Treatment

Programme format

My show is going to be set up like soccer am. Although it isnt about music i will use the same style with how they plan out the show the layout of the scene and competitions but change the football theme with music. I have chosen to make my show around this because i enjoy wathcing it and think that they running order is good and so is the studio layout.

Title of show

 Music morning.
The title of my show is music morning. I have chosen to call it this because it in the title it says everything about the show which is that its a music show that is on in the morning. Also the title is quite catchy and easy to remember.

Content ideas

One idea is that there would be an interview with a guest on the show. they would talk about the artists most recent song, previous songs, what their lifestyles like, future ambitions and have a general discussion. this would show viewers what the guest is really like and show more of their actual personality.

Another idea is that there will be a music top to chart. so the presenters will recap what the top 10 for the previous week is and then talk about the current top 10. This will iform viewers how current artists are doing and what songs they have it will also help with the music element of the show.

Another idea is a whos hot and whos not question session. because both presenters are girls they would talk about things like this and it will show the audeince what couples are together and wll give the audeince to chance to chose whether they thhink the celebrity relationship is 'hot' or 'not'. The presenters will then read out the results of this and also give their opinions.

Another idea is that there will be a live call in where the public can call in and ask any questions to the guest. this is a good way to interact with the audience and it also helps the presenters in case they run out of any questions. the only problem for this would be that it cant be live so they call ins would have to be pre recorded and then inserted into the footage after.

Studio design

The design of the studio would be what u typically expect to see on a show like this. Their will be two directors chairs for the two presenters and a sofa for the guest. Their will be a little table inbetween the presenters and the guest to show that they are not together.

Sketch of background
 The background of the studio will just be a wall with a poster in the middle with the programmes logo. Their will also be some other posters of some music artists to show the show is about music. this will be to show more elements of music. also their will be the logo of the show on mugs that the presenters will have and also on the bacl of their clipboards.

Visual style
 There will be three cameras but only two camera operators so each camera will be set up in different positions. their will be one camera in the middle and it will be set up in a long shot position so that we can see most of the studio and the two presenters and the guest. This will show the audeince what the surrounding looks like.
There will be another camera set up in a mid shot position facing towards the guest so that we can see their facial and body expressions when answering questions. it will also show clearly who is talking.
And finally there will be a camera set up in a mid shot position filming both prsenters. This will also show facial and body expressions of both presenters and show clearly who is talking.

The style in which this is edited will be quite simple as it will just be cuts from mainly two different cameras. for example the camera will shoting the two prsenters when they are talking then cut to the other camera filming the guest when they respond. The middle camera that is set up in a long shot position will be used wehenever the presenters are talking to the audience. when the show starts in the beginning and the two presenters are in the studio the long shot camera will be zoomed out and it will zoom in while the prsenters are talking untill it is in a perfect position. and then when the showing is ending and the two presenters are saying bye the middle camera will zoom out. Righ at the beginning when one of the presenters is briefly tellng the audience what is happening on the show outside the studio the camera used to film that will be the camera that will be filming the guest because the guest will not be coming on untill later on in the show so it gives a little time to put the camera back into position and set it up, where as the other two cameras are going to be filming straight away.

Presentation style

There have been two presenters chosen for this piece of work and they are Morgan and Shriya. They both are very talkative so they can talk about alot of things during the show and they are good friends so their is chemistry between them. Also they can talk to anyone because they have that skill so they could get a good interview out of a guest that may appear on the show. So the presentation style would be very conversational like they ae two good friends just having a general conversation.

Assignment 1 the basics

Lots of different genres of television shows use multi camera format for many different reasons. i am going to talk about the practical and aesthetic reasons why shows use multi camera format. The seven different genres i am going to talk about are Live sport, concerts, Public Events, Game sows, Chart shows, Magazine shows and talent shows.

Live


Live sports




Live sport use multi camera format because it is live and not pre recorded so they people in charge of the show have to make sure they capture every thing while it happens therefore its benefitial they multi camera format. A practical reason for using multi camera format is that because where they are filming is such a big location they cannot have one camera go around the hole location it would be more practical if they had many cameras in different areas of the location filming. for example in this clip the location is huge so they would need more than one camera o get shots from each part of the location.
Another practical reason for using multi camera format is that you can get audience reactions and with single camera format you cant. this is because with single camera format you would have to film the main footage rather than the audience and being able to show audience reaction gives more realism and looks better for the viewer because it feels live. for example in this clip when the Brock Lesnar returns immediately the camera shows shots of the audience to show their reaction.

