Production Meeting Reflection 2

This week, I worked on making a list of 10 hazards that could happen during the filming of the show surrounding all three of the cameras and how I think they can be avoided or if not controlled and to go with that 10 pictures of each of the possible hazards. And lastly I sat down with Jasmeet the director, Prinul, the floor manager and Ellie and we went over where the camera are officially going to be and we decided that
There was no problems regarding my work as it was pretty easy and didn't take that long. This week as everyone seemed to be working pretty well together and there was no arguments between us which is really good and will keep us as a unit together.Hopefully there will be no arguments next week or the week after that. Next week I will be creating a PowerPoint which will show the different camera's shots/angles and where i think they should be on the live day and again to go with that 10 pictures of the shots using a camera. Also I will be working with the VT operator to create a couple scenes for the street beat in which Jada, one of the presenters would go out and talk to members of the public which will be portrayed myself,  Prabhjyot and Ellie, to ask them a few questions about a few music videos, this is to happen on Tuesday during the morning as to make sure no one would ruin the shots.

Production Meeting Reflection 1

In this production meeting, we went over why we though where each of our ideas were good and where they were not as good we did this by sitting around a table and discussing each of our ideas and giving a brief  feedback and vote who's idea we liked the most.

The group responded to my idea in what I thought was a good response, they said that they liked the name 'Tweet that,' which they said was different and appealed to a young audience that was stated in the brief.
They also said that they liked all my games as they were unique and extravagant particularly the guess the nose game which they said sounded fun.

Having read all the handouts for everyone's pitches, I decided that Jada's idea was the best as she had a detailed layout and running order and the title 'the beat,' was a strong idea.However I feel that some of her games were not as good as mine, as they were used a lot in other shows.

I think that Taylor's game which was called 'who am I' was good because it seemed like a good fit into a music based show as she stated that the faces would be of the artist.
I think that my ideas 'box office,' 'Random News,' and ' Da charts' should be incorporated in the final idea as this could a way of getting real life news into a viewer's head which is good for them, The box office and Da charts for anyone so they know what the top songs and movies.
Overall the meeting was productive.

this is my 10 risks form

Task 2b

 

Programme Format
I have chosen for my show to be topical, entertaining show, I chose topical because the show has a basic news broadcast which is random news and entertaining as can be considered a games show as well.

Title of the show

The title of the show will be called 'Tweet that!' the reason i chose to use that name is because the show will be highly based on the website twitter and the different tweets that people post.

Content Ideas

• I have a few ideas for content, my first idea is Tweet of the day, which will choosing the best tweet of the day and quoting it on the show, the reason i decided this should be on the show is because the show is going to be based highly on the website twitter. I got this idea from the BBC radio 4 as they do the same thing but they use their own tweets instead of random ones.

• Top Internet video

The top internet video idea is basically showing a video that everyone in the crew though was the funniest and/or most strange.The idea is based on 'Machinima' from YouTube as they do a different version of the idea but instead of 3 video we will just be using one as three videos will take up a bit to much time.

On the right is a short video which is Machinima's version of my idea which includes instead of 1, 3 videos.with this segment the host/s will know nothing about the video being chosen so their reactions to the video will 

• Guess that nose

Guess that nose will be a simply game based on the contestants trying to guess what nose belongs to who, this idea is based on Kiss FM UK's idea which they used to do on FaceBook. This game will uses the noses of any kind of iconic person/character, ranging from video game characters to statues. For example host/s would show a picture of a nose then the contestants would try to guess whose nose is who's. on the right i have an image of Barack Obama If the game was being played only the nose would be shown and and the contestants would guess and if they get it right an image of Barack Obama would be shown. The idea of this would be to see how much people know about celebrities and their noses. 

• Da charts

Da charts is an idea that most music/magazine TV shows have which will go over what the top of the charts of that certain time are. for example the host/s will go over what song was, for example if the to song was Chris brown-the motto, then a short clip from the song with the chorus will be played. The reason i have decided to incorporate this idea is because i thought that having a TV show about music would be complete without a  segment like this.

