Evaluation
My aim for this project was to try and give the popular talk
show Room 101 a revamp to take the premise and display it in a way that would
appeal to a new younger audience. I set out to do this by creating an online
talk show with a similar layout to the original show, however, I did change to
a younger host to try drawing in some younger audiences by making the show feel
more relatable to the target audience. In this evaluation I will be looking
over my past pages of research and looking back to find out if I did achieve my
end aim or not.
To start my project, I had to look at multiple plausible ideas I could take this project in. As before I came up with this idea, there were other concepts I nearly took my show in. this started by looking at different genres of show that uses the multi-camera technique we were are basing this project on. For my main ideas I looked into live shows, soap operas and talk shows. I picked these as they were the most interesting to me and immediately started sparking up some good ideas for potential projects. My final 3 ideas to pick from were a cooking show, such as those of Master Chef or Bake Off. A talk show, such as that of Room 101 or 8 Out of 10 Cats. Or finally a news broadcasting show, such as BBC News or shows such as This Morning. Out of these options I then moved on and decided to pick a talk show to be my style of choice. Finally, for this I had to look at some potential problems. This meant I had to decide on a main demographic and look for and legal or ethical problems as well as my own production issues that could compromise my video. With all that analysed and assessed I was able to move on to the next stage of this project.
After settling on a final idea, I then moved onto doing research to further my idea and bring it from a concept to a reality. To do this I did a mixture of different channels of research in every area I could think of that could benefit my project. I started by presenting a presentation on multi-camera production to help deepen my understanding of the brief and what we had to make. This presentation coved things like budget, genres and filming techniques. We then also learn some smaller things that could benefit us in a project during post-production, techniques such as adjusting the time-code and learning how to set it on a multi-camera production to help benefit the final edit. Then I moved on to the main research for my idea. In this I started with my primary research. Hosting both a survey and interview where I gained both qualitive and quantitive results that helped me understand my audience on a personal level. Finally, I investigated my secondary research where I looked at 5 channels of study that gave me some more depth on the genre and techniques I should be using during my production.
With my research complete I was then ready to move on to my planning and preparation for my project. The first thing I wrote into my blog was the treatment I made at the beginning of the assignment. This has all the starter details I wrote down when getting ready to start. From the treatment we move into all the various kinds of research I did to better understand and develop my idea, so I knew what I was going to be doing when it came to production day. This made me think more about the finer details I would need to try and take into count, things such as my cast, lighting and necessary equipment. From this I was able to set up a practice of exactly what the final set up for my project should look like and what equipment would be needed to create a video such as this. Finally, with my graphic card made I felt safe and secure using what I had prepared to move forward with production day.
Production day for me is where my project hit a few bumps, upon arrival there were no issues for my project. However, upon reflection it clear to see I did not set up my equipment as effectively and did not think my set up and carefully as I should have. I remembered a lot of the filming techniques that I had researched before for this day, remembered to use timecode and the correct set up for all the cameras. However, looking back at the footage were some clear problems with how the cameras were set up. I was able to mend the footage a bit in post, but due to the background lighting that could not be blocked out, the quality of the final video is not a clear and crisp as it should be. The testing side of this project provided me with some good insight into what I can do in the future to prefect a video such as the one I tried to make. Overall, making it clear about where I stood on my aim and how I could better it for a future project.
Looking at what I have done over the past few weeks I have come far in my understandings of what multi-camera is and the working techniques around it that make it a useful part of TV and film production. After looking at my final video it is clear there are things that could be improved on and fixed for a future project such as this one. Overall, looking at the final video and those who took their time to watch and review it for my testing. I do believe I did achieve my aim of taking the show Room 101 and adapting it to fit a new generation of viewers. Although there are things that could be corrected if I were to redo it. I did complete what I set out to do successfully and created a video that met the brief I was given.
