Never mind the buzzcocks

Last week me and my classmates watched a game show called Never Mind the Buzzcocks, it is a comedy trivia quiz show which is based around pop music. There is one team captain on each team and are joined by different music stars. An example of a popular round which happens on a show is a team member has to identify song intros which is being hummed to them. the show is broadcasted on BBC 2 and is aired for about 30 minutes. We watched Never Mind The Buzzcocks because this game show is very similar to me and my groups game show as our show is a music based game show and this show would give us inspiration on how our show should be when we start filming.

Playback of our show

On Tuesday 4th February, me and my group went to the TV studio to see a playback of our show. We watched our show to see how we progressed and what may need improving when we actually record our show. After we watched the show, I thought it was ok, but needed improving especially with the camera work as there were times where there was a lot of head space in the shot. However I thought our show was very organised as most people in my team knew what they were doing.

Proposal/ Idea

On Thursday 16^th January I had to pitch my idea in front of my group and my teacher. My idea for my show was it will be a chat/discussion show, the show will talk about different situations which young people are going through e.g. relationship problems, family problems, family issues etc... also during the show the talent/presenter will have a 60 second section where they will talk about the latest fashion, gadgets and cars.
 

My show will be aimed at young people who are aged 17-18, both male and female. I have chosen this target audience as my show is aimed at young people so some of the topics which may be discussed may link to their lives.

The set for my chat show will be very modern. There will be a stylish, comfortable sofa, table and pictures. I would like my show to be like a living room. I would like my set to be similar to Alan Carr: Chatty Man, as the set for that show is very cosy and warm and is similar to a living room.

I will be filming my show in the TV studio at college, I have chosen this location as this would be a good opportunity for me and my peers to experience how it feels to use the studio. During this production there will be no cost involved as everything will be done in college and the equipment we need will be given to us by the college.

During the show the talent will ask the guest different answers about relationship problems, family issues etc… for example ‘what is the issue between you and your mum?’ the talent will be asking these types of questions to the guest because I want the audience to know the guests situation and what the problem is.
