Treatment

In this post I will be developing my ideas for a Magazine Show produced using the multi-camera format that is aimed at a target audience of 14 - 20. I will be designing the layout of the studio, the logo and name of the programme and deciding what music videos to include as well as what people are chosen to present the show.
Mood board:
This is my mood board which consists of images and themes that I have taken inspiration from and would like to include some elements in my programme, for example i would like there to be at least 2 presenters in order to have different views and a more varied conversation with artists. 

Programme Format:
I am going to model my show on T4, this is because that format is very popular and has been going for 10 years without changing the programme layout much. I will take elements from the show such as the studio layout and combine it with my idea for a show more associated with some less mainstream music genres as well as the more current popular music.

Title of Show:
I have decided to call my programme FLM (Forever Loving Music), I have also created a logo for the programme loosely based on the T4 logo.  This accurately portrays the image that I want my show to have. As the title says this programme is all about music all the time and is aimed at an audience that truly loves music. Also abbreviating the name so that its quicker and easier to say, similar to the way teenagers text each other, this increases its appeal to the audience. 



Content ideas:

  • Rate 'n' Slate Wall - One idea that I had was to include a wall of the studio dedicated to rating and slating current and old songs/bands, called the"Rate and Slate Scale" this is based on the cool wall on top gear. 
  • White Washed - This includes a section of the show where the presenters talk about any songs or artists that were expected to do well with a new single or album and have failed miserably or have been "White Washed". This appeals to the nature of some of teenage viewers and will increase the viewers. 
  • News - In my programme I would include a news section where the presenters discuss new artists and any up and coming artists that people should know about, giving them more publicity and helping unknown artists gain publicity.


Running Order:

  • Opening sequence / Graphics ( 1 minute)
  • Intro of presenters and the topic of today's show ( 2 minutes)
  • Introduce artists / watch first music video ( 4 minutes)
  • Interview 1st artist ( 3 minutes)
  • Rate 'n' Slate Wall ( 2 minutes)
  • Watch 2nd and 3rd music videos ( 6 minutes)
  • Interview other two artists ( 6 minutes)
  • White Washed section ( 2 minutes)
  • Music News ( 3 minutes)
  • Introduce next programme ( 1minute)
  • Total ( 30 minutes)

Studio Design:

Sketch of Background:
For the background of the set I will have a Large 3D model of my programmes logo it will be placed in front of a coloured background, I have linked the title of my show into the set design emphasising it even more.




















Visual Style:
My programme will be in keeping with the standard layout of a magazine show like the One Shoe or T4 with a three camera multi-cam format that will shoot the presenters with one camera from the right, another will shoot the guests from the left and a third camera set further back will be able to show long shots of the entire set. I Will also have Camera 2 pan around following the presenters as they walk across to the Rate 'n' Slate wall so as not to have any of the other cameras in shot. I would also use a 4th camera to film a close up of one presenter as they gave the daily Music News, this would be shot with them sitting behind a desk to give it a more formal feel.


Presentation Style:
For the show Morgan & Shryia are the presenters, they have been chosen because they both have upbeat personalities that are well suited to this type of programming and their personal style is in keeping with the current styles and trends. I would have them present in a fairly informal manor, using current slang and using humour a lot more than some other Magazine shows. I think that this will relate more to the target audience and improve the image of the programme.
They will be dressed in relatively casual clothes which will be in keeping with the feel of the show and help them to feel more comfortable on set, but not to the extent that they could be described as scruffy.
