As Live Production: Multi-Camera Studio- Case Study Jeremy Kyle

The Jeremy Kyle Show

Jeremy Kyle is a UK talk show that is aired on ITV during the day.  It is a multi-camera studio production where people publicise there personal lives to Jeremy, who will analyse the situation and act upon it based on his 'professional' opinion. An episode I looked at was 'Woman Regrets Being Reunited With Her Biological Mother' where a women previously met her biological mother who who had her taken away from social services for 'poor parenting' when she was younger. When the daughter met with her years later and they didn't get on very well and she's debating on giving her another chance at getting along and 'patching things up'. Though it may sound strange it actually becomes very intriguing and dramatic' as Kyle involves himself in the situation and takes sides. The show also has a live audience which I feel provokes even more of a response from the people sat there feuding and being interrogated.  The reaction of audience in the show almost represents the audiences reaction at home when viewing on television.



The above YouTube clip is an extract from this episode. From this you can see it is a simple setup with a main stage and a couple of chairs (more added depending on guest size) and then the studio audience behind the main floor cameras facing the stage. At the beginning of the show, Kyle talks to the audience at home using camera autocue. Autocue is something we are unable to use in our studio production 'Steal the Style' as our budget doesn't stretch that far. Autocue is used for many broadcasters, including channel 5, the BBC and Chanel 4. "For the last 20 years or so, Autocue has been the exclusive provider of teleprompting services to all BBC News programmes, including BBC News, World News, Newsnight, Marr on Sunday and The Politics Show. (http://www.autocue.com/blog/bbc-autocue-equipment)

There is also a camera facing the audience that catches their reactions when Jeremy reveals what coming up in the show. They have a camera mounted to a crane (see image below). This camera would capture all the high angles and all the wide shots. There are also close-ups of every person on set. The show also has cameras back stage catching initial reactions from things that have been said on stage (usually shot on handheld).

When the show starts you can see the audience (usually a wide or crane) accompanied by a wide of Jeremy Kyle entering stage. When he gets to stage left there is a wide shot which gradually starts to zoom in as he introduces todays story. The first guest of the show comes from back stage so the camera focuses on her and tracks her as she goes to sit down from the stage left stage.
Having worked on 'Watchdog'I was able to see the set for Jeremy Kyle first hand as it is filmed in the same studios (Dock10 Studios, Salford, Manchester). From this I found that the rest of the set around the scenery is the same as any studio which makes me feel like we at UCA have such an advantage that we are able to study this unit and produce our own show in an industry used and standard environment.

Story Telling Unit-Camera Workshop 3: 180 degree rule

Image
In today's workshop we were split up into groups and given a one page script and asked to film two characters discussing the 180 degree rule . The key to this task was understanding this rule and applying it. The script was a very basic duologue; the two characters come together, sit down across from each other and have a small conversation until one leaves at the end after understanding the 180degree rule. I chose to have my version with an entrance of one of the characters who is late for a meeting regarding this rule. The dialogue then starts as he begins to explain the 180 degree rule. My idea was to have them both on 'oppersite' sides of the  table, which could have appeared more tense, until the character understands the rule, the tension is broken when the first character leaves. I also wanted to test this rule with the entrance of the first character. I really enjoyed this worksop and found it useful in learning and understanding the 180 degree rule. I di...

Pre-Production: Social Media Promotion

Image
Television series or documentaries don't typically have websites about them, this is something done more with films. However, I felt it was important to include it on our companies website briefly but have links to social media. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evidencewithheld/ I decided to create a brief facebook page and a twitter page. These are two major platforms; I don't want to include an Instagram promotional page, as ideally, I would like to include advertising through Instagram pop-up ads which would appeal on peoples feeds. With encryption, what people like and the search will relate to the adverts that come up on their feeds, so people who are interested in Netflix, documentaries or crime and justice, this should come up as an advert. "77% agree with the statement "I wish there were a way to ad-filter instead of ad-block completely."(VIEO Design, 2018) It is so easy and useful with today's social media and technology to get your conten...

News Production: DIY Tech

Image
I am working in a group with Jack, Gavin and Simon and today we had a brainstorm after our unit briefing to find out what we could make a news channel on. We really liked one of the examples of the work of previous students who's target audience was students. We found this something that we could relate to ourselves so would be something we would be passionate about and take an interest in. Our first idea was to base it on university courses where students are made to pay for their own materials rather than the universities providing it. It was also about students taking courses in nursing and how there has been a significant drop in people choosing such courses as a result of the rise in uni fees and having their funds cut (previously the government would fund those degrees). For a segment of each episode I though it would be a good idea to do something more light-hearted too. We want it to engage our target audience of students by keeping it humorous and interesting without ...
