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.

Props List

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. 

Set Design Script

Production Meeting Reflection 3

The duties that I performed this week was to produce two studio designs, one which as the main studio and the second one was the desk set, to produce these I had to draw them out on paper and also write the props list underneath after drawing them I then made a clearer set designer on fireworks and put it onto my blog. Blog Post Studio Design. 

The thing that has been successful for me this week has been creating the studio design as it was quite easy to do the lay out and figure out where all the chairs were going to go and what type of backgrounds there will be on the backdrop and what different colours that was going to be used during the TV show.

The things that we needed to change / develop was the backdrop as Aisha had to make it so that in the middle the logo could fit and also so that there would be enough pictures to fit on the backdrop of the main studio and then also to make sure that when it is going to be projected on the board it is big enough to fit on the board.

Next week I intend to get all the props that we need for the show to make sure that we are able to get them for the day of the show and also ask the DT department if we can use some red sheets for the chairs, and to also ask drama and the staff room if we are able to take the sofa and one chair for the show.

I believe that whilst working with Aisha and Chloe it was very effective as Aisha and myself split the work so that it was easier for us to complete the work needed for this weeks production meeting, also throughout this week we worked productively together as when we done the studio design blog we worked together to make the design on fireworks and to also write about the different sets that we used.

Studio Design

These are the studio designs that Monique and I came up with, we also spoke to the director (Chloe) to make sure that our ideas were what she wanted it to look like. 

From our ideas you can see that studio design area 1 (which will be the main studio) has two chairs one will be for the two presenters and the other for the guest's, we also decided to have a table and a center piece on top of the table, behind the chairs we also decided to have to lamps to make it look more attracting to the audience and will also look more relaxed and homely. For the two chairs that we have decided to use we will be covering them with red cloth to go with the colour scheme of black,red and gold, also going with the colour scheme the table is black with a gold pattern on the top, with the logo also being red, black and gold. The backdrop for this design is to have a photo collage with the logo being in the centre so that the audience can see the logo of the show as the logo will be the most prominent thing in the show. The props that will be used in this area of the studio will be a table, lamps and a center piece which will also be more engaging for the audience.


For the second studio area (which is the desk area) we have decided to have two chairs for each presenter which will also be covered in red cloth, the desk will also be covered in a black cloth or have musical pictures hanging from them. In this area we will use the projector to project pre-recorded Skype calls and snap chat video's. For the main backdrop there will also be the photo collage, however at this area it will be projected onto the screen instead of being stuck on. The props that we will be used in this area of the studio will be some magazines and musical pictures to put on the desk to make it more engaging for the audience.

For the background for our TV show we decided to have a photo collage of pop artists and some of their albums. In this collage that we created we included different artists that would appeal to different people. For example we have Ed Sheeran and 50 Cent who come under two different music genres. In total there are 32 different pop artists included in this collage. On the first set we will have the pictures printed out and stuck on the background the logo for the show will be stuck in the middle once it is finished. For the second set we will have this collage projected on the screen as it will need to be changed to show the Snapchats and Skype calls.

Programme format

The overall programme will be a running total of 30 minuets this will include 15 minuets of live content and around 2-3 minuets of adverts. This show is a music magazine show which will be aired on the channel E4. This show will be aimed at 14-20 year old mainstream British audience, which would mean the content of the show would be relatable to the target audience for example having British music videos and interviews from people that live in Britain. 

This show will include 

• Music Videos
• Reviews 
• Interviews 
• Audience interaction 

Title - The title of the show will be Feel The Music the reason why i chose this to be the title is because it stands out as the hand is reaching out kind of grabbing the words so "feeling the music", this would stand out to the audience as it is a unique logo and they would know it if they saw it. I also named the show feel the music as when people listen to the music some people get into it that they start feeling the music so people can relate to the title as they do it them self's. This title would appeal to the target audience as it is not a design that relates to adults it is more a design that relates to teenagers, the colours i would choose to use for the design is black background with a white hand and the writing being silver the reason for this is so that the hand and writing will stand out the most in the logo.