Aesthetic reasons for this would be that having more than one camera in a big location looks better and because its live you cant go and film shots again. so for example in this clip you see shots from in the ring, the ramp, the stage, the audience and facial expressions of the two main characters. this makes it more interesting and eye catching and it also tells more of a story for the viewer because they can see the location and what is going on at different locations at the same time as well as it being live.
Another aesthetic reason is that multi camera format enables the viewer to see audience reaction. this makes the live footage feel as if you are there for the viewer at home and also makes it more engaging for the audience. also in this clip it makes the viewer understand how important and exciting it is that this wrestler has returned because it shows the audiences reaction and this just makes the footage look so much better.


Concerts






A practical reason for having multi camera format at a live concert is because in concerts the artist preforming often tends to move around alot or dance or maybe even have dancers, and one camera is not going to capture what the artist and the dancers are doing at the same time. this is why it is important to use multi camera format especially in a live event where you cant go back and film stuff that has been missed.
Another practical reason for using multi camera format is that you can see other things that are going on apart from the performance. using one camera to capture other things that are going on would look unprofessional.

An aesthetic reason for using multi camera format is that it looks better when the person is dancing to have different angles or shots and movement. its more eye catching and will engage the viewer more and it is difficult to do using only one camera.
Another aesthetic reason for using multi camera format is that showing other things that are going on apart from the preformance saves the footage from becoming boring because they wont be seeing the same thing through out the whole length of the show. so this makes the footage look better and it can only be done using multi camera format.

Public events







A practical reason for using multi camera model at a public event is that there may be a number of different locations used. for example in this clip it is a funeral and there are many different locations used such as the road and the route to the church, inside the church, and the cemetery. it is more practical to have more than one camera for this type of programming because taking one camera around to this many locations is hard and trying to get good angles for each shot will be extremely difficult.
Another practical reason is that so they dont miss anything because it is live so they can have cameras on the main subject which is the funeral but they could alsoo have cameras on people to see their reactions, other things to do with the funeral or decorations. this way they will have shots of everything.

An aesthetic reason for using multi camera format is that for example the journey the car takes to move the coffin from the church to the cemetery would be quite boring and the viewer may switch off if it is one shot throughout the hole journey so they would have a number of different cameras filming the journey from different angles.
Another aesthetic reason why they would use multi camera format to show different locations and decorations is so that the footage looks better with lots of camera angles, shots and movements with a wide range of different locations.


Studio


Game shows






A practical reason why this show uses multi camera format is that the scene is quite wide and one camera wont capture the whole scene properly. it also wont be as effective because it will be hard to identify who is speaking and also we will not be able to see facial expressions.
Another practical reason why this show uses multi camera format is that so each camera can show, each table, the host, every contestant and the audience. this is so it shows clearly who is talking. also it is impossible to show each of these people live when they are speaking with just one camera.
An aesthetic reason for using multi camera format and showing each person talking is so it more engaging and exciting for the audience because they will be able to see who is talking and when and they will be able to catch reactions from other contestants as it happens and finally they can see everyone facial expressions. it would be extremely difficult to catch all these moments using just one camera live.
Another aesthetic reason for using multi camera format is that using more than one camera and cutting from host to contestant when questions are being asked is more effective and will be more eye catching for the viewer. it also goes with what is going on in the show because it will keep the camera on the speaker.

Chat shows




A practical reason for using multi camera format in a studio is that they will have a wide variety or camera angles and shots for each scene so when it comes to editing it to make the final piece they will have a good choice in shots. also on a show like this one the conversations are on sensitive topics so they will need more than one camera on each person to show facial expressions or body language.
Another reason could be that because its in a studio and its live they will want more than one angle of everything that is happening so when they edit its more adventurous but because it live they cant record the same thing twice so they will need multi camera format in order to get a wide range of camera angles and shots for each moment.
An aesthetic reason for using multi camera format  is that by having a wide variety of different shots for everything that append when recording they can edit it to make the show look more eye catching and keep the camera on each person that is talking by cutting to the person that is talking when they talk.
Another reason is that when having lots of different angles to show body language and facial expressions this will show the audience how the person feels and the audience want to see how they feel when answering questions about their lives so this will show them how they feel and it will make the viewer feel as if they are seeing it with their own eyes.







A practical reason why talent shows use multi camera format is because they may have more than one location for example in Britain got talent they have around five. outside in the ques, inside in the ques, backstage, in the waiting room and on stage. And it will be hard to get all these locations filmed live with just one camera.
Another reason is that they will want to capture everything that happens so they will have more than one camera filming the act in case it shows a what they are doing in a better angle. they cant go and film the act again and get a  shot from a different angle because it is live.
An aesthetic reason for showing more than one location and using more cameras is that it shows the audience the set more so they can visualize and imagine what it is like their. they can also go on the journey from outside the arena where the show is held to preforming the act.
Another reason  they may use multi camera format is because if they show better angles of what is happening live the audience will be able to see and understand and get a better view of e what is going on on the stage.
