This Morning ITV Channel Research

This Morning-ITV
Pick a specific TV show similar in genre and format to one you would like to produce. 

Add a link to a clip from the show to your blog, then watch making notes on the following topics:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUJY_ov83Z4
Visual Codes (describe the following elements of mise-en-scene)
Eyeliner camera shots, medium closeups, closeups, wide shots, panning shots, zoom shots.
Set/location of the production
The studio location is at The London Television Centre, 72 Upper Ground, Lambeth, London SE1 9LT
Colour pallette and tone used within the show
Warmish neutral tone throughout the whole program 
Hair and make-up
Makeup and hair on but not excessive
Clothes
Smart formal dress/ shirt/ trousers
Presenters performance
Good most of the time but can get informal and out of hand if they burst into laughter and cannot contain themselves. I think the purpose of them laughing and not keeping themselves serious all the time is because they want it to be a entertaining show and to be not too formal.
Camera

Shot types
Closeups, medium closeups, wides 
Positioning
Cameras are mostly central or to the side of the presenter when interviewing someone
Movement
Pan ins, pan outs, presenters mostly static but sometimes move about the studio which I think is because they are trying to engage the audience as if they were there and in a interview you would not be moving around a lot.
Framing
Most of the presenters bodies are in it, depending on the shot type their whole body from shoes to head or chest to head. I think is used because they want to keep the show formal. 
Depth of field
Deep depth of field, sharp background which I think is used because it is not a film and a chat show wouldn't really work with having very shallow cinematic scenes. 
Editing
Mostly long cuts because I think it is because the conversations and scenes are very long and it would be silly to keep switching the cameras when the presenters are not moving at all really.
Pace
Medium to slow pace. 
Transitions
Not really any transitions at all which is because I think they want to keep the show laid back and its not really needed.
Continuity/editing matches (Eyeline matches?) 
The eye line matches are good.
Shot duration
Mostly long shots lasting maybe a few seconds to a few minutes which I think keeps the viewer engaged because they feel like they are a part of that.
The music
There is not a lot of music featured in the whole show and if there is then it will be just featured or background music because the show is a chat show and the purpose is to talk to and interview people

Extension - map the show's structure to a timeline:

0-32 seconds opening credits
32-50seconds presenter introduction of show..

Editing my website photo

Image
Editing Website Photo First I obviously imported the photo into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 2015 on my laptop, applied the lens corrections and profiles for the lens used, removed chromatic aberration , added a bit of contrast, sharpening, clarity, vibrance, shadows, and blacks. I decreased the highlights, whites and a little bit of vignetting to focus in on the subject being my face. Here is the before and after of the photo I edited.

Task 3 evaluation

From your findings in task 1 and 2, on your blog write a minimum of 500 words and a maximum of 800 words. Write a word comparison/evaluation on how the social media platforms like twitter, instagram, facebook snapchat and youtube are used by audiences and institutions to access and deliver specific information. Use your own examples as well as examples from the film sites that you looked at in task 2. You need to discuss 2. Discuss how a film audience uses social media to access and deliver information about the film they are seeing/ discussing. Discuss how a film company uses social media to access and deliver information about the film they have produced. From Task 1 the information I got was that most people in fact 80% of all that I asked said they used You Tube the most to watch Film Trailers. This helps me a lot because it gives a clear indication as an idea of what platform to advertise the film we are creating the most. I asked people if they used Snapchat, Facebook, Ins...

Creating an Interview

Image
Creating an Interview Make them fell comfortable, listen for a bit longer than you would actually listen normally so the audio is clean when asking the questions. Pick a good location with a good background  Make the interviewee look at the interviewer  Keep the eye contact  Nod at the interviewee to show interest  Keep the 180 degree rule to not confuse the audience The  180 °  rule  is a film guideline that says that two characters in a scene should keep the same left/right relationship to one another. If the camera passes over the line connecting the two subjects, its called crossing the line and it confuses the audience. Frame the subject in the rule of thirds  Leave a small gap at the top of the frame between the head and the edge of frame Use manual focus and a shallow depth of field Have something related to the subject the interviewee is talking about in the background if possible Keep the camera at the same...
