Multi-camera production

Programme format

Title of show

Bangers&Mash 

The reason why I have decided with this as an idea for the name for the show is because it is able to relate to a 14-20 audience due to today's slang as "bangers" could be associated with music itself while "mash" can be associated with music mash ups such as remixes etc. The style of font for name of this show is bold and I think the red background allows it to be more in your face, and too keep it having a music theme to it I decided to add guitar leads. The contrast between black and red allows the font to be brought out more and also presents the show itself, red representing the show to be daring etc.

Jukebox

The reason why I decided on this name for the show is because it suggests to the audience that the show discusses a wide variety of music and that the audience is able to gather a lot of information about music and artists. The typography on this image relates to music due the typography is placed upon a guitar string set and comes across quite natural and bold due to the colour of the jukebox brings out the typography more.

Content ideas

 Presenters

During the show there will be two presenters one male and one female so that it is able to relate to a wider teenage audience as if it was just two male presenters the show would only really relate to males, while with having both genders it is able to have the interests of both male and female,also on the show the presenters shall be interviewing around two guests. Also on the show it could include a talking puppet which could be created out of random bits and bobs that matches the theme of the show (music) and also is able to  answer the audiences questions and is also in charge of the competitions etc, but the default with this would be its more likely to be aimed  for a child audience, so the puppet would have to have teenage like features etc. This would be able to relate the audience as for them it would make the show more entertaining and also creates an image for the show as well as keeping the audience engaged.

           

Example of the chubby bunny challenge. I think this would be able to relate to a teenage audience as teenagers are influenced by what they see on shows etc and they also enjoy trying new activities and also I think this would make the show a lot more entertaining with the presenters and guest joining in.

Guest

The guests that will be interviewed would have be the artist themselves or actors who featured in the new music videos which  will be shown throughout the show and the presenters will be asking them questions about their music career and also get the audience involved by tweeting questions that they want answered and after the discussion of music, it can move up a level and the audience is able to ask any type of questions they want the guests to answer. 

Competition


Examples of type of clothing and accessories the guests
could put on for the competition

When it approaches the competition area of the show it involves the presenter asking the guest questions but the guests have to answer the questions as quick as possible and each time they get one right they have to add another layer of clothing on being that the clothing could consist of strange clothes and objects and the audience is able to get involved by using social media to contact the show and take a guess of how many items of clothing the guest is able to put on within the time limit and the one with the closest answer wins the competition.  Also with the competition stage there could be a variety of different challenges such as the cotton ball challenge, chubby bunny challenge etc and this part of the show would have been pre-recorded, the reason why this would relate to a teenage audience is because teenagers like to be entertained in ridiculous ways so doing strange challenges is a way to keep them engaged.


Audience
The target audience is from 14-20 year old,so for a show based around music for that age range is quite difficult as there is a wide variety of music and different types of teenagers which this show must be able to relate to. But, I think that a way to be able to relate to the majority of British teens is to include on the show forgettable moments and events that will be able to keep the audience entertained throughout the show with the latest music headlines with a few games in between.

Running order

The running order of the show will firstly consist of the graphics which is the introduction to the show and then it will go into the guests and them introducing themselves and the guest. It will then cut to the line-up of the show, which consists of glimpses of the competitions, and make it aesthetically pleasing to the audience and showing glimpses of the show that will capture there attention and make them want to keep watching the show . After that it will go back to the presenters to where they introduce the guest and then begin to ask them questions about their music career etc, after some questions have been asked it will cut to the artists music video and that will run for a few seconds or the full length of the video and after that is when the audience is able to tweet in questions for the artist and that is when that part begins. After some tweets it will turn to this weeks top 5 music videos, so that the audience is able to get the latest news and after that it will turn to a break and the graphics of the show will come up. When the show returns the show will either have the same guest or another one sitting with the previous guest and they will be given questions to answer as well , then shortly after it will turn to the competition section of the show which will either focus around the puppet in charge of it or the presenters. The competition that will take place shall be the clothe changing challenge which will happen on the set and then after that has finished the presenters will introduce their weekly challenge which was pre-recorded and that challenge will be the chubby bunny challenge. Soon after the pre-recording there will be a few  more questions and then it will be the ending of the show.

