Having only 6 big movie studios in hollywood has got positives and negatives. Some of the positives are that we can watch high budget films that are good quality, whereas if we just had loads of little companies they would not have the money for a high budget. The big companies have also more time to produce their film and train people. Some negative are the people that own the companies chooses what they want us to see which sometimes means their views on things also because there are only 6 big companies we often see the same type of film over and over again

Channel 21 news Set Design

Set design - Set desiging is a huge part which makes a television news show sucsssful, using the space and the equipment you have to your advantage. Above you can see many different ways in which news show use there space to conduct an interesting set design, which is interesting the the audience, working with ket features, like having windows looking onto london.

We as a production team were inspired by many set designs, from news shows. Below you can see out basic set design.

We took into consideration, the time of day which our news show would be broadcasted, as many morning/day time shows have a more relaxed set, with sofas, and photos on coffee tables. However during the evening, the sets become more formal, with desk and laptops.

Lighting - Lights are a huge part of studios as you want to light the studio well, but keep the light natural, letting the audience feel like the presenters are in a room, and not a studio. Having been in a news studio myself, and seeing the light set ups, i understood that studios use artificial lighting, was lights the studio how the sun would light it. We as a production team have decided to follow the same lighting rule, although we have been given coloured paper to change the lighting colour.
