Studio Production: Further Research
For further research i looked into a few television programs to better my knowledge of what it takes to be a good director and to watch programs from a directors point of view. To see how they are cut and what kind of feel the shows have. Also to understand further with regards to anticipation of events and when to cut to them. Also further research went into professional opinions and guidance into being a director of live TV and also an insight into a professional standard TV Studio.
Are You Smarter Than A 10 Year Old
Are You Smarter Than A 10 Year Old, is a close replication to what we are trying to achieve with our program. The premise of ours however is to focus on a younger audience and more for a CBBC like channel. None the less looking at this program was a good source for research to see how the director of this show decided to cut it gave me something to think about. The general coverage of this show is quite simple and the handheld beginning where the children enter the set is a very nice shot. Something that we will look to draw inspiration on or use in a different but equally stylish way.

The speed of which this is cut and with the amount of different cameras was a real eye opener during my research. It made me realize that as director you need to be 5 seconds ahead of what actually goes live. The director needs to foresee what is going to happen to the best of his/her ability and know exactly when and what to cut too.
While i will not be using nearly as many cameras and there is a much smaller margin for error its an eye opener to how live shows really are and being ready for literally anything and being able to, as director, make quick reacting decisions while maintaining calm on talk back to the rest of the team, ensuring the show runs smoothly.
Profile: Multi- Camera Directing
This BBC Profile article was a great source of info into understanding how a professional multi-camera director works. It helped me compare what I was doing to how the professionals did it. This allowed me to see what I was doing wrong and how I could improve and also provide tips to make the whole studio production run smoother.

Guide to a TV Studio
Even though our University is based at the Maidstone Studios, it was good to get a full in depth description into how a production works. It was very interesting to see the professional process and once again this allowed me to compare it to our own and see how a group of students matched up. It gave us a benchmark standard of professionalism which, we as a production team wanted to achieve. Giving insights into things like studio etiquette and the importance of communication.