Studio design

sketch of background

Floor plan sketch, the orange chair is where the guest shall sit
and the blue chairs is where the presenters will sit. The grey
square is a table and the circle is a fish bowl. The black
rectangles is the background billboards which will
have a layout as the image beneath.

The background for the set will have billboards that are covered around the studio and in the centre will be the presenters and guests and on these backgrounds there will be music related images such as famous artists,instruments or just a collage of the names of different genres of music etc. The guests and presenters will be sitting on couches facing each other and in the middle of them shall be a table with the shows logo on it with a fish bowl. The reason why the studio is set up like this is because the layout allows the presenters and guest to feel comfortable with each other and creates a calm atmosphere as they are able to keep eye-contact with each other and engage in the conversation at hand more freely. Also the layout of the set needs to be visually pleasing to a teenage audience, as if the set consisted of a plain dark background and didn't have much colour it wouldn't attract a teenage audience but a much older one.

suitable for a magazine programme

A background I made of what could be on the billboards of
the set, which are behind the presenter and guest.

Visual style

         

Short breaks

I think during the show it would be quite cool to have short animation clips such as at 1:13 as I think it would make the show a lot more enjoyable to watch as long as the animation has a lot fast paced movement and have a sort of illustration theme to it, just like T4 as personally I think it makes the show a lot more keen on watching as each animation sketch is different and with that in the show it could represent each section of the show. Such as before when the show plays the latest music videos it could cut to a small animation of a small animated character sitting in the cinema with a remote control and then clicking the remote which then leads in to the music video clips.  But the style of short animation must include a colour and illustration that is able to relate to teenagers such as having a urban tone to it, but not to urban that it creates an urban audience, colours and backgrounds such as the images below.

Graphics

The graphics for the show should be bold and have some colour in them, as this is a show aimed for 14-20 year old and if there isn't really much colour then it seems like it is aiming for a much older audience which would present the show to be more formal, so that is why the graphics should be colourful, bold and eye-catching. Also with the graphics when the presenters appear on the screen small captions should come up underneath them and this also apply s for the guests as well.

 

Camera movement

The camera movement for the show needs to be quite slow because it needs to be able to witness the reactions of the presenters and guest enough so that they audience are able to be able to understand whats happening etc while if there was a lot of fast paced movement it would look scatty and become confusing for the audience as this isn't a fast paced show but, the good thing about multi-camera is that if something spontaneous happens on set the camera crew are able to get that moment more quickly. The camera movement must also be able to establish the atmosphere between the presenter and guest so that if the atmosphere is comfortable it will allow the audience to feel relaxed and be more engaged with the conversation.

Presentation style

My idea for the presentation style for the show is more likely to be informal as that way its more engaging for a younger audience rather than having formal discussion as that way its more likely for them to loose interest quicker, while as the target audience is 14-20 the show needs to have a lively and engaging atmosphere and being able to relate to them such as having topics about music that the audience will find interesting etc The number one song at the moment or even fast paced questions directed to the guest which could consist of
anything. That way the audience is able to learn more about the guest and at the same time get entertainment out of the strange questions. The personality of the presenter shall create a calm atmosphere with her audience and her guest and that way it allows them to be more comfortable with each other.

Questions for the artist

What influenced you to start a music career?

What artists inspire you?

What made you come up with this concept for your music video?

Questions on personal life (family,lifestyle) as this way its able to engage more of a teenage audience as there receiving personal information from the artist and it could make them more popular and the audience is able to relate to them more.

Is there anyone you would like to have a collaboration with?

Do you play any instruments?

Do you have any future productions in line?
