Introduction.
For my research folder I looked into various types of
televisions genres and shows. The two I am going to mainly focus on and look
into are Studio production. Studio production is television productions which
are filmed in chosen studios. The other type of production I am going to look
into is Live productions which are shows that are filmed live at certain
places/ time. I then chose four television shows that interested me and were of
course multi-camera productions which fell into those two categories. I then
had to analyse the multi camera productions making notes to put into a blog eventually.
When analysing the multi-camera productions I had to keep referring back to the
question I was given by my lecturer (What
is the reasons for multi-camera use?) So here are my chosen Live TV multi-
camera shows with examples.
Studio
Production: X-Factor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziv1L2SvYuU
The first multi-camera studio production I decided to look at
was the X-factor, as I feel this is a prime example of a studio production
using multi-cameras, as there are several areas to travel around the X-factor
studio. However I couldn’t write a whole Analysis on all of the shows as there
have been so many shows it would take too long; so I decided to write it on the
live shows; choosing one in particular that I had watched and decided to focus
on was the live show on the 7th October where Ella Henderson sung.
During X-factor they use a great number of multiple cameras because there are
various places to go around the X-factor studio(s) which for the live shows is
at the foundation studios. They have to use multi cameras to cover all of the
action going on. I think that the target audience for this type of show is
young children to adults as this show is for many generations to enjoy.
Coverage of
action.
The x-factor studios have a range of cameras. From the clip I
watched there were several camera angels being used. There was one camera that
seemed to pan around Ella whilst she was singing, standing facing the judges.
There seem to also be a camera static in front of her showing a wide shot as
she was walking towards the judges looking at the camera/ audience singing.
There was also a shot called a crane shot. This is where there is a camera on a
crane fitting that can pan in close across the audience, this helps the camera
operators use far shots when showing something like Ella on stage and the
judges and audience in the background. It is also helpful when introducing the
show right at the very start of the programme.
Communication
meaning to the viewers.
When it comes to communicating the meaning to the viewer X-Factor is a great
example of this. As this show is a studio production, the camera operators show
the reactions from the host(s), actors and the audience to show their emotions
and also all the excitement and action going on across the studio. In this
instance the camera operators would mainly focus on the judges reactions as the
judges are the people who decide on what happens to the acts and gives them
feedback. The X-Factor wouldn’t be as great with communicating the meaning to
the viewers as the news; however X-Factor still do communicate the meaning to
the viewers by showing the reactions of the host and more importantly the
judges. The whole point of X-Factor is to have people participate in a
competition to win a record label and be able to make songs like contestants
have done in the past.
Visual Style.
From what shows I’ve seen from the X-Factor this year is really great,
it makes you feel involved and more engaged in the show when you can vote for
who you want to stay, win etc. The show is always very colourful. So the visual
style is really interesting the way everything is situated together and also
the colour scheme is a re-occurring theme as it is always red, blue and white.
However they also use stage lights which are normally different colours for
different acts/ performances the same as the backdrops. The screenshots below
show the different colour lighting demonstrating the visual style.
Maintaining
the viewer’s interest.
So as we have already talked about communicating the meaning to the viewers, we
also have to consider how X-Factor maintains its viewer’s interest. Sometimes
shows like this can get reasonably “heated” as it is varied in its content and
visually varied, unlike the Olympics and Reading festival are. However not many studio shows are visually varied, as
they’re only filmed in one studio (Usually the normal aspect) This can make it
more difficult to motivate the viewers enough to carry on watching but with
something like the X-factor it’s more bubbly and really engages in the audience
especially as the contestants are singing and getting feedback.
So how
would the camera operators or producers do this with multi-cameras? In my
opinion the first thing that is the most common aspect to look for in a studio
or live production is the varied camera shots and angles. It’s a multi camera
production so as I mentioned at the start there would be lots of cameras
scattered around the studio. I did talk about some types of camera shots and
angles above but this helped for the viewer’s interest. However for maintaining
the viewer’s interest for example I found that the camera is seen panning
around Ella as she’s singing showing the judges and audience in front of
her. Any little movements or changes to
the angles can defer the audience from being bored of the same scenery like
when the camera shows the contestants going off stage to talk to their family
supporting them or the other contestants. I feel that this helps the audience
to become more engaged in the show too as it’s a whole different scenery that
they’re seeing so it won’t bore them. Also I feel the contestants engage more
in the show when the contestants go to the judge’s houses. Which in my opinion
I would say that the audience may possibly find it intriguing. Also considering
the editing of the show and VT’s, the way the shows edited makes it more
interesting too. The whole thing I like about X-factor is the “heated” points
as it makes you feel more engaged with the show, making you feel like you’re
involved.
