Television Studio...

This was the module I was most looking forward to this semester!!! I really enjoy the television & radio aspect of the media, especially being in front of the camera or behind the mic, I have done since I was younger and I think when you have been passionate about something for that long you enjoy it more. My Dar  always used to say 'that girl should have her own show' and its something I've often thought about! When I was younger I remember getting my first camera and I would use it for hours at a time each day either making silly music videos or documentary's about barbies! Or making my own TV show with invisible hosts! .. It all seems quite silly when I look back at it now, but I do believe that is what got me into the love of the media industry. I couldn't wait to use the new studio that had just been fitted also, that was something to look forward to.

After we had been introduced to the studio we were sat down and given our brief for the module, which seemed quite exciting! We were also put into groups, my group included; Myself, Carlie, Ashleigh, Dave, & Natasha. So after the groups were decided it was then time to choose our roles between us we had five options which included: Producer, Director, Floor Manager, Set Designer, Presenter. I did not mind which role I was given however I really wanted to take on the role of the presenter, because I felt that this would be my strongest role and after speaking with my group they all agreed that the role of the presenter suited me best and they all took on roles that they thought they would enjoy. The role of the presenter includes:

Presenter: The presenter is the talent and will present all the material in the show. During the music segment this person will have the chance to use a camera. They are responsible for the content and they work close with the producer to write a presenters script. 

Everyone had equal responsibility in the group and we all listened to one another which made it easier to communicate and create ideas. The aim of the game was to produce a lunchtime TV Show that would be created for a pilot of channel 4, so therefore it was essential that it have a channel 4 vibe. I could not wait to get started on this project and so as a group we decided to do all the research we could about different shows and sets because obviously how a show looks is important as well.
