Studio Production - Show Research/Camera/Shotlist

So, creating a shot list shouldn't be too difficult for this project, if I collate research from shows that I have watched that are based on this type of program it'll help me create a decent shot list. I only have to do the first 15 minutes of the show so essentially 15 minutes I need to consider. Referring back to my set design it'll give you a good idea of what to expect from my type of shooting. The coverage is the most important factor, but at the same time there is enough cameras to transition shots.

Now as of next week I have a studio workshop with hans so I can get some tips on how to formulate a shot list and wanting it to make sense. In the meantime, I have been studying shows such as loose women, sweat the small stuff because they have the same sort of vibe as the show, with panelists.

Now even though sweat the small stuff is a game show but has a really 'hip' vibe thats designed for the same target audience. The shots are quite snappy to keep the viewers attention and has a lot of audience interaction. In our production we shall be getting audience shots before the  production so that is something that won't be in the shot list but shall be captured beforehand.

Now Loose Women has seemed to have a smaller set due to some budget constraints (seems to have cut down since I tuned in a couple of years ago. But saying that, our budget isn't to high so its almost ideal for research. Starting with a crane camera would be nice, snapping to a close up of the anchor, then cutting between the screen and the guests on the panel when they are being introduced. As long as we keep up with whats being said, most of it would be on the fly. alot of the time will be taken on the VT's so when I have my workshop with hans I shall ask about filming many talent at once on the fly and the time taken.
