the audience a lot in the programme which is good as they will keep watching the show to see what things they can get engaged in.

The aspects that related to the brief was that it is a half an hour magazine show, and also that it has audience engagement and finally that they have 15 minuets of adverts.

The area's that need to be improved is that there should be a female and male presenter not just 2 male presenters, the reason why i think this is because I think that the female and male presenters can relate more to the audience than 2 male presenters.

I think that Omar's ideas of the dance off and the visual representation of the artist could be incorporated into the final idea as the visual representation of the artists is the type of clothing that the audience we are aiming at more wear.
