Introduction - Live Project

Introduction

In this project we have been given the task of making a multi-camera live production in a subject of our choice. There are a wide range of forms that use this kind of media such as TV shows and videos found on YouTube. I will be using this project to try make a podcast that has a similar theme to the popular TV series Room 101. The show Room 101 is a comedic chat show that features a host (currently hosted by Frank Skinner) interviewing celebrity guests on certain pet peeves they individually have. the guests compete for their pet hates to be locked away in room 101 as they tell jokes and amusing stories as they present their case for why they hate their respected peeve. starting in 1994, the show itself is aging on reaching 24 years as of this year. in this time the show has changed networks and has changed hosts twice, Nick Hancock (1994–1999), Paul Merton (1999–2007), Frank Skinner (2012–2018). Even with these change over the years the show does not have the popularity its ones did, a belief for this is the recently up rise in technology. This is the main reason I decided to push my focus on the show. As I think an interesting way to bring this show back could be to have it presented in a podcast like manor with segments and a setup that appeals to a new, younger audience. This revamp could be what an aging show such as Room 101 needs to keep going to appeal to the younger generation. I will be using this project as a way to work on my planning and preparation skills as a project like this requires a lot of prep in order to have an understanding on how to correctly carry out the production and post-production in a show such as the one I have selected. whether I have succeeded in this aim will show in my final product at the end of the project.