Constraints
of studio Location or environment Location.
I assume the number one constraint to think about is the
confined space within a studio. I did mention this briefly mentioned at the
start of this Analysis. As it’s a studio production the studio will be among
several other studios in the building, making the space considerably confined.
I assume this would also depend on the shows content and how they use the
studio. As for something like the x-factor they need a rather big amount of
space so they would have to plan their layout of the studio to make everything
fit as they need their studio for the audience, judges, space on the stage and
behind the stage for dressing rooms, so the studio is essentially made for
that.
Studio
production: Million pound drop live.
So the second multi-camera
studio production I decided to look at was the million pound drop live, as I
feel this is another prime example of a studio production using multi-cameras,
as there are several areas to travel around the million pound drop studio. However
I decided to write an analysis on one show in particular that I watched and
decided to focus on which was the show where they had celebrities on playing
the million pound drop. They have used a lot of multiple cameras because there
are various places to go around the million pound drop studio like I said
before. So the multiple camera use is there to cover all the action going on.
The target audience for this show I’d say would be adults and young
adults.
Coverage of
action.
The million pound drop studio has a range of cameras. From
the clip I watched there were several camera angels being used. There was one
camera that seemed to pan around the contestants playing the game and facing
the host Dvina McCall. There seem to also be a camera static in front of them
showing a wide shot as she was walking towards the answer panels looking at the
camera looking very nervous. There were also a lot of mid shots used as they
were waiting for the answer to be revealed. There was also a shot called a
crane shot which I mentioned in my first studio analysis (X-Factor). This is
where there is camera on a crane fitting that can pan in close across the
audience, this helps the camera operators use far shots when showing something
like the contestants on the stage with the host Dvina McCall and sometimes
showing the audience in the background. This shot is also helpful when
introducing the show right at the very start of the programme.
Communication
meaning to the viewers
So when it comes to communicating the meaning to the viewer the Million pound
drop studio production is another great example of this. As this show is a
studio production, the camera operators show the reactions from the host(s),
actors and the audience to show their emotions and also all the excitement and
action going on across the studio. In this instance the camera operators would
mainly focus on the contestants reactions as the host is the person that gives
them feedback from there correct or incorrect answers. The
Million pound drop wouldn’t be as great with communicating the meaning to the
viewers as the news again; on the other hand the Million pound drop still do
communicate the meaning to the viewers by showing the reactions from the host
and more importantly the contestants. The whole
point of the Million pound drop is to have contestants play a game where they
have to pick categories and answer several questions within time limits to try
win as much money as they can starting at 10,000 and if they lose some of the
10,000 then it goes down a shoot where security guards are waiting to collect
the money to take it back up to the stage for another game to start when the
first ones over.
Visual
Style.
The whole of the million pound drop episodes from the start
till the end is really great; it makes you feel involved when you can see
what’s going on and what the contestants are doing. The
show is always very colourful. So the visual style is really interesting the
way everything is put together and also the colour scheme is a re-occurring
theme as it is always red, blue and white like the X-factor is they also use
different lighting which are normally changes colours but that’s not usually
the norm. The screenshots below show the different colour lighting
demonstrating the visual style.
Maintaining
the viewer’s interest.
So as I have already talked about communicating the meaning
to the viewers. I also have to consider how the Million pound drop maintains
its viewer’s interest. As I said for X-Factor Sometimes shows like this can get
reasonably “heated” as it is varied in its content and visually varied, unlike my
other analysis (the Olympics and Reading festival) are. However not many studio
shows are visually varied, as they’re only filmed in one studio. This is
usually the normal phase in a studio production. As there aren’t many studio
productions that are visually varied. This
can make it more difficult to motivate the viewers enough to carry on watching
but with something like the Million pound drop where the host is bubbly really helps
to engage the audience especially as the contestants are answering the
questions and hoping to get the correct answers, this can make the audience
feel emotion for them as there is anticipation waiting for the correct answer
to not drop.
