Our idea is to go along the lines of the shows that air on TV, like This Morning and too pick up ideas along the way to gain the most information as possible.

Researching TV Productions

Celebrity Big Brother

TO FINISH: WHY HAVE THEY DONE THIS? 

Set/location of the production: Elstree Studio.

Colour palette and tone used within the show: Bright vast colours decorated within the house.
Why have they done this? they have used bright and vast colours that is inside the set of the house, to create an eye-catching inside look and to make it look more attractive because if it was all dull and dark, it wouldn't look very appealing or exciting to look at during watching the show.

Hair and makeup: Most competitors wear studio makeup (even the boys) and the girls have different amounts of makeup on depending in what they prefer.
Why have they done this? they have done this because to make the contestants look more appealing and attractive towards the viewers. An example of this is when all the girls are dulled up, with full makeup on which would attract the boys to watch the show because they look "so attractive".

Clothes: They all bring their own clothes as they are staying in the CBB house for the amount of time they're living there for.
Why have they done this? they have done this to make their viewers make out that they are kept unto day to day trends with likeable clothing on and also could lead too how each person is portrayed and set up to be. What I mean by this is that they can have their own styles...

Presenters Performance: The presenters of the show are Emma Willis and Rylan Clark.
Why have they done this? the filming company will put in presenters that have a funny and laughable  personality to them so the viewers enjoy watching it as well as watching the celebrities inside the Big Brother house. 

Camera: There are all different camera angles during the filming of CBB from hidden cameras capturing the celebs, low shots, high view, neutral view and sometimes bird eye views.
Why have they done this? they have done this so it isn't just a current viewing of the same thing, this has been done also so they can view different shots during the programme.

Shot Types: There are extreme close ups, wide shot, medium close ups and extreme wide shot.
Why have they done this? they have done this so the shot type isn't just one whole shot. This can be filmed with all the different shot types so it looks different and this needs to as well as be changed as sometimes when they're doing a specific thing, they will need to zoom in.

Positioning: The competitors are all over the place, in the different rooms. Either in groups or individual talk when talking to Big Brother. The positioning then changes as the camera shots change.
Why have they done this? they have done this so it isn't just a current viewing and so it can show different shots via positioning of the celebrities when they're all over the place in the house (this can be when they're doing different activities)

Movement: Sometimes when the cameras move the people don't, when the people move the cameras don't but you may see that the cameras follow along with the movement of the people but you'll never see the people moving with the camera.
Why have they done this? they have done this so when they're filming it isn't just one still showing. 

Framing: The framing of the shot tries to fit in as much as they can or focus on the points that they are basing it on more. There is never a border around the framing shot because it is not needed.
Why have they done this? they have done this so the camera shot doesn't look too much into one image that is showing on the TV screen. If it was edited with a harsh colour that was used as a frame around the image of the screen, then it would be too much and would've been put there for no entire reason. 

Depth of Field: The shot of the depth of field in CBB has a huge focus on the closer object and is still viewable of the objects in the background too. Sometimes it shows a huge depth of field where all you can see is the closer object with blur in the background so the main focus is the thing nearer the camera.
Why have they done this? they have done this so it isn't just one constant showing, so this is why they have used the depth of field so it just has one whole main focus. 

Editing: There is quite a huge editing process in CBB with bad language cut out so the viewing of there programme can be shown during the day time and some things are acted for your viewing pleasure.
Why have they done this? they have done this so they can get loads more viewers onto their programme, which will create and produce the programme to become more popular and viewable - which will also lead too it having sharing trends on social media and other platforms. 

Pace: The pace of the programme can either speed up during the tension of the room and the situation that it is involved in and it can also slow down during what they're doing.

Why have they done this? they have done this so the programme doesn't drag too much as if this does happen, it can get very boring for the watcher of the programme. So, this is why it has been used so it can make a break up between the programme.

Transitions: The transition of the programme can change quite rapidly from either when they're going to bed, eating or doing challenges as a team.

Why have they done this? they have done this so the programme doesn't get too boring and so it has different viewings and activities each episode. 

Continuity/editing matches (Eyeline matches?) The programme uses a lot of editing matches and collide it into one that would divide two shots by making some form of connection between them.

Shot Duration: The duration of the shot can have a different length depending on what the camera is filming. For example: having an argument with the fellow person, which should have a duration of around 1-2mins depending on what they're doing.

Creating An Interview

Creating An Interview

• Give enough time to shoot
• Choose best place to film - picking location!!
• Make them feel comfortable
• The interviewer cannot look at the camera as the audience will find it unexpected and not a normal thing to do when interviewing and the questions being asked as it can distract the listener
• Make full eye contact 
• Listen to the person you're interviewing
• Don't interrupt them and talk over them
• Think about what's in the background as it can also cause a distraction if too much is going on
• Take the interview in a quiet place

180' Rule

If you cross that line of the 180' Rule, you will confuse your audience - the line that goes between them. The 180° rule is a cinematography guideline that states that two characters in a scene should maintain the same left/right relationship to one another. When the camera passes over the invisible axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line and the shot becomes what is called a reverse angle.

Framing

Framing, is where you use the Rule Of Thirds in your filming and then focus on each individual section. It also expands on the research by focusing on the essence of the issues at hand rather than on a particular topic. However, the concept of framing is related to the agenda-setting tradition but expands the research by focusing on the essence of the issues at hand rather than on a particular topic. The basis of framing theory is that the media focuses attention on certain events and then places them within a field of meaning.
