The climax of your day is presenting
not one but TWO of your very own magazine shows - complete with 3D title
sequence featuring the show’s name and music, multiple cameras,
videotape inserts, an interview and more...
-
For this extremely ambitious
project you’re working with three cameras simultaneously. You’ll
also be working with radio talkback - in other words, you’ll
wear an “earpiece” through which you might get timings,
instructions from the director, last-minute updates etc.
-
It’s
recorded as if it was a live show. So, once the show’s started
there’s no going back and you’re in the driving seat! And
because it’s “live”, there’s always the possibility
that things may not go totally to plan - for example, you could lose
your Autocue, a film clip may break down, or you could suddenly be
called upon to ad-lib. In fact, we may even throw a spanner in the
works on purpose...
-
Prior
to the show, you’ll have plenty of time to prepare and familiarise
yourself with an individual authentic studio script provided by us,
as well as research your chosen guests. Remember though, this script
is just a framework - therefore, if you wish, it’s a simple matter
to slightly deviate from it, enabling you to stamp your own personality,
uniqueness and style on the shows.
-
There’s
a thorough briefing on each programme’s structure and content
before we go “on-air”, as well as the opportunity to discuss
any additional thoughts or requirements you may have. Everyone will
have an “on-air time”, so if you’re not ready at the
appointed hour, we go without you - just like the real thing!
-
First
of all, there’s an opening title sequence featuring the show’s
name, accompanied by moving pictures and music. On cue, you'll then
introduce the programme and launch into a brief feature or review,
taking your words from Autocue.
-
Constantly
monitoring instructions down your earpiece from the production staff,
you must wind the interview up on time, thank your guest and then
- as the closing music starts - “trail” next week’s
programme, finishing on time to the second.
-
And
then there’s a short break, before you do the whole thing again,
only this time you’ll have a different guest and the running
time of your second show will be slightly longer. And remember that
both magazine shows are recorded onto your tape.
-
You’ll
find this the most challenging and exciting part of the day, since
it brings together the wide range of skills you’ve been introduced
to. It's also a very advanced exercise - in fact, many professional
presenters have never had the benefit of such "live" presenting
experience. And - as past participants always seem amazed to discover
- by using the studio’s resources and staff to the full, the
finished product looks just like the genuine article.
