1. O'Connor and Chaotic Life: A Critique
Before I changed it, I simply introduced her and then she spoke for about three minutes on her own. I thought that this would be boring for an audience and there was little point in me being present. I split up her long drawn out speech and involved myself, as a presenter into the convosaion by asking her questions.
I contributed as much as I could to the development of the project despite the set back of being completely left out of the script writing process. I felt that if I couldn't do things with the group then I would try to contribute in other ways. I went into the city and spent around four hours collecting as many shop related posters as I could, I obtain four huge shop window graphics as well as many smaller posters. I also made the cue cards used on the show. I also felt it would be beneficial for me and indeed the rest of the group if I researched consumer affairs programmes and studied how the presenters behaved on these shows. I recorded and watched back numerous episodes of "watch dog" from BBC one and made notes of the presenter's behaviour, the style and I made myself aware of what the presenters were wearing.
This enabled me to grasp the role on a professional level. The presenters on the show were always relaxed and quite informal. They also appeared rather lighthearted at times and made small jokes, especially when talking about an unimportant issue. I also noticed that the presenters acknowledge each other, in speech and in the form of body language. They look at each other and play off what the other one has said.
I suggested to the other member of the script writing team that we should include dialogue between the two presenters but they didn't agree so, as the final programme shows, as presenters Emilie and I didn't interact on screen.
I did, how ever, try to acknowledge Emilie as much as possible when filming, by looking at her when she spoke and I feel this worked well even though it was not reciprocated.