Content Of Idea - In the show I would like there to be a question and answer to the guests, via the audience watching at home, they can call in and ask the guests questions about the guest in the music video, or about there normal life. Another thing i would like to have in the show is a dance of at the end between the guest and presenter and the audience can decide who wins at the end of the show. A final thing that i would like to have in the show is what artist sang the song so the guest or guests on the show would have to guess what artist sang the show.

Running Order - The show is 30 minutes long so for the running order i would have :
0:00 - 10:00 For the first 10 minuets you will see the presenters introducing the show whilst walking in the hallway with music in the background whilst having graphics of there names , you will also see the presenters sitting in the studio introducing the first music video and then interviewing the actor/actress in the music video.

10:00 - 20:00 - For the next 10 minuets you will then see another music video and a interview of the producer and then there will a game which would be which artist sang that song so the audience will be able to tweet in after the video has been played. 

20:00 - 30:00 - For the last 10 minuets there will be a preview of a music video and also a dance competition between the two presenters and two special guests, finally the presenters will say goodbye and there will be a song playing in the background.


Visual & Presentation style - The visual style of the show that i would like is to be quite

relaxed and informal and to do this I would have close ups and mid shots of the presenters and guest, at the beginning after showing the title of the show I would have a track going towards the presenters whilst they introduce the show, after that I would then have mid shots of the presenters and guests and also close ups;s of the presenters and guests so that the audience can see there reactions to certain things that have been said during the show or during a pre-recorded interview. The presentation style that i would like is for the presenters to be informal whilst keeping the viewers engaged and entertained whilst watching the show, they way they could do this is to make jokes about somethings and to also try to make the guests laugh so that the audience watching know that they are genuine and not trying to hard. There should be 2 presenters as it makes the show look more relaxed, and it is also easier to just make jokes with each other to make the audience laugh. Here are some images below of what style I am going look for the presenters. 

 

Sketch - Here is a sketch of what I would like the studio to look like, there would be a long sofa that curves so that the presenters and hosts are not far from each other so that they can feel more relaxed, at the back of the sofa I would have the name of the show as the background so that the audience know the name, and finally i would then have 3 camera's so that 1 can be at the presenters the 2nd one can face the guest and the 3rd one can be one of the guest and the presenters. There would also be lights so that the whole show can look more appealing to the viewers as it will stand out more.

Multi-camera Job Roles

In this blog post I will be writing about the Duties and Skills of the different job roles, the duties of the different job roles are something that has to be done, where as the skills is something that they are good at doing and that they can improve to get the best result out of that specific job. There are 10 jobs that I will be speaking about which are in sub heading's below, these jobs will be put in to a hierarchy system which is a ladder of importance in that event, for example out of the jobs that I will be discussing the director is at the top as he or she is in control of everything.

Camera Operator 

The Key Duties of a camera operator are to make sure that they are filming in the correct shot and in the right place as in a big event there are several camera operator's, which means that each of them have a specific place to be at that time so that when the shot is changed it is the shot that the director wanted. The camera operator also moves and sets up the camera on the set, this has to be done at quite quickly so that when the director is ready to start working and filming for the TV programme they can start, however as this has to be done at a quick speed the camera operator also needs to make sure that all the equipment is working properly. Another duty that the camera operator has is having the final decision on where the camera is placed as they know how the camera's act to different lighting conditions and where the camera would be placed best in different shots. A final duty that the camera operator has is fixing any technical difficulties, this would have to be done fast so that the director and any one else can stick to the schedule so that no one falls behind.

Key Skills

•  The camera operators should have creativity so that they can suggest the best possible idea's / locations or movements for different shots.
• The camera operator should have a good eye for a shot so that they can help the director choose what shots would look best for the certain thing that is happening.
• The camera operators should also have good knowledge of camera's so that they can help the directors get the best camera's and also know how to fix them if a problem occurs.

Qualifications - The are no specific qualifications for this job as the employee's will be more interested in your practical experience and also your technical skills, also you learn most of the skills whilst recording different things, however I think that if you have had a background with camera operating, for example Media studies, performing arts, journalism ect you could have more of a chance as you have more experience.
Hierarchy - The position of the camera operator in the hierarchy is the 5th position as they are important to the shows or events as they are filming the show and they also work closely with the director, however I think that they are not to high in this system as they have very little control of what is aired on the TV.
Example -  The example that I am using is a freelance camera operator called Brian, from this case study this has taught me that with a degree you have more of a chance of getting a good camera assistant or operating job, which can give you good experience. For this job Brian says that he has to keep up with the technology "specifically new cameras and formats" , also as a camera operator you have to be familiar with sound equipment and different microphones to get the best sound when working as a "one man band". Throughout doing the job you travel a lot and also work in different weather conditions, which means that whilst being a camera operator no matter the weather you have to be filming.

