production log week 4

This week i was working with the lights on the live day. I had to position them correctly so that everything was lit up  and looking effective at the same time. I had to move the lights in between breaks to set up for a new scene.

I think that the way i handled the lighting this week was successful as there was no mistakes made i felt that i was good with the lights as well as being safe with them i think that the lights not falling over was a success because there were a lot of people surrounding them so it could of fell over at any time

I think i could of changed the gels on the lights. I think i was playing it safe because i didn't want anything to mess up the live day so i definitely could've been more creative in that section. I think i could of also added more lighting techniques i think i was also playing it safe then because i was concerned that there wouldn't be enough time to be constantly be moving the lights through out breaks.

I think the team worked well together and i also got help from the camera crew. I was asking them how the lighting looked on the camera to ensure that it would look effective.

Overall i think i done well on live day i think that i could of tried out more lighting techniques to make the live day look more creative but apart from that i think i done quite good. I was on time with the lighting movements for example when hot or not came on i had to move the camera to the side as it was in the shot because the hot or not was filmed in a different location. So i had to be ready to move that camera as soon as it came on.Then i had to move the camera back for the lyp-syncing competition which was very hard to do without it effecting the camera. On the whole i thought i did well.

Production log week 3

This week i finished my lighting page. I had to research different lighting techniques so that i would know how to set up the lights for the live day. A few examples of lighting techniques is a high key position which is basically covering all the shadows with light to brighten up the mood of the scene. I also finished the script-lighting document. For this i had to fill out the lighting section for the script so that i know what to do and when to do it i had to think what lighting technique would be best for the specific scene in the show.

The thing that was successful this week was that I managed to finish all the work for the week which allowed me to filling in my production log early and help out other students with their work which allows our class to  get work done quicker.

I think I need to change and develop my lighting script because i did not really have a variety of different lighting techniques due to the fact that there was not many changes in the scene so i could only stick to two or three techniques and if i had more it would probably get too complicated.

Next week is when our live day will take place so i will be in charge of the lighting department on that day. I will probably be helping others to finish their work as well. I will also be finishing off bits of work that need correcting.

The team that i worked with this week were very helpful as the helped me finish my work which allowed me to help other people.

pitch for live show

Programme Format - 

The programme will be showing for 30min with competitions and interviewers 


Title Of Show- Turnt up- 

I chose this name because its trendy and it is associated with music now these days. I think that it will appeal to my target audience more as they would know what the title means. The title means that a song/music video is really good and high up in the charts making the song very popular. I think that the majority of the young people will like the idea and this should allow to tune in to every show.


Content ideas- 

I would like to have lots of interesting and funny scenes to keep the audience entertained. I would also like to have a part where the public can ask questions by doing this it can engage the viewers but i would not like too much questions as it can start to get repetitive and boring. These questions could be asked by using Skype or facetime which allows us to see the face of the person who asked the question. I think that all the music should be the latest and very popular as it will attract 12-20 yr olds as that is my target audience. A competition will also be included in the show. he guests will have to sing a song and then the opposition will have to guess who who the song was performed by


Running Order- 

  1. Introduction-This part will have an introduction of what the program sis and what is going be shown throughout the video. ( 2min)
  2. The guests are introduced on to the set and then they take a seat
  3. Song- A music video will be shown Monique and Kori (3min)
  4. Guests and presenters talk about the music video (5min)
  5. Skype and facetime calls (2min)
  6. 2min of adverts (2min)
  7. Rashan Music video (3min)
  8. Third artists interview (2min)
  9. Skype and facetime calls (2min)
  10. Competition at the end. (5min)


Studio Design- 

Lots of urban designs around the walls.Bright colors to make the studio look lively . I would like to have fun looking chairs as well to make the interviews lee formal than people think they should be.I would not like to have lots of different colours otherwise it would not appeal to the viewers and it would also look unprofessional. I will have cameras placed in a line at the back to capture everything. I will have a round table in the middle for tea and biscuits and i have included to chairs on both sides.One for the guests and one for the presenters


Sketch Of Background-d 




I have made my background like this because its attractive and i think that the audience will like it as it looks urban and effective. The speakers show that the show will be about music along with the volume behind it.





Visual Style - 

The production will be fast paced with fast cutting to show as many shots as we can in a small amount of time. I will have the cameras placed in a line of three towards the back of the setting. I have done this because i want to capture the whole room which allow the audience to see everything.


Presentation Style- 

I would have the presenters acting lively and cool.The dialogue should not be formal at any point. This keeps the style of the production feel urban. I would have them make some jokes throughout the production but not to many as it will ruin the atmosphere. The presenter should make the guests feel welcome on to the show to create a nice flow with in the show.



Production reflection meeting 2

This week I completed a risk assessment and had to share it with the class. The hazzards were that the lights could fall and break or the light bulb could burst and the hot glass would spread out and hit people

Next week i will be working on more things to do with the lighting desk to make sure everything is completed for the live day. I will also be looking at the red heads next to ensure that i will be able to work them. When i am workimg with these lights i will have to make sure that i am able to visualise the hazzards around the area

The production meeting went well i think that everyone took in the information I had to say and they did not hold back on asking questions. The teacher also corrected me which also allowed me to gain knowledge  from it.

I also worked with other people because our job roles were similar for example web both had a hazzard where drinks could spill in the eletroics and damage them me and my friend were able to come up with hazzards to complete our work quicker

Production meeting reflection 1



Production meeting reflection 1




The production meeting was run in the classroom. Everyone had a go to share their ideas with the rest of the class and we also had to listen to everyone ideas and make notes on them. At the end we had a chance to ask questions about their idea.

I think the group thought my idea was good and they did not hold back on asking questions about my idea. They thought that the thought of me having a girl guest and a boy guest on the show was excellent because it showed that the show wasn't just for boys. They thought that would create a wider target audience.

I voted for Chloe browns idea I really like her idea because i was clear and looked like it could work without any complications getting involved with it. I thought her idea about the hot or not game was unique and would make the show so much fun.

I think that Chloe’s content ideas could include more for example she should include different types of interviews to keep it interesting. I think that she could have included more fun competitions as well to make the production flow.


I thought that yanicks idea was stronger than Chloe’s. I also think that it would be easy to create an effective logo that links with the title. I like Omar’s guest vs presenters dance battle, I think that this will bring the production to life.
