Our idea for the live show "The Name Of The Game" is a live game show where generations of forms of gaming are brought together for a half hour of funny, puzzling and exciting entertainment. The Crystal Maze is similar to The Name of The Game in many ways, it does have the previously listed qualities included in it but many more as well.  The Episode of The Crystal Maze I watched was Series 6 Episode 6: "Celebrity Crystal Maze", this episode was first broadcast in July of 2019. The Crystal Maze is a game show where a team of usually 5, compete in different themed lands to complete challenges solving puzzles, riddles and timed trials. Once completing these tests the contestants are given "time crystals" that secure them time in a dome where they must catch gold tickets that guarantee they will go home with the money they've raised through the game. However if they catch more silver tickets than gold, they lose the money. The show is presented by comedia

  Project Evaluation: From the moment our group began developing “U2D News” it was unanimously decided that we would be focussing on stories that concerned people in our age group, mostly big issues and sometimes a way to lessen these issues with good alternative mindsets. We decided that the best target audience to target would be the age range of 16-40 years old and we would go for a light and vibrant colour palette, commonly used on quick, digestible news programmes. We then began researching into issues that were targeting our demographic and we noticed that the most relevant and growing story would be that on the rise of spiking’s in the UK and how they have been affecting people. We also decided we needed to focus on a climate change-based story, so we chose sustainable fashion as a subject, a light but still serious story that people can actively engage in. We then began researching the topics and figuring out the structure of the show, influenced by BBC Newsround and online

They also leave the body within a short amount of time making them hard to detect. Reference: https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/staying-safe-while-drinking/drink-spiking-and-date-rape-drugs     According to the NHS, alcohol is used more commonly than drugs to spike drinks 1 . Shots of alcohol can be added to drinks to make them stronger. This causes someone to get drunk much quicker than expected. Rohypnol (or Roofie) and Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) are the most commonly known ‘date-rape’ drugs. Both drugs can be used to commit physical and sexual assaults as they can sedate or incapacitate a victim, making them more vulnerable to attack. Recreational drugs like Ecstasy, Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), Ketamine and other ‘party-drugs’ are sometimes used to s

  Panasonic & Green Screen Workshop: In our Panasonic & Green Screen Workshops we had the chance to really get to terms with some new equipment. In the Panasonic camera workshop, we got taught the basics, where which button was, how the menu works and some important formatting tips. We spent the majority of the workshop setting the camera up before taking it out to test shoot as this is more complicated than any camera we’ve used before. We shot a brief test intro for our news show we have been devising, U2D News. The footage we shot came out well however we shot in front of a predominantly white background which messed with the white balance and lighting. However, we will not be using a background like this when it comes to our final project. The next day we worked on our Green Screen skills, we spent a lot of time setting up and making sure our lighting bounced well off the model, who was also me. We faced a challenge of setting up the lights in a way that didn’t reflect

  Analysis of entire news programme relevant to own project: News Programme: Newsround Episode 08/10/21 Let’s start with the structure of Newsround, I went into this with some previous knowledge on the structure of a Newsround episode, as in one of my previous blog posts I went into the structure of Newsround a little bit. The show begins with the Anchor making a silly and light-hearted welcome to the viewer, already putting the viewer in a relaxed vibe. After a brief 10 second graphic intro with the Newsround logo and jingle, the show starts with a serious story about footballer Marcus Rashford and the important work he’s been doing for people on universal credit. This story’s tone results in it being first as it would be a weird inclusion when right next to the light stories about general interest subjects. We then get a website plug, promoting a written story on a similar topic, before going into a story in the middle ground of tone, fairly simple story about football managers.

  BBC News Live News Item: BBC News News at Ten Episode date: 04-10-21 This BBC News Live Item is focused on The Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp Shutdown, which is at this time known as the longest time these social net works have been shutdown for. This report was made whilst the subject was still not resolved, which means some of the material in this report may not be the same in future tense. BBC News Live Items follow a very specific structure, but it is an affective one to use. When the Anchor introduces the story, he almost tells the whole thing, but instead of leaving it at that, we get to hear more detail of how these events transpired. As the story begins, we see relevant imagery, B-roll of a globe showing connective sparks coming out of every country slowly fade away as we see the companies’ responses to shutting down. We then get the rundown of the situation from an expert in the form of a zoom interview. Hearing them talk about this so easily makes you as an audience me