Sound Mixing 

The Key Duties of a sound mixer are to make sure that all the equipment is working so that when the show is taking place nothing stops working and nothing cuts out in the middle of someone speaking. Another duty of the sound mixer is to make sure that the right sounds and music comes on at the right time so that if someone is performing the wrong song does not come on and they look confused, and also so that if a sound is supposed to play that it plays for example for family fortunes the sound mixer has to make sure that the buzz sound goes of at the right time. A final duty of the sound mixer is to monitor sound equipment to make sure that whilst the show is going on the music or sounds that are supposed to be played sound like there are supposed to and do not sound funny, this means that they also must know how to fix the equipment if it does go wrong or sound funny.

Key Skills 

• One key skill for a sound mixer is to have a good knowledge on electronics and sound technology so that if something goes wrong they will be able to fix it.
• Another skill for a sound mixer is to have good hearing levels so that they know when the sound or music do not sound right so that they can fix the sound.
• A final skill for the sound mixer is to have a high level of attention to detail for the sounds that are being played.

Qualifications -  The are no specific qualifications to be a sounder mixer, however the employers are looking for people with a lot of good experience. If you are planning to be a sound mixer in college you can do a course to get you more knowledgeable about sound mixing and the skills, the type of course that you can do are Level 2 diploma in sound and music technology, Level 3 diploma in music technology and sound engineering.
Hierarchy - I put sound mixers bellow the camera operator but above the presenter as the sound mixer is important to the TV show as they are making sure the right sounds play at the right time, however they are not as important as the camera operator as if there was no camera operator there would be no TV show.
Example - The example that I am going to use is a freelance sound mixer and technician called Steve from this case study I have learnt that if you have good knowledge of electronics you are more likely to get a better job. For this job Steve says that it involves a lot of travelling and long hours (16 hours) Steve says that most of the days follow the same pattern, Steven says the benefit of his job is that he can turn down jobs and have weekends off.

Vision Mixing 

The Key Duties of a vision mixer are to make sure they know how the equipment works

so that if a problem occurs they will be able to fix it without any troubles, so that during a show if something does go wrong they can fix it easily so that the show does not look bad.

Qualifications - You do not need any specific qualifications to become a vision mixer, however by having a degree in a media related subject you will have a better chance of becoming a vision mixer.
Hierarchy - I decided to place the vision mixer with the sound mixer as they have the same importance as they are quite similar jobs, however one is sorting out the music and sound effects and the vision mixer is dealing with editing the show live as it happens.

Presenter

The Key Duties of a presenter are to research information about topics so that they can be discussed on the show for the viewers watching to know about the news, so what is going on in the country , or world also sport so to tell the viewers the football scores or cricket scores and who is in the finals or semi finals, ect. Another duty of the presenter is to plan and rehearse the show, so that they know what to do and what to say, clearly so that the viewers understand and also so the show runs smoothly, also if they are speaking to a guest what questions to ask the guest and also responses to what they think the guest might say to the questions. The presenters also have to meet with the production team to go through the running order which means that they have to go through what is happening on the show and when it is there shots and what they have to do during the shots and also what they have to speak about, this is so that the show can run smoothly without any problems occurring. 

Key Skills 

The presenter should have a good memory, for remembering the scripts and facts of the show so that they do not forget what to speak about

The presenter should have good research and interviewing skills so when it comes to researching it will not be hard and when they have to interview it is not hard to do. 

The presenter should have excellent communication and presentation skills so that when being recorded they are able to make contact with the camera whilst being clear and understandable.

