How each show went...

In regards to both shows they had two very different set ups "Hot 5" as a chat show was more about each of there reactions where as with "Answer this?" It's more about the games they are playing. With both shows the teleprompting helped but was only used as a starting place as most of it is improvised for more realistic reactions. My roles on both I think went pretty good however my role on sound with Aayan on "Answer this?" Was more successful it was all about rhythm and timing this is also where the TelePrompter helped out. My role as floor manager on "Hot 5" which was also about timing but I had the people in the studio helping with that one with communication I know when to realise each person and count down. So over all filming of "Hot 5" was easier and was more successful and the filming of "Answer this?" Was more difficult to film and timing was off. 

Loose women

I didn't go on the trip for the viewing and taping of "loose women" but using what I already know from our college studio I can guess how the taping went. The show is a panel show which involves 4 different woman and a celebrity guest they pick various topics to talk about with each other and which they debate answers and feelings towards. The show is a multi camera studio production it's called this because it is filmed using 4 cameras, one of which is a TelePrompter the way it works is before taping each camera is set on an angle and during filming they comunicate with those in the recording studio, the audience is rather large and also has a little prompting for applause during the show.

For our first day off recording "Answer this?"

Our first day of recording was to say the least unsuccessful until the end. I was on sound along with Aayan I had to que the music and applause and she had to fade them out on time. Part of the reason the recording wasn't going so well today was because of not having a shooting script completed to follow and the communication between the host (Usama) and the rest of us was confusing for him as he does a lot of improvising and everyone was forcing him to look at the tele prompter and getting it mixed up or saying things at the wrong point. However it went a lot smoother for round three and flowed easier for all involved.

Studio set up....

Hot 5

I did not have a pre-production role for "Hot 5" as I had to work on the production of "Answer this?". For "Hot five" I had the role of floor manager on rehearsals it wasn't a good role to be in as the microphone I was supposed to use to communicate with Jelyseen was currently not working so as a result of this I then had to make sure she saw my hand signals because I could hear everything she was saying but she couldn't hear me. On the actual day of filming the following week I was given a new alternative for the role which was much better and made my job a lot easier I was now able to signal to the talent at the right times and communicate with those in vision room. As part of my role I also helped move stuff into positions. The only thing that went wrong on the day of filming was the current of the microphone I had clipped to me was to high and made viktors part of his lip sync battle screech so we then had to re-film that part. 

production roles for "Answer this?"

We began the day by pitching our ideas describing how we imagined filming it would go, saying about all the ideas we had and saying things that might be issues when filming. For my idea was a movie based game show and mine was chosen to film. Host- Usama Contestant- Saima Contestant- Rebecca Camera 1- Alima Camera 2- Jelyseen Camera 3- Sabrina Teleprompt- Aniqah Director- Viktors Vision mixer- Tianna Sound- Aayan and myself Floor manager- Trang Graphics- Deniz

My role in pre-production was to write the script or prompts for the host to read or improvise to, I also started the shooting script before Tianna took over as director. As it was my show to begin with it was my pitch to follow.

Case study - 30 Seconds To Mars (Download Festival 2013)

Coverage of action...
I would say there is definitely six cameras or more used throughout the filming of this set at the concert they are located everywhere corners of the stage, behind the band, on a crane above the audience. Most of the cameras are set at wide angles as they try to get coverage of the whole stage (the whole band) and the as much of the crowd of audience as possible, however some are set on close up on the artist and the bands instruments this is to show the fans what they want to see the expressions and see the energy of the concert.

Communicating meaning...
The quality of footage is to make the viewers and fans at home feel apart of the energy in the audience this is done by cutting from stage to crowd.

Visual style...
The artists on stage are jumpy and sweaty showing how energetic performance is, All over the stage are signs for that its "Download", the artist is asking the crowd to join in and part way through the singer picks up a union jack flag showing that the concert is based in the UK, the stage has loads of strobe light effects that change into various colours and a screen with different graphics that appear that represent the band and the concert as whole.

Viewer interest...
When it comes to concerts most fans will have a favourite song they look out for in a set, also by the fast cutting pace shows enough coverage of both the act and the audience to keep those watching interested. And also showing the instruments close up being played makes those interested in instruments or their favourite person in the band continue watching.

Constraints...
A concert is a huge space to cover, so a lot of cameras are needed in order to get a substantial amount of coverage, but by using a crane there is no fear of cameras getting broken by the audience at least.

Multi camera...
The use of multiple cameras is to get as much coverage as possible and this especially important at a concert as its a live event there is no re-takes.