• Box office

The box office will be a segment based on what movie is at the top of the box office that week, this idea will have certain small clips from the movies with a date from when it came out. I think that is idea would be useful as alot of teenagers would watch the show and like to hear what movies would be really useful for them so they can hear about what movies are the best and what movies aren't doing good.

Random News!

I will be creating a new segment which will be about the different news and gossip about celebrities, this will be more about gossip and rumors as most people are interested in rumour but will have some news about anything.The reason i have chosen to use this segment is that I wanted to have an actual news section for people who want to hear about the news as well as hearing about the rumors.



The Big Quiz

The big quiz will be a simple quiz with 3 questions in which the contestants have to get right the winner will get a simple cheap prize.

Studio design

I have chosen to have the style the set, the green screen at the back, the sofa for the host/s and the guest/s facing the table and the table in the middle for the two. The reason i chose this layout is because i feel as if it is most used, in a lot of shows magazine shows the stage is set in the same way.

Sketch of background

I have created a background which will be on the green screen, I have chosen this as the show is a music show, and it would be fitting to have a music note as the background.









Visual Style

i want the visual style to be cool while still being profession, so like instead of the host/s looking very smart and fancy like the picture on the left i want them to look relaxed and casual like the picture below.

















Presentation Style

I want the presentation style to have a sense of seriousness with a hint of light hearted humor, by this i mean i want the show to be relaxed but at the same time to be very strict when a segment is going to overlap another one.

Multicamera Job Roles

In this post I will be going over each of ten jobs that I could possible be doing during the live day and I will explain each and every job, what they do and what duties and skills the job requires or needs to be acquired during training for it. Duties are tasks that have to be done which are like coming on time and rely more on working all day every day, and Skills are things that someone must learn or a part of their personality like naturally funny, smart not camera shy, et cetera.

Camera Operator

The camera operator has to read and understand the script as if they don't understand the script then they cant shoot the film with full knowledge of whats happening next, also with this talking to the director about all the aspects of the script would be helpful too. The also need to recce all the locations to check the safety, for the camera and equipment for the camera, this would be done with the lighting crew and the floor manager as they all work together a lot when filming, as they work on making the show more realistic. The camera operator also need to be able to review all the set plans as they need to know where everything is going, they also need to have a knowledge of camera heads they know what camera head to use with what shot and with that needs to be able to carry out tests before shooting to check that all the equipment is up to date and working well, Lastly when filming the camera man could be hard headed when filming, as when they are filming other members of the crew will tell them what shot to use (long shot, mid shot etc.) but they camera operator should know what shots to use.

Sound mixing
Sound mixing is there to make sure the sound on a show is perfect so that it sound profession,
They need to ensure the sound quality is perfect before filming so that there is no loss of viewers because of sound issues. they need to use the best equipment money can be because if they spend a lot of money on the top equipment they can earn the most money through because of the better quality of videos the more viewers wanna watch it.
 
Vision Mixing
The vision mixing is to there to make sure the video balance, brightness etc is fine for playing a clip. They must be able to work on multiple different mixing desk and be able to know what does what, they need to have a good understanding what is going on where, they need to stay relaxed but yet be able to react to any situation and preform well under any pressure. They also need to have good levels of concentration and be able to respond to the cues from the director if anything goes wrong, they need to have the pride to take the work on anything that might cause problems later on while filming live, and lastly they need to be able to multitask.

