Chat Show Evaluation

Chat Show Evaluation

During the filming for my Chat show I tried to perfectly get everything correct for example lighting, shots etc. But when filming I had gathered up a few people to help with setting up cameras, lights and also just controlling the camera overall but my camera woman made a mistake with one of the camera when we actually filmed it but having both the cameras showing the exact same shot therefore there was not a lot I could do with the other shots so during the editing process I had to crop the image of the shot that I wanted which was of just my guest. 

The overall outcome of the Chat show did not meet my original intentions because I had actually planned to use a green screen showing a city view but due to a technical difficulty with the lights etc it was decided that we would just use a curtain background which I had access to. Doing a focus grouped really helped me decide what I needed to add and change about my chat show to fit the audience since its aimed for them.

Chat Show Process

Chat Show Process 

For this unit I did an excessive amount of research for my chat show I have researched into a variety of different presenting roles and to a process of elimination I decided to do a chat show since I thought that would benefit me the most since I watch more chat shows than I do other shows such as cooking shows, makeover shows, magazine shows etc. Therefore I thought I would do better with a chat show than anything else since I know the general structure, what usually happens the type of conversation that is brought up between the host and their guest so I thought it would ultimately be the better option for me. This research was very helpful for me because it helped me pinpoint my strengths and weakness throughout each show and at the end of it the chat show outweighed everything else in terms of strength. 

Some of the difficulties that I faced during the rehearsal process is that it was difficult to come up with a schedule as to when I would be free, and my guest and also my location, also when rehearsing it took a lot of practice to try get into the character that you are trying to perceive for example I'm the host so i had to try and get my mind into the role of the host so I had to try and take control over the whole conversation which was difficult for me since I had to practice that a lot during rehearsal and also we had problems practicing with our lights that we wanted to use since we did not have the right professional there to do it since he had other commitments.

Mercedes: Good evening everyone and welcome to the late show with me Mercedes Harrison. We have some really amazing guests for you this evening. My first guest tonight is one of the biggest music stars on the planet right now. So lets just get straight into the show shall we. So please join me in giving a warm welcome to tonight's special guest Selim Nas. 

(Audience applauses as Selim walks on to the stage, Mercedes stands up and shakes her hand)


Mercedes: Selim ladies and gentlemen. Please make yourself comfortable. 


(Selim sits down on the chair but the crowd gets louder every time her name is called) 


Mercedes: Selim the fans love you


(Both Selim and Mercedes laugh)


Mercedes: So How are you Selim?


Selim: Yeah I'm really good, and I'm so excited to be on your show I've wanted to be on your show for so long. 


Mercedes: Wow really? 


Alberta: Yes all I ever hear is great things about you and the show. 


Mercedes: Aww that's really nice of you to say. You can come back again. 


(Selim and Mercedes laugh and audience applauds) 

Mercedes: I have heard some news about you this week. That you are now engaged. 

Selim: yes I am, and I'm the most excited that I have ever been in my life. 

Mercedes: how did you propose? 

Selim: I tried to make it romantic as possible but it never worked out that way. I planned a nice dinner at home that I cooked when she walked through the door she was so surprised and as I get on one knee and ask her to marry me I accidentally spill the glass of red wine all over her white blouse it was a disaster but she said yes anyway. 

Mercedes: well that's a great story to one day to tell the children

Selim: it definitely is 

Mercedes: well congratulations.

Selim: thanks so much. 

Mercedes: let's talk about this movie Revenge you have coming out. Tell us a bit about it. 

Selim: it's a horror slash comedy and it's about a boy who gets revenge on these two girls. But I'm not going to say how, or why or anything else because I really want it to be a surprise for everyone and besides if I say anything else I get into serious trouble. But I am really excited for everyone to see it. 

Mercedes: Wow I'm excited to see it and I'm guessing the fans are excited to see it. 

Selim: I really hope so, there has been so much work and effort that has been put into making the movie the cast and crew have all worked very hard. 

Mercedes: it sounds so amazing I'm not a big horror fan but by the all the things I've heard of it I'm definitely going to watch it. 

Selim: its a great film and I'm not just saying that because I'm in the movie I'm saying it because it's got such a good storyline. 

Mercedes: well I am so pleased, when does the movie actually come out in cinema? 

Selim: it's out on the 24th of November, so please make sure that you all go an watch it.

Production Log 2

Production Log 2


I have been creating all my pre production paperwork. I have completed my production schedule  that I took the time to try and precisely do my production schedule however things kept changing for example the days to use my location continues to change because of different events that were happening, also work from other classes for me, my camera woman and guest continued to pile up or we were busy so it was quite difficult to pinpoint an exact day to film the chat show. Also another thing that I have also done my shooting script that gives me an idea of each shot to take which would take a shorter amount of time to do when actually filming.