Qualifications - There are no specific qualifications needed for this job, however as a person that want to get into TV presenting you must be determined and persistent as there are a lot of other people that do not have a degree and are trying to become a TV presenter. You can get into this job without a degree as long as you have the right skills and personality.
Hierarchy -  The position of the presenter in my hierarchy is last as they are the last people to find out what is going on with the set and where the locations are and other things like that, I also believe that they are at the bottom as they do not have much of a say of what goes on, they only have a say on the script and what to say.
Example - The example that I am using is a BBC sports presenter Katherine Downes, from this case I have learnt that with a degree it still takes a long time to get into a good job that will get you the best experience needed, however with the degree you can also get a better job that can get you the most experience. Katherine Downes says that her working days are long (10 hours) but she only works 4 days a week, she says that as she does sports that they have to work on the weekends a lot for long hours 6am to midnight, so the shifts start at different times.

Multi-Camera Formats

In this blog post I will be writing about these different genres

• Live, 
• Studio
• Live Studio 

I will be outlining two practical reasons why it is good to use multi-camera, which are 

• coverage of action, 
• constraints of studio or local environment
• multi-camera simultaneous recording coverage of action (live and spontaneous) 

 Another thing that I will be outlining is two aesthetic reasons why it is good to use multi-camera, which are 

• visual styles & modes of address
• maintaining viewer interest 
• communicating meaning to the viewer

Aesthetic -  Sports (Tennis)

The visual style and mode of address is all down to the atmosphere that the programme would like to have, and by having multiple camera's around they can cut to all different shots and shot types whenever they feel the need to, so that they can get the right feeling and mood for the audience for example at the time code 14:06 you see the adversary between the two players which gives the atmosphere of tense for the viewers watching, and also so they can show how the players are feeling at the time, for example at the time code 19:48 you see Serena Williams looking determined to win the finals , however at the time code 20:02 you see Maria Sharapova looking annoyed as she lost a point in first minute of the game. This match maintains the viewer’s interests by showing close ups of the players and also long shots of the actual match taking place, this maintains the viewer’s interests as the audience watching at home know how the players feel if they lose or gain a point during the match, for example at the time code 20:09 you see Serena Williams reaction to when she score a point during a set. By having the close ups of the players faces once a point has been scored makes the audience watching feel more involved in the match which is communicating meaning to the viewer's as they can see how the player is feeling at the time, for example at the time code 20:43 you see Maria Sharapova lose a point and the audience can see how upset they are which makes it more engaging for them. 
Practical 

This clip (sport) uses multi-camera for several different practical reasons one of which is coverage of action by coverage of action I mean that they are able to cover all of the action taking place during this match, this is so that you can get different shots of what is going on in the game, however if there was only one camera the show would not be able to get the reactions from the players once they have scored a point, for example at the time code 21:35 you see the reaction from Serena Williams once she lost a point. By having several cameras’ the show can pick up the full court as well as having close ups of the players, for example at the time code 19:39 you see the full court then at the time code 19:45 you see a close up of one of the players. The court is a significant size therefor it uses more than one camera so that it can get more than one shot at the same time for example at the time code 19:39 you see a full shot of the court and then a shot of the player, however if they only had one camera they would not be able to get the players reactions or the audiences reaction as they would have to film the whole court. The clip has to be filmed using multi-camera as it is live, the reason for this is that once an action has happened you cannot stop filming and go to record a reaction or a shot as it cannot be done again as it has not been rehearsed for example at the time code 21:42 you see Maria Sharapova trying to keep her cool whilst going to serve again and you could not stop recording and tell them to do the same reaction again as it will not be realistic. The advantages to using multi-camera in a tennis match is that the producers can get several different shots at once without having to move the camera around and missing important parts of the game, also by using multi-camera it makes the match look more interesting, however a disadvantage is that by using multi-camera it could cost more as they have to use more camera's and hire more people to film the match.

