Production Meeting Reflection 1
In our first production meeting, we sat around a table in a group and individually spoke about our show ideas. In our group meeting, we were all a little confused about what we had to do and nervous about what we was going to talk about. We each briefly spoke about our pitches for 30 seconds and received feedback from everyone about what they liked and didn't like about it. When it was my turn to discuss my show I was still nervous and still didn't understand what we was doing, so I forgot the name of my show, When I found my sheet with my pitch printed on it, it came flooding back to me and I told everyone the name of my show, what my logo was like and what my show would contain e.g. my games were “who am i?” which consisted of images of celebrities faces distorted so the guests would have to guess who they were. I had quizzes in my show and also a performance by one of my artists which was my U.S.P.
I received positive feedback from my group. Prinul and Jasmeet stated that he liked the game “who am i?” because it was different. They also liked my U.S.P, which was the performance of one of artists from one of the 3 music videos I had chosen for my show.

 |
Idea 3
These 3 designs are all ideas of what the set could look like during our live day. Each design is different from one another because the layouts are different. Idea 1 was inspired from Alan Carr's: Chatty Man, Idea 2 was inspired from Ellen and Idea 3 was inspired from The One Show. Each layout has been changed so it doesn't seem like I've copied the whole set-up from each television programme. With the backdrop design in the background, I think it will look quite effective and visually appealing to the audience and the colours will stand out.
Twitter Display Area
Backdrop Idea
I have produced this idea as a backdrop because it is simple and neutral. Me and Jasmeet discussed exactly what to have in the backdrop and decided that we should have a silhouette design of paparazzi like the show "Celebrity Juice". I didn't want the backdrop design looking tacky or over the top so I stuck to an easy and relevant image that wouldn't draw to much attention to the backdrop and away from the show and guests. For my design, I had to use 3 colours which were purple, white and yellow. I had to use these colours in particular so that the logo would match alongside it.

Multicamera: Show Pitch
In this task, we have been asked to individually think of a music magazine show that we would have to present live for 30 minutes.
Title of the Show:
The name of my show is called "ReChord". I have chosen this name because i thought it was killing two birds with one stone, as to speak. ReChord is a mixture between "record" and "chord". I thought it was a good name and would be relevant because we are recording live and also discussing musical topics so that's why "chord" comes in. The logo below i made shows the name of my show, 2 musical notes and two women gossiping. This represents how my show will be based purely on the subjects of music and celebrity news.
Content ideas:
I have a variety of ideas that I could put into my show to make it interesting and fun so it has a positive effect on the cast in the show and for the public watching. The ideas I have for my show will differentiate from music topics to celebrity gossip. I would have an interview with an artist that would currently be holding a video in the charts. We'd discuss new singles/albums coming out, what is happening with the guest star and have a Q&A. We would see what would be the biggest trending topics and events on the social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
For entertainment, there would be a variety of games to play. I was thinking about having a game of where the celebrity's face is distorted by effects and the guests must try and figure out who it is. I think there should also be a game for the public to play at home; e.g. there could be a missing lyric of a song that the public could answer via phone call or any social networking site in order to win a prize. We must include 3 music videos with the actors in the videos guest star in the show. I chosen: Mine, Jada's and Anthony's music video because it is very eerie and spooky from any video that I've watched before and is very different to the typical cliche music video. The second video will be TJ's and Kaval's music video. I have chosen this video because it's about a guy talking about his past relationship and what he was like. I liked the opening of the music video especially where it showed London because it looked very beautiful. The third video I would show would be Jasmeet's and Prinul's. I really like their music video because it was a romance/break up story line but it was from a different point of view. It was a story about the "other woman" and how she was affected by this relationship. I would also talk about recent news articles based on celebrities; for example Jay Z and Solagne's fight in the elevator recently, Nicki Minaj's transformation, the speculation with the Instagram picture of Willow Smith (13) and Moses Arias (20) from Hannah Montana in bed together and how the TOWIE star Billie Faier's has announced her pregnancy news.
Studio Design:
The two designs show exactly how the set would be laid out. I would have the interview area looking professional but unformal at the same time. The studio design shows the birds eye view image of the entire set; where the cameras would be set, where the games area would be and where the twitter feed stand would also be.
Running Order:
7:00 - Presenters walking down the hallway talking about the show.
7:02 - Opening sequence starts.
7:03 - VT clip of what's coming up on the show.
7:06 - First guest is introduced to the show. Show full music video.
7:09 - Presenters interviews the guest.
7:13- Presenters introduce guest to play the game "Who am I" and must identify 4 faces.
7:15 - Presenters introduce second guest and shows full music video.
7:18 - The presenters interview the second guest
7:21 - The game 'Whats the missing lyric' is introduced to both guests.
7:23 - The last music video is played.
7:26 - Video of an interview of the actors in one of the music videos.
7:28 - Audience interaction - Texts/Twitter /Facebook or Instagram feeds
7:29 - Pre-recorded footage of fans of the guests asking questions and having the guests answer them.
7:30 - Outro of the presenters saying what will be on next week then the credits are shown.
Visual Style:
I would be happy with my presenters dressing what ever way as long as it wasn't too revealing or formal for the show. Below are pictures of what would be perfect for how my presenters could dress; as you can see it's not casual but not too over the top and mixes well with this years fashion.
Presentation Style:
I would prefer having a male and female as a presenter because it makes the show more gender neutral and allows them to have and share more banter and different sources of opinion with each other on the show. It is important that my presenters also have a good bond or friendship because this allows them to be real and open on set which makes it look more professional rather than the show being fake and have awkward moments.
Programme Format:
This type of programme will be based on music and magazine topics on the show we would be discussing music charts, music videos, having interviews with guests, gossip, celebrity news and play games.

-Bring the correct equipment to work- As a VT operator, it is important that you bring what you need with you e.g. tapes. If the people behind the desk forgot the tapes then no job could get job.
Skills
-Knowledge of Video Tapes and how to operate the players that play them.- It is important that the VT Operator knows how to work the machines that run the video tapes and also know how to handle the tapes with care. It is also require that they know what to do when it comes to doing it on a live performance and being under pressure.
-Aware of the Health and Safety regulations - The VT Operator's are working with everything electrical, so they must take precautions on how to minimize the risk or harm or damage to the crew or equipment.
Presenter
-Come to work on time- The presenter must be in front of camera on time other wise it causes delays with the production. If it was a live event and the presenter wasn't there, the broadcasters would have to put the show on stand by which would loose the public's attention, thus resulting in profit loss for the company.
Skills
-Have good communication skills- It is crucial as a presenter that they are good at listening and speaking to people. Without this skill, it is completely pointless hosting a show and having a connection with the audience and guests.
-Being comfortable in front of the camera- As a presenter, the only job that is required is to talk and host a show. Being in front of the camera means the host should be polite, welcoming and confident.
-Ability to work under pressure- As a presenter, it is important they remain calm and improvise when working under pressure. If the presenter is stressed out or nervous, it would look unprofessional and loose the viewer's interest.
-Have a good memory- It looks professional and shows they have confidence. As a presenter, they must memorize their lines and facts and improvise rather than starring and reading of cue cards for the entire show.
