Chat show proposal
For my presentation i will do a chat show, as i am known to be quite talkative, and i am not shy to talk or use gestures in front of the camera, i would prepare pre-set questions and then show them to my interviewee so that they have an idea as to where i am coming from, however their answers will be natural and i will react naturally their reaction as well, i am quite good at thinking on the spot and i would not make it awkward for the interviewee as i am quite good at carrying on conversations, although this would require for me to interview some one i am comfortable to to talk and laugh with, i would add a few aspects of humour to keep the audience engaged as they would laugh at a memorable joke or activity that we are doing.My target audience would be ranging from 18-30 years of age, all races, A-E socio-economic class and all races and ethnicity. I selected these target audiences as i think they would enjoy a chat show the most as they are the ranges as to where they follow celebrities and their life and look up to them as as role model. I think we will all do our show's in the classroom, with possibly a green screen to make an authentic background suiting the con text of the show that we are all going to do, this would require me to find an image of a chat show that is empty, or if not, we could just place to two tables together and i could sit on the other end and my guest will sit on the other end. The visual techniques that i will use would be through the use of my hands to do gestures, to emphasise or visualise something to the audience, also facial expressions relevant to the response or situation that we are in with the interviewee.
The people who are going to be involved are obviously me, as the presenter. and the interviewee count i am not sure at this moment. but i think no more than 3. preferably 1 as this would mean i focus on one guest and so talk and engage with them more in depth rather than talking to a lot of guests just on the surface. I was thinking of doing it with one of my class members, preferably a friend so that we can keep the conversation going easier and that there is no awkwardness during the show.
The problems that i could encounter is that i maybe cannot find a empty image of a studio that looks like a chat show, which means that i would have to find a location that does not have anything that obstructs or looks out of place when i am doing my show, as i cannot do a green screen and a suitable background will be needed. Another problem is that my friends or people in my class may not be available to go through the questions that i have written before, or they might not want to be in front of the camera, or they would just be busy doing their own presentation.
Game show host
If i cannot do a chat show host then i would do a game show host, as it is more straightforward as i just need contestants to play a game, and then i comment and encourage them through my dialogue, the game would be simple like catchphrase or countdown, where the contestant compete together, i would announce the score/points of each contestant and encourage the contestant that are falling behind by saying that they have time to catch up etc. I just have to respond to their answers and tell them to keep pushing forward. I would still have to dress smartly, maybe not a full suit, but dressing smart is a must. I have chosen this role as i think it would be easy for me to do besides having a competition would mean that the contestant would do some of the talking as they would try to guess or discuss, argue etc. I also chose this role because it requires you to constantly speak and say things to the competitors of the game, and i am good at speaking non-stop, i could just say things that comes to my mind, i am good at improvising.
My target audience would depend on the game i choose, but generally i think 13-30 age range, A-E socio-economic class, all races and ethnicities. Some game shows require more intelligence and general knowledge which would appeal to more older audiences as they would have more general information and experience that younger audiences, where as younger audiences might enjoy a more specific or physical type competition which would appeal to younger audiences more.
The verbal and visual techniques that i will be using is that i would have a calm tone, that would relax the competitors and also get them more engaged, i would add humour or jokes in the game show, if it is a less serious game show where the atmosphere is more laid-back, but some game shows depend to make the game show more serious and make it more dramatic especially if there is a large sum of money to be won at the end. the verbal techniques i would use are that i would be consistent in my speech often repeating words or phrases to show the importance of it, my pace of delivery would be at a normal/quick speed, again depending on the show as if it is the final or it is a difficult situation i would probably speak slowly to create suspense and excitement for the audience. The visual techniques that i will be using is the use of hand gestures, and facial expressions to explain or tell the situation tot he audience, why i would dress would be casual. or smart casual, so a full suit not needed but to look presentable wearing smartly is a good choice. I would have to also have good body posture as i am sitting down, slouching or lying down would not look professional or good, and would confuse the audience as that is not normal.
The location of the game show would be in the school, i would most probably do a quiz like show, where i ask contestant questions, and they compete to answer it right. the contestants are going to be my friends from school as finding other people would take long, The location would probably be in a classroom so that i can sit at the front and ask them questions.
The problems that i might encounter is that, if i make the question too hard then my competitors will not know any of the questions and it could ruin the whole show, and it would also be awkward. Another problem is that i might not be able to find an empty classroom or be able to gather enough contestants for my game show, at a given time which could lead to confusion and not being able to do it on time.
I am possibly thinking of drawing inspiration from the game show The chase, where the contestants challenge a 'mastermind' on questions to try and raise money by answering questions. The presenter usually sides with the contestants and encourages them on and gives them praise if they answer a question wrong. the presenter is usually calm in his tone of voice and keeps it relaxed, does talk with the 'mastermind' if they both get a question wrong and says the right answer, then moves on, there is a small use of hand gestures to try and visualise an answer.

Food Program Presenter
My last option would to do a recipe program where i teach the audience how to make a 'new' recipe, this is where i would need to tell the audience what i am doing every in every step, i would also give tips or advice to how to do certain things to make it taste better or the meal to be cooked quicker, i would also relate it to family meals as, most of the people that watch these type of shows are parents and so they could relate to the situation. I would use a lot of hand gestures to emphasise parts of the recipe that is crucial or to make an impact on people to try and make them eat healthy foods. I would not have to wear smartly as i would be in a 'home' environment, but i would have to still be wearing appropriate clothes, i would also have to take care of the 'hygiene' aspect as to make sure that my audience also follow my steps.
My target audience would be 18-30, B-D socio-economic class, all races and ethnicities. I chose this age range because this is when people start to learn and have to cook for themselves so they would tune into these type of shows to learn. I chose a B-D economic class because i think the people with economic class of A would usually have someone else preparing the meal for them, and the economic class of E would probably not have enough money to be able to purchase all the 'special' ingredients required for the recipe.
The visual techniques that the presenter would use is excessive use of hand gestures as they need to exaggerate or emphasise certain points of the recipe, and to also show quick or tips on certain parts of the recipe, use of facial expressions to express their emotions and feelings, and they would have good posture usually standing up as they will be cooking, they would have to face the camera most of the time, and go through each step. The verbal techniques would be that they speak in a fast pace as they are trying to get all the steps done quickly, have a calm tone of voice in order not to panic the audience, also consistent in recreating words or phrases to emphasize a point by repeating it many times to the audience.
Since it is a cooking show it would have to take place in a kitchen, as i would have to cook the meal and show it to the audience, showing the ingredients etc. and then show how to prepare the meal. It could either be in the Kitchen in school, or in my house.
The problems that i could face is that i could not have permission to use the kitchens in both locations which would mean that i would have to find an alternative which could take long, and also a personal barrier, i would have to actually learn the recipe and cook it perfectly, and if i'm cooking then i need someone to be able to record me from different angles shots etc. As if i am alone then it would just be one angle and shot continuing which would make the audience less interested over time as it is the same shot.
I would take inspiration from Jamie's 30 minute meals. As he cooks food quickly and tells every step of the way to the audience. He is in a home environment and usually wears casual clothing, uses his hands a lot and gives small tips and tricks to get more taste and flavour out of each meal, i will follow in his footsteps but with a far less complicated recipe. Jamie is usually quite frantic and quick to do things in his show, so i may have to make it a bit more slower as i do not have a 30 minute time limit that i have to compete the meal.