Aesthetic - Concerts (Sam Smith & John Legend)
The visual style and mode of address of this concert is quite slow and calm as the song is also slow and calm and you can see this from the time code 0:24 as the shot is an establishing shot of the studio and the movement is a slow crane this sets the mood for the audience as slow and calm were as if they were to use a whip crane the atmosphere would be connoted as lively and fast paced. This concert maintains the viewers interests as the camera movements and cuts are quite slow so it keeps the audience involved as they get a feeling of how the mood of the song is supposed to be and also how the artist's singing are feeling whilst performing to the audience, at the time for example at the time code 0:47 - 0:51 it is a close up of Sam smith with the camera slowly moving towards him. This concert is communicating meaning to the viewer as the camera movement is very slow paced and at the time code 1:02 you see a close up of Sam Smith and he looks like his eyes are watering this could connote to the viewers that what he is singing means quite a lot to him and the audience could then feel how he feels, however if there was only one camera they would not be able to communicating meaning to the viewer's as there would only be one shot and not close up's of his face.
Practical 
One practical reason for this concert using multi-camera is the coverage of action and this means getting all the action that happens in several different shots without missing anything, for example at the time code 1:02 you see the close up of Sam Smiths face looking like he is about to cry and by having multi-camera it is engaging the audience more as they can see how much it means to him, were as if they only had one camera they would not be able to show the artists are feeling during the performance. The studio is a significant size which means that they would have to use multi-camera so that they can get more than on shot of the artists and the audience and host, for example at the time code 0:24 there is an establishing shot of the studio which then moves into a crane that shows the audience, the stage and the artists, however if they one had one camera they would not be able to show the size of the studio and were the audience are. This concert has to be filmed using multi-camera as it is live, which means that once something has happened they cannot go back and record it again as it is not something that can be done again, for example at the time code 2:38 you see John Legend showing a lot of emotion and you could not stop recording and tell him to show that emotion again as it is not acted out. The advantage of using multi-camera for this is that you can cover a lot of different places in the studio and also get different shots of the performers, however a disadvantage of this is that they would have to spend more money as there will be more people working the camera's to make the show more engaging for the audience.

Aesthetic - Public Event (Mandela Funeral) 
The visual style and mode of address of this public event is formal as there are no fancy camera movements, for example at the time code 0:41 it is an establishing shot of the air field, however there is no movement that goes closer to the plane of the people taking the coffin out , there is just a slow cut to connote that this is a formal public event. This is maintaining the viewer's interests as at the time code 2:52 it is a close up of the family all sitting down and this can maintain the viewers interests as they could imagine how upsetting it must be for the family to know that he is dead and also to see the coffin, also at the time code 3:48 you see the men with the guns and this can maintain the viewers interest as they can see how appreciated Mandela was to the country.This public event communicates meaning to the viewers by showing the close up of the family and friends at the time code 2:52 as it shows to the viewers that this is a sad time for the family and friends of Mandela and also at the time code 4:58 you see another close up of the family and you can see how upset they look which could connote to the viewers that Mandela meant a lot to them and it is something that is upsetting. 
Practical 
This public event used multi-camera so that it cover the action during the funeral, and this was to cover everything that went on during the funeral, for example at the time code 3:07 you see the men with the coffin by the car and without using multi-camera they would not be able to get that shot and have another shot as well as the family in a close up at the time code 2:52. The airport is quite large which means that they had to use multi-camera to get different shot types and movements for example at the beginning time code 0:46 there is an establishing shot which then moves on to a close up of the men rolling the coffin, and if they only had one camera it would not be possible to do that without having to stop recording and possible miss important parts. This public event had to be filmed using multi-camera as it is live and without having multi-camera they would not be able to get important footage without missing it by using single camera, for example with the footage of the family looking depresses time code 4:58 you could not stop recording something else and then tell the family to look depressed again as it would not look realistic enough for the viewers watching. The advantage of using multi-camera is that you can get a lot of shots that would have been missed by using one camera, however by using multi-camera they producers would have to pay more people as more camera's would have to be operated to get full action coverage.

