Before starting the show we looked at what made news, arts and culture shows on TV before us. We looked at some of the conventions so we had an idea of how to make ours look:
.The formality was usually casual.
.Provided light-hearted entertainment.
.Not always huge popular topics like in the news. Would be different topics from around the area so they could raise awareness.
.Fast edits with interviews lasting no longer than 30 minutes
.Small bit of history behind the topics.
.The interview styles aren't always the same. Different camera angles are used, maybe for over the shoulder views etc.
.Guests were always included.
Looking at other shows was always useful so we had a template almost of what we could follow. Sure it was good to add our own twist but we needed to stick to conventions so people knew exactly what they were watching.
However we didn't find everything to be as successful as we wanted. Finding research for our topics was a bit hit and miss because internet sources weren't always reliable eg. something that I would find online would end up being different to information someone else found out. Interviews were always the best way to find out information we needed eg. with the Mop Festival, I found going out and asking peoples views on the festival being a good addition with added history found from secondary research. Primary research ended up being a strong helper with creating the shows.
Overall the shows went very well. We found all the topics we needed, all the crew got on and so made a good team effort, we learnt a lot about fimling in and out of the studio which would later come in handy with our next show "Reverb", We each had a go at our different roles which was a great learning experience and mostly it was a lot of fun. We all enjoyed ourselves a lot and feel ready to give Stratcast's biggest show "Reverb" a go!
