Review your TV programme:
I do believe my groups TV programme was successful at working as a TV format, however the quality of the show needs work before it would be taken onto broadcasting. This is reflected by the time period we had available. A real show would take longer than 3 weeks to produce and have a finished model. The concept is easy to understand and the audience could follow simply from home. In terms of production it is very simple, the only things to change would be the questions and the contestants.
Game shows are a common thing on daytime TV but what makes my TV show unique is the ending, turning a team against itself with a chance to double their money and gain all the money instead of sharing it.
The set worked well, however the back lighting needed to have more time spent angling it to maximize its colour spread. The shows logo is good and relates to the show nicely, it would be instantly recognisable, no other logo looks like it. The presenters interaction with the guests was good, he made conversation and made them laugh and got them to open up, something the audience would find entertaining.
Knowing how the contestants want to spend their money and watching them earn it, whilst at the end pitting them against each other is what would make the show appealing, getting attached to guest they can relate to and cheer for.
Like I mentioned before the show needed more time to plan and prepare so it could be the best it could be and look like a professional TV broadcast.
Review your personal progress on this module:
My storytelling skills have advanced, I have learnt how to develop an idea to make it concise and flow in a way an audience would find appealing, being a game show the way it is told is different to a journalist show for example, so learning how to advance rounds and tell guests stories is something key I have developed.
Even though my role was Sound mixer and I learnt how the sound mixer worked I learnt other technical skills, I learnt the role of a sound and lighting technician, adjusting the on set lighting rig and sound equipment so the set looked and sounded good on screen. I used new equipment to me from, Sony clip on microphone, Sennheiser clip on microphone and Rode microphone.
After completing the TV programme I have decided that for me, I want to be on a more technical side of things, setting up and monitoring during production rather than a direct involvement in the show. As a career choice this allows me to work on a variety of scenes, not isolating me to one show.