Director

The director has to have many Duties and Skills, such as; Showing Up On early I think that this Skill is very useful for a Director to have as they need to be at the location which is going to be filmed before everyone else as without the director there would be no one to direct the film and force the cast and crew would lose a day of filming. Act within the power of the company, this is a duty is forced on the directors, every company will have their own rules. The director has to follow this rules and constraints contained in the company's rules. The director has to use the power assigned to the them by shareholders for the good of the company.(accaglobal) The general duties, A duty of the director is to act in to benefits to company and not for the benefit of any other clienteles. The companies would come first, Understanding this makes it tranquil to decide how to behave when there’s several different involved clients with inconsistent ideas. This even relates to companies run by one individual, which means this that one stockholder or director could not put ideas above the companies.(accaglobal) A film director visualizes the script, controlling a film's artistic and dramatic aspects, while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of their vision. A movie director is incharge of all creative seans Much of what you see in school and on television is actually filmed. So there are many opportunities for a film director. Commercials, television programs, independent films, industrial films, educational and government films, and documentaries just to name a few. The Director has many duties, some of which are simply to visualize the script which would be them thinking about how the script will look, allowing them to work with the floor manger to create a set that looks believable. The director also has think strategically, they cant just choose anything and say it works, they have to create several different versions of the same shot and make sure it looks right.(wiki.answers)

Set designer 
The set designer has the present designs for to check for improvement as directed as they have to work on the set with the floor manger, the camera and lighting crew and the director and the presenter. They also have to choose what furniture looks like a real set so that the set looks aesthetically pleasing to the viewers.They have to console the leaders of the show/film about costs, organize times to film or work on the set and discuss other plans of the set.They need to ask other staff to help create other designs e.g. sketches drawings, animation etc of their idea of the set to help create other ideas that would look really good, and implement them to the actual set. The Set designer also has to make sure that all the props and scenery is not messed with or moved to block the view of the camera so that the camera can film all of it, and they must go over the script to determine location, the set and the requirement to decorate, and they have to estimate all of the cost for this.

Lighting Desk
The lighting desk's jobs and roles are to be skilled in the area of lighting desk as if they do not know much about the machine they cant work with it. They also need to set up, fit and use the lighting equipment, and if need be take everything down, they need to also work on making sure that all the lights work correctly.
They also need to make sure that the lights are safely rigged up and they need to be able to fix any thing wrong with the lights.

Floor Manger

The floor manger has to check that all the equipment are working correctly before the show, as if it doesn't work, the show will not be able to work properly. They need to refer to the floor plan a lot as they need to know where every goes,They need to be giving cues to the actors, and they over see everything the work of the other sectors of the crew as they can help others work, keeping the crew on time and keeping the director informed of off-camera action, managing safety requirements, timings and what happens during this and what will be aired when. Lastly cooperating with staff to agree with who will be interviewed and lastly passing the information reports from the events to the presenters.


Graphics generation

Graphic generations will create all the graphics for the event, they will need to work on it every day, as it needs to be to the best of the ability, they need to be able to work on it everyday and they need to spend as much time as possible on it. they need to have amazing art design and they need to work with the group, they must be able to choose the best matter and style and work to allowance and time limit and use the best computer software to do it, and be able to show sketches to the everyone else and lastly be able to create the final layout with perfect specification.

VT Operator

A VT operator has the job of cutting to a clip or video, him/her paired with the vision and video mixer  working together to make the video look amazing, this job needs absolute focus with this job as focus allows them to concentrate when they are needed, they need to have a knowledge of what video clip is so they can play it at the right moment and they also need to know whats going on in the TV show so they can be prepared for play clips, They also must have a amazing sense on hearing so they can focus on when something needs to be done, they also need to have an impeccable sense of time as they need to be sure they are cutting at the right time.

Presenter

The presenter is the host of the show, they are filmed all the time and is there to go through everything they need to, known as the face of the show, the presenter has to learn their lines other wise they could make or break the show meaning they could get the line perfectly right or they could say the wrong line and allow the show to lose viewers,the presenter, depending on what the show is may need to humorous or need to be able to speak with a clear voice, able to speak with pausing or missing lines of dialogue, they need to be able to think quickly and be learn about what they are going to talk about, this allows them to add any extra fact, or even their opinions in the show within reason,
I think that the director is at the top of the pyramid of power followed by the presenter, camera operator, set designer then the floor manager and the lighting desk together ,next the vision & video mixing and the graphic generation  and lastly the VT operator.
