Production Meeting Reflection 1 / Own Role Production 1

Within this week I had to ensure what I will be doing as the role of the Presenter. I was a bit worried due to the fact that I did not get any of my applied jobs which were my strong points as for being a graphics designer I have had experience for over 3 Years and Cameraman I have been for 2 Years through the course of Media in GCSE. But as a presenter I will be able to improve my skills in front of the camera.

 Regarding this week I was talking with Jasmeet and Ellie and helping out on the Running Order as well as understanding what I would be doing throughout the course of the Live Show. Us three sat down during the lesson and carefully went through what the presenters would be doing and what the guests will be doing. After some extensive group work we had a brief running order which I would then take home and elaborate on for Jasmeet and Ellie to check and make changes to. As we have made the running order it will be easier for me and Jada because we would know what we would be doing on the day itself. This week has been very productive as we got the Running Order completed to an extent where we can start on the Master Script and get it done in time for the rehearsals of the show itself.

The group response to my idea and contribution was good because everyone was happy with what was going on, on the running order. We all got along and we all embedded our ideas to the Running Order to make it that extra bit unique. We all had to agree on what we wanted on the running order and it was important that we listened to Jasmeet as she was the Director. As Jasmeet was the director we had to ensure everything was perfect through her eyes. If there was any mistakes we would be informed by Jasmeet so we can get that fixed in no time. After going home I made a more elaborated version of the Running Order to Jasmeet.

The thing that has been successful this week is that the running order was completed with the help of me as the presenter and Ellie. This meant I and Jada can progress into making a simple script which me and her will abide by so we don’t forget what we would be doing throughout the course of the Live Show.

I need to develop what I would be doing as a presenter for the live show and talk with my Partner Jada so we can settle to make a script. Which brings me onto my next point: What I will be intending in doing next week is that I need to create a script with Jada so I can ensure what I will be doing on the Live TV Show itself.

Own Proposal Reflection

Before we started the production meeting there had to be a camera that was set up in order to record each and every one of us. This meant that everyone had to pitch their ideas to the whole of class and receive feedback on their Production Ideas. Each of us had a turn to say what our show was called and what our actual unique selling point was for the production itself.  By doing this production meeting it ensured that we had heard all of the ideas that were pitched and would have helped us figure out whose Idea we will be going with for our Live Day. As we sat around the table it was awkward to start a discussion and ask the questions to the person who had pitch their idea because most of the questions were there same and there were no questions which were different to the others.

This week I did my Media Pitch for my show which went very well. I made a show called Mix Direct which had a very strong correlation to a Music Type show. During this week I had to come up with a plan for my pitch, get the running order sorted, Set setup, Backgrounds ect. Regarding my Pitch I had received some good and bad points which told me why my idea was not as good as the others in the class. Some of the good points I received was that my logo looked very professional with the Orange and Yellow colour scheme. They also said the logo was vibrant and simple. Also the group liked the idea of the wallpaper going on the green screen or the logo with some splatter effect. Some of the negative comments I received was that my name was unoriginal which “Mix Direct” was and it completely slipped my mind it was a DJ Shop name. Also I did not have a unique selling point which also made my idea rather boring.

We voted for Jada’s Idea which was called “The Beat" which was correlated to Music because there is the “beat” of the track. Also she had good unique selling point. I personally voted for prabhjyots idea as he had a very good name of “Musology” which instantly correlated to Music. Also he had games such as guess the nose.  He could have added a unique game such as the hot seat which Kaval introduced on his pitch. Within the final idea I think the hot seat Idea could have been incorporated as well as the twitter Q&A. Jada's name particularly caught everyone's attention so therefore we went with that. We did alter some of the show itself by incorporating others' ideas which made it fair on everyone so it seemed like everyone had contributed as it was a team work Unit.

Live Pitch Recorded

This is the live Pitch I did for my Multi-Camera Production where I pitch, receive and answer questions that were being asked. If you want to see the pitch I wrote up on blogger go to the link here : MC Pitch <- This will show a full written version of what I was reading out in the video so it is easier to go along with.

MC Show pitch

For this task we have been asked to create a Music Program which will be around the 30 Minute Mark. The Program will need to contain around 2 Guests where questions will be asked in order to keep the program going without it being as boring. Below is the plan I have created for the program. I have tried to keep it unique as possible without copying others' ideas. This means that I could have the chance to air my program for the Media Live Day which is literally around the corner. Also below you will find my progress of building on the idea without it getting too boring.

