Evaluation of chat show
The lighting in my chat show was not very good, it created problems as we had to shut off all the lights in the room and only have one row open at the front where we set up the equipment, tables etc. Also we was using a green screen so we had to separately set up the lights for that as well, which meant it had to be in front of the table and so we had problems adjusting them to be at a good angle so that it covered the green-screen and also didn't get in the cameras way, another problem with the lighting was that it effected the green screen as it created shadows as it was shining on us and then creating a shadow behind us, also the lights of the green screen do overheat very quickly so we only turned them on when we needed them and had to do it mostly in one take, and we cut it if we did a mistake or there was a delay, so we had to stop the cameras and then re-record which may have effected the continuity of the show, but it was amended in the editing stage to a reasonable level.
Another problem was actually setting up the equipment, due to the classroom being quite restricted in terms of space we had to work our way around the tables and chairs that were set up in the classroom, as we were only two people we had to film me coming onto the stage and the guest as well, so one of us had to operate the camera while the other one was walking and since the host and guest shake hands to greet each other it was hard to pull off, so we had to cut it and make sure it looked good in the editing stage. The green screen was not very large that we could work with, so we had to place it at an angle that worked with the lighting the cameras and the actual guests and the host. This was quite difficult but we managed to do it, setting up equipment in a good way, was more difficult than actual filming as it took a lot of time. Once it was done then we could start filming which was relatively easier than getting every piece of equipment perfect.
The green screen was the most visible problem in my chat show, as the lighting and the way we set up the green screen meant that there was a few gaps in our green screen, so when i tried to add in a city background in the editing stage it did not turn out well, there was creases in the cloth and so when the background was placed in the back it looked very low quality and also some parts did not come out properly, and due to the shadow we created it made the green screen look weird behind us, and so to amend this problem, the best solution i came up with was to put a white background so that the green screen did not go to waste.
Framing the shots was also another problem i faced, due to the limited space we had i had to place the cameras in front of the lights, and so they were in a weird angle and having to accommodate for a two-shot for both people, and a shot to focus on the guest, was quite difficult to manage. Moving the camera forward meant that it had to be raised for the intro of my chat show, and once it was placed down, the transition between my intro and me meeting the guest was not done very good, as we are not in frame for the first 3 seconds of the shot, and it shows us sitting down, which would not happen in actual chat shows.
The audio quality of my chat show, was good and the added sound effect and music that i added, added to the overall quality of the show, however at the start, where i am meeting the guest, the audience clapping sound effect does get cut off quite quickly, due to me talking after we sit down, and the cut is quite abrupt, which may disorientate the audience, but overall it was good in my chat show.The visual quality in my chat show was good, however the framing and the green screen added made the chat show look bad, due to the creases on the chat show, and the white background i added didn't make it that much better, the framing was biased towards the guest, so i was sometimes not in full view.
The transitions i added in the editing stage, made the scenes flow together, but they could of been improved, as due to the green screen when there was a transition, the two characters would disappear and with the black screen in the background it would then transition into the next scene, this was not done very good, real chat shows would not have this problem, due to them not having a green screen.
Other than technical issues, me personally could have used more techniques from existing chat shows and implemented them into my chat show. Such as keeping eye contact with the guest for more longer, not looking down or at the camera, also using more hand gestures to keep the audience engaged.
