Production Meeting Reflection 1

Summaries how the production meeting was run?
The day of the production meeting I had to discuss my idea of the music magazine TV show. I had to present what was going to happen in the show and what the music magazine TV show will include. We all had to write what was good about the other people in the class ideas.

What was the groups response to your idea?
The groups response to my ideas was how unique my idea was because in my idea I included social media so the audience at home can participate with the guest that are going to be on the music magazine TV show. Also the groups response of my ideas was what my logo of the music magazine TV show is going to look like and what guest am I going to have and also a VT of three music videos that will be on the show. The group also liked my idea of the pre-recording by going to a different location and asking fans what they like about the guest and what favorite song they like the guest to play.

Whose idea did you vote for?
The idea that I voted for is Chloe's.
What did you like about the idea?
I liked Chloe's idea because it included social media for the fans to participate to the music magazine TV show for example Snapchat. The title of the music magazine TV show is called Feel The Music. Her idea also included latest news about celebrity and music artists and will have been pre-recorded footage and will also have games for the viewers to interact with.

What aspects related to the brief?
The brief of the music magazine TV show is aimed at 14-20 year olds and the ideas that is related to the brief was the interaction with the audience so the can give questions to the guest that are on the music magazine TV show.

What areas do you think needed development?
The areas that I think needed development was having a female presenter to be on the music magazine tv show because the show only has male presenters on it and I think it should include females.

What other ideas did people have that you think could be incorporated into the final idea?
The other ideas that I like from other people was from classmate Kori because his idea included more audience interaction with the guests on the show. For example social media and also audience calling from Skype.

Treatment for Multi-Camera Music Magazine Show

Programme format
The TV show will last for half an hour with the technique of multi-camera and is based on a music magazine TV show. The target audience for the music magazine TV show is aimed at teenagers and young adults from age of 14-20 year old. Our class had to come up with an idea that will benefit the age of the title. 

Title of show

The target audience of  our music magazine TV show is aimed at teenagers so when creating the title for the TV show, we had to make it related to the target audience that will be watching it. The title of the music magazine TV show is 'BMV 4 You' stands for British Music Video. I created this title because I think it would relate to music, on the left is my logo. The logo would contain two musical notes on both sides of the logo to make it relate to music and the audience would know what the topic is all about. The colour that I have chosen is light blue and light red because it stands out. I wanted to go for a young and fresh feel and a funky image also I have put more than one colour on my logo to make this appeal to the younger audience that would be watching the music magazine TV show.


Content ideas
The music magazine TV show would include interviews with the music artists and will also contain a wide range of topics that are related to music.The magazine TV show would have a fast pace motion of all of the set of the studio so the audience can see the set in different camera shots. For example the presenters, camera people that are getting ready to start the show.

Pre recorded footage that I would have for the show would be an interview with the musician or artiste who will be interviewed about their new music. The pre recorded shows that would show the artist touring the studio and have the audience giving their opinions on a music video or an artist.

Another thing that I would have on the magazine show is reviews of music videos that are releasing soon. Then I would have on the music magazine TV show  the main stars from one video to have an interview with some world famous singers for exclusives. The music magazine TV show would also have the music videos of people that are in my class the music videos that I am going to use is kori's Leo's group and also my group. I would include competitions to make the show more enjoyable to watch so the audience can join in by calling and trying to win competitions for concerts. The game that I am talking about is all about knowing which songs that are being played and the guests have to name them as soon as possible to win the points that will be at the end of the music TV magazine show.

Studio design
The studio design that I would have in the music magazine TV show is like the pictures below because they have light lighting. This is what I would have in my own music magazine TV show. I have chosen this style because I think it would be more suitable for the target audience that are watching. Also the images states where the guest are going to set up to play music and also where the guest are going to sit and to show where the camera would be in which direction of the studio of the magazine show.















Sketch of background

The sketch of the background that I would use for my music magazine TV show is to have my logo with images of musical notes. To make the background sketch more eye-catching for the viewers that are watching the music TV magazine show. Also I wanted my background of the music TV show to be like other music shows but with more designs. Also I think my sketch of my background suit to the music magazine TV show and the sketch of the background is aimed for 14-20 year old that will be watching I think its very original and up to date with the young people will find it interesting and be curious to watch it.

Visual styles
The visual styles that I would have for the music magazine TV show is by having graphics of my logo. Also by having fast pace cutting to make the music magazine show more professional the colours that I would have to be light  for example light red and blue. For the music magazine TV show I would have lots of camera shots for example long shot, medium shot and also close ups to make the make the music TV show more interesting and upbeat to make the audience stay watching the music music magazine TV show.

Presentation style
The presenters that I will have in my music video TV show are Yanick and Connor. I picked Yanick because he likes to present work to the class and he is suitable for the job role for the multi- camera music magazine TV show. I also picked Connor because he is independent on working in front of a camera and he isn't shy. The clothing that the presenters are going to wear is causal stuff they are also going to talk at steady speed to the people that are watching and be clear in what they say.