Before anything I needed to think of a name for my own program and the first thought that sprung into mind was Mix Direct. This is because the name itself correlates to music. "Mixing" songs are for DJ's but they use songs to mix. Also I added the word direct to the bottom in order to make it seem like we are the only show that actually puts up the latest in music. It "Directly" shows the music video to the viewers of the show. After creating the logo I looked at the logo and it did not have any colour and it looked boring and unappealing.So I went back to the drawing board and I made a logo which looked appealing and more professional. On your right you will see the new and improved logo of the Initial logo I had actually made. This has more colour and catches the audience's eye. Unlike the other one it has more colour and is more appealing. The fact that I have used a circle it adds an element of a Logo. Most logos have circular outer "shell". Now the logo has two shades of orange which looks very clean and it is not too glamorous looking.

Again if I wanted to change the colour of the logo I would just have to change the Hue which will keep the same shades but change the colour to another colour with the same shades. Below you will see the same logo in a different colour. The fact that I have used two same colours in different shades I have the ability to change the colour by keeping the shades the same. This will be my final logo for the show itself.




The final logo is nice and bold which will clearly show the name of the show which is Mix Direct. It also looks like a classic logo from back in the dat. Like those neon lights shop logos. I have tried to create a logo which would look more professional as if it was to be on television. This will be the utmost final version of the logo as there is not much more to improve. This means now that I have my logo sorted out I can focus on all the graphics that can be used within the actual show it self. For example we can do an watermark overlay, Name graphics to show the Presenters' names ect. This will allow the program to have a flow and a large sign of professionalism.




What Is my called and what do I have planned for the show itself?
My show is called mix direct, I chose this name because it correlates to music and the word direct states that "You directly" get the news from the show. As a graphics designer I have professional standard overlays, logos, Intros, Outros ect planned for the show itself. This will add an element of professionalism to the show because we have near professional standard graphics available up for grabs. Before I actually get into the running order Below you will find some of the graphics that are available that will be included in the logo itself.

VISUAL STYLE Background for the Show itself. Will be placed on a board behind the Presenters & Guests

I have chosen a background with vibrant colours so its easily view able via the cameras. I decided to do this because the camera will not pick up dark colouring. This was figured when we were shown an example of previous Multi-Camera productions. Also with good lighting and this background the whole set will look more appealing and exciting. When watching the previus examples we found that without good lighting the set was too dark and boring to the viewers. I aim to make it to the nearest degree of making it professional; In order to do this I will need more than what we have in the school but for now I’ll need to adapt to what equipment I have actually got to use for the time being.

Things I will be Including during the course of my show:
Without a little quiz or game the show will not be very entertaining because constantly talking will bore people. Therefore I would have to include a game which will allow the Show to flow better aswelll as entertain the viewers without them losing there interst.

Game Ideas:
Here is a game which is fun and easy. Guessing the face. The aim of the game is to guess the face that is blurred to an extent where the person can figure out who it is.  Each contestant has 3 Images to guess and rack up the points. At the end the person with the most correct answers out of 3 gets to win. The pictures are mainly of Mainstream artists which will make it that little bit easier for the people to view during the show itself.

Setup of the set:

Here I have gone with a simple yet effective setup where we can get single shots of the Presenters & Guests, Also we can get a full view of the set itself. This allows easy switches between the subjects. Also with this setup we can capture the facial expressions of all the people on the set.

The setup is also conventional and it covers everything for the viewers which is very helpful as if there was to be an unexpected moment we will be able to capture it without missing an aspect of the whole thing.






 Running Order:
6:00-6:05 - Here we will be able to see the intro to the show itself where the two presenters introduce themselves and have a little clip of what the whole show is about. Also within this 5 Minutes we have a mini overview of what will be coming up on the show itself.

6:05-6:08- Here the presenters sit down and introduce their guests to their show anfd give a brief explanation of who they are. They will introduce both guests and make them feel comfortable and set the mood of the whole show.

6:12-6:16 - We Interview the second guest and show a clip of their music video they have starred and sung in. Again only a portion of the music video will be shown throughout the course of the show.

6:16 -6:20 - We have a games round of guessing the picture. Each person gets 3 pictures to guess, person who has guessed the most will win the game itself.

6:20- 6:23 - We talk to the guests about both of their forthcoming albums and who will be featured in the songs. Also a new coming single will also be talked about during this period of time

6:23- 6:25 - Here we have a quiz that will take place and see if our guests are unto date with their Music. Quiz can involve song names, Albums Names, Celebrity Fights ect.

6:25-6:28 - After taking part in the quiz the presenters will reveal the prize for the winner of the show and give them a prize with a little celebration.

6:28-6:30 - They will end the show with answering a few questions from their twitter fans and tell the audience to follow them for a chance to win a big prize ect.
