What are we going to use?

Lighting

We will be using gels on the studio lights (name the studio lights) this is to set a colour theme which we will decide on at a later date, gels are useful as they colour a set, they will specifically look good in the fashion section but we need to make sure that the set is not overly coloured because they cannot be changed half way through the show when we will go to the gadget section which is going to also be filmed live.

Communications

Our group have spoken about wanting to use a social media platform such as Twitter to show live interaction but we are not quite sure on how we could get it to work. Firstly, we will need to live stream/broadcast the show and secondly, we will need viewers who are interested enough to 'tweet' and 'hashtag' about our show.

TV Show Idea

For the idea for our TV show we are going to be making in the next couple of weeks. We all thought of this idea and incorporated all of our interests in to it, we think it will be a strong TV show, we are basically thinking of doing a Christmas Edition of a show where we will have a review section for Christmas gifts such as games, gadgets, apps to use etc.. (it will be live filmed in TV Studio), another bit we want to include is a Fashion Show inspired by 'This Morning' and 'Lorraine' where we will have 2 presenters, one who will inform the audience how much items of clothing are and where to get them from and one who will bounce off the other presenter. We were also thinking of having a VT on a simple guide on how to cook mince pies and also having people try them (this will obviously be pre recorded) and then to close the show and to create a more festive feel, we are thinking of getting a live choir to sing a carol or just even a solo artist to sing. 

I emailed the idea to both of our lecturers and they seemed to like the idea: 

Director- Me

Producer- (We still need to find one)

Graphics- Katie

Lighting- Dom

Sound- Nancy

Camera Ops- Nick, James

Researchers- Whole Group

Vision Mixer- Holly

Script- Emily

Floor Manager- 

Above is a mind map of all of the ideas we came up with in class, some we aren't too keen on such as the app reviews as this will have to include a handheld device such as an iPhone or an iPad which may appear too small on camera and produce a glare. It would be good to film peoples reactions to the apps they are using.