Aesthetic - Game Shows (Total Wipeout)
The visual style and mode of address of this show is quite fast paced and exciting, for example at the time code 0:08 - 0:17, there are a lot of fast cuts which makes the show look more exciting and fun for the viewers that are watching and also the camera movement is quite fast so it makes it more exciting for the viewers as they would think that the show is going to be exciting.This show maintains the viewers interests by showing how determined the participants are at the beginning, for example at the time code 3:06 you see the first girl and how determined she looks, they also maintain the viewers interests by showing them once they did not pass the course and how they feel about it for example at the time code 6:38, it also makes the viewers want to watch this show by having the fast cuts which makes it more engaging for the audience to watch as there is not the same shot on the screen for a long period of time. This show  communicates meaning to the viewers as once someone has fallen off of something they repeat it several times for example at the time code 8:12 so that the audience watching can feel the pain and can also be entertained by how they fell which will engage them to watch more of the game show as there could be more things like that happening during the show.  
Practical 
This show uses multi-camera for few practical reasons, one of which being coverage of action and this is being able to cover all the action that is going on in the show, for example at the time code 8:08 you see the player falling, and if the show did not use multi camera they would not be able to get all the different angles to reply the fall several times to make it look painful for the viewers watching. Where the show is placed outside it is very large as there are different courses that the players have to get through, for example at the time code 1:08 you see a establishing shot which moves around to show you the other parts of the course and then a shots of the other course if they pass the first one, however if there was only one camera they would not be able to get different shots of the course and different parts of the courses and of the hosts and players participating. This show has to be filmed using multi-camera as it is live and if someone falls funny or does a funny dance before they start, you could not stop recording and tell them to do it again so you can record again from a different angle as it would not look realistic, for example at the time code 3:19 you see the host laughing and if you only had one camera you could not stop recording and tell her to laugh again as it would not be realistic. The advantage of using multi-camera is that the producers have more shots to chose from when editing the footage to make it look more interesting for the viewers, however by having too much footage the producers may be in two split minds on what shot to use or could choose the wrong type of shot for the scene being played at the time.

Aesthetic -  Chat Show (Jeremy Kyle)
The visual style and mode of address of this show depends on the atmosphere the producer is looking for so if there was an argument there is a lie detector result the camera stays on the person for quite a while to make it more tense for the audience watching, for example at the time code 4:14 till 4:21 the shot changes several times so that it is more interesting and engaging for the audience watching at home. The Jeremy Kyle show maintains the viewers interest as they show close ups of the host, the audience and also the people that have come on the show to find out things about each other, by seeing the close ups of Jeremy Kyle's face when reading out a lie detector result the audience can get a distinct feeling to what Jeremy Kyle is going to say to the people on the show, for example at the time code 4:35 you see a close up of Jeremy Kyle whilst listening to the two girls arguing. This chat show communicates meaning to the viewers by showing the close ups, of Jeremy Kyle to see his reaction to the results for example at the time code 5:12 ,you see Jeremy Kyle's face once speaking to the girls on stage this then gives the viewer more of a feeling of what Jeremy Kyle is feeling.
Practical 
The chat show Jeremy Kyle uses multi-camera for several different practical reasons, one of which is coverage of action, at the time code 2:09 you can see the audience reaction to what one of the girls said, however if there was only one camera you would not be able to see the audience reaction, by this chat show having various angles you can get all the detailed shots recorded the same time as the other shots which then makes it more interesting for the viewers at home watching for example at the time code 1;43 the shot changes from close up to a two shot and then at the time code 1:48 you then see Jeremy Kyle waiting for the girl to answer his question. The constraints on the studio is that it is large and that people tend to run around the studio which then means that they have to use more than one camera so that they can get all the detail needed to keep the viewers watching the show for example at the time code 1:52 you see the fiance looking quite angry and then see Jeremy Kyle and one of the girls , however if they only had one camera it would be hard to get everyone reactions as you can not stop recording as it is not something that has been rehearsed. They would also use multi camera so that they can get a full shot of the studio for example at the time code 0:31 you see a full shot of the studio. The Jeremy Kyle show has to be filmed using multi-camera as it is a live show, the reason for this is because once a piece of action has happened, you can not stop it and go back to it as it is not been rehearsed for example at the time code 2:09 you see the audience reaction and you could not stop and record it again as it would not look realistic and the viewers would think that it is acted out. The advantage of using multi-camera is that it makes the program more engaging for the viewers were as if you only had one camera it would boring, however the disadvantage of using multi-camera in a chat show is that there are a lot of camera's on the same shot to choose from and the director could chose a shot that does not give the audience any communication to how that person is feeling. 

Aesthetic - Magazine Show (106 & Park)
The visual style and mode of address for this show is calm and relaxed and informal and we can see this from the slow and calm cuts that are being made, for example at the time code 0:08 - 0:13 the cut is slow and calm so it makes the viewers feel relaxed whilst watching the programme and this is the atmosphere that the producers want for the audience watching at home. This maintains the viewers interests as the cuts have been done so that the viewers can see the reaction to what the other person has said for example at the time code 0:11 - 0:14 you see Ray J say something to Erica Mena and then you see her reaction and this maintains the viewers interests as they can see what the person is actually thinking at that specific time. This magazine show communicates meaning to the viewers as at the time code 0:19 you see Erica Mena moving her hands and rolling her eyes a lot and this could connote to the viewers that she is quite frustrated and annoyed however she smiles so she could also be happy so by having multi-camera the viewers can visually see different expressions on the people who are on the shows face to get a idea on how they feel which also makes them more engaged in the programme as they know how she is feeling at the time whilst the show is going on.
Practical 
This magazine show uses multi-camera for coverage of action as when using several camera's the producers can get several different shots and shot types which then means they can use different shots to mean different things, for example at the time code 0:26 the camera follows round the stage whilst the host is speaking which makes it more tense as it is moving quite slow, however if there was only one camera they would not be able to do that as they would only have one camera on the interview itself. The studio is a significant size which means that multi-camera is the better option as if there was only one camera they would not be able to switch from the host to shots of them both together to the audience for example at the time code 0:46 the camera movement is low and then comes closer to the hosts sitting on the chairs, however if there was only one camera they would not be able to do that as the audience would feel to far from the hosts, this also makes the viewers feel more engaged as the camera gets closer to the hosts as they are closer to them. This magazine show has to be filmed using multi-camera as it is live which means that once something has happened or someone has said something and someone is laughing they can not stop recording and tell them to do that action again as it would not be realistic, for example at the time code 0:57 Erica Mena is thinking and if she got told to do that face again it would not look realistic as she would be trying to put it on. The advantages of filming this show using multi-camera is that the producers can get the reactions of the people from different shots and angles which they can chose from to make it more interesting and engaging for the audience, however a negative to using multi-camera is that it will cost a lot more as they have to get more people to operate all of the camera's needed.

Aesthetic - Talent Show (BGT Live)
The visual style and mode of address for this show is quite tense and we can see this from the time code 0:27 as the camera is moving quite slow and is staying on the people for quite a while to make the shots look more tense for the viewers watching on the TV, this will be more engaging for the audience as they will want to know what is going to happen during this show. This show maintains the viewers interests as throughout the programme there are different shots of the judges and hosts and people participating in the talent show this makes it more interesting for the audience as the shots change and are not on the same shot for the whole programme for example at the time code 0:26 till 0:38 the shot changes several times, however if there was only one camera they would not be able to record all these things whilst getting the reaction needed. This show communicates meaning to the viewers as when its a close up of a judge or the audience or the person participating the viewers watching can visually see by the peoples facial expressions how they are feeling about the performance or decision made for example at the time code 1:35 you see the groups reaction to not getting through, and from this the audience can see that the group was happy that they made it that far and was not to upset about what had just happened.
Practical 
This talent show uses multi-camera for several different reasons on of which being coverage of action and this is so that whilst a performance is going on or whilst the judges are making a decision they can get all different reactions at the same time, for example at the time code 1:44 you see the woman and man looking nervouse as he shakes her which gets the viewers more engaged in the programme as they can relate to how they are feeling, however if there was only one camera they would not be able to get the different reactions at the same time. The arena is a large size which means that they have to use multi-camera to get every detail in the show for example at the time code 0:16 you see a close up cran of the stage, however if there was only one camera they would not be able to do it which would make the programme less engaging for the viewers watching. This talent show has to be filmed using multi-camera as it is live which means that to get all the details and reactions needed they could not use single camera as they would have to stop recording and miss some important reactions to get different shots of the show for example at the time code 5:20 you see the groups reaction to winning the BGT 2014 finals and you could not stop recording and go to a close up of one of the judges and say can you do that reaction again as it would not be realistic. The advantages of using multi-camera is that the producers will get a lot of footage to choose from to make the show more interesting and engaging for the audience, however a disadvantage to using multi-camera is that it will cost more money as they have to get more people to operate the camera and also there are a lot of shots to choose from which could mean that the producers could choose the wrong shot for a certain scene.