So how
would the camera operators or producers do this with multi-cameras? As I’ve
said in all my other analysis’s the first thing that is the most common aspect
to look for in a studio or live production is the varied camera shots and
angles. It’s a multi camera production so as I mentioned at the start there
would be lots of cameras dotted around the studio. I did talk about some types
of camera shots and angles above although this helped for the viewer’s
interest. So for maintaining the viewer’s
interest I found that the camera is seen panning around the contestants showing
the host and audience in front of them. Any little movements or changes to the
angles can maintain the audience from board of the same scenery like when the
camera shows the contestants emotions but they
repeat it in VTP’s. I feel that the way
they have structured this helps the audience to become more engaged in the show
too as it’s repeating something but it’s not classed as “boring” because it’s a
joyful moment. Also I feel the contestants engage more in the show when the
contestants are asked what they’re going to spend their money on if they win
because this makes the viewers/audience feel more emotion, hope and joy for the
contestants. Also again considering the editing of the show and VTP’s, the way
the shows edited makes it more interesting, the way they structure the VTP’s.
Constraints of studio Location
or environment Location.
As I said for the last studio production...I assume the number one
constraint to think about is the confined space within a studio. As it’s a
studio production the studio will be among several other studios in the
building (this may not be necessary for every studio), making the space
considerably confined. The space of the studio would also depend on the shows
content and how they arrange everything in the studio. As for something like
the Million pound drop they wouldn’t need a large amount of space; so like for
the X-Factor they would still have to plan their layout of the studio to make
everything fit as they need their studio for the audience and contestants etc.
Multi-camera
simultaneous recording. For both Studio Productions:
For studio productions it is hard to judge whether the
multi-camera simultaneous recording is used in this show in particular or not,
because when it comes to studio productions, the show is just normally recorded
and then stop the recording rolling when the show is finished. Shortly after
this the recorded footage is then took straight to the edit. Some studio shows
desperately need cutting and some depending on what show it is, such as if it’s
new, filmed a couple of months before airing etc.
Live
Productions: London Olympics 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00w2r5c/Olympic_Ceremonies_London_2012_Online_Opening_Ceremony_no_comm/
The
first multi-camera studio production I chose to look at was the Olympics but
obviously I couldn’t write an Analysis on the whole of the Olympics because
there was so much going on over the one month and there was so much action I
wouldn’t be able to get everything written down so I chose to write an Analysis
on the very first opening ceremony to the Olympics. (Seen from the link above.)
During the Olympics opening ceremony
they also used a lot multiple cameras because there was various things going on
at once, so a lot of cameras were needed in order for it to record and cover
all the action that was going on. Like at 4.00 where the orchestra is playing
and particularly all the way though the opening ceremony there is multiple
cameras used to capture all the coverage of action going on. I would say that
the target audience for the Olympics would be teenagers and adults as it would
inspire them to do something like the people did taking part in the London 2012
Olympics Opening Ceremony.
Communication
meaning to the viewers
the communication meaning to the viewers is the camera operators showing
the judges or host reactions to things. In this instance it’s the camera
operators showing the reactions from the host(s), actors and audience of all
the excitement and action going on in the opening ceremony. Of course the
Olympics opening ceremony wouldn’t be as great with communicating the meaning
to the viewers as something like the news would be but the Olympics opening
ceremony still do communicate the meaning to the viewers by showing the
reactions of the actors, host(s) and the audience. The whole point of the
Olympics is to show how inspiring and how well all the people participating in
the Olympics and the opening ceremony have done and what they have already
achieved.
At the start of the Olympics opening ceremony we
don’t see much of the host but there is one point around the start of the
opening ceremony where we see Bradley Wiggins introducing the Olympics (from7.00)
as you can see in the screenshot above. He is looking straight into the camera
and towards the audience which was been positioned in front of him. We don’t
see much of the host because the camera is more focused on the actors and not
showing the host until someone is introduced. However this is still
communicating the meaning to the viewers as they would be more interested on
the incredible action that’s going on rather than watching someone talking into
a microphone. This leads into talking about the way the camera is used and the
positioning of the camera throughout the opening ceremony, a front mid shot of
Bradley Wiggins is shown as he is talking a looking into the camera and
audience, but as he is introduced by the host we see a high-angled shot of the
arena and then the camera slowly pan’s down to show him walking onto the stage.
Shortly after he is on the stage we see a front close up showing his reactions
and emotions and after that we then see a mid shot of him talking to the
viewers/audience. This tells us as an audience that he’s talking directly to
us, and it is made sure that we can clearly see that Bradley is talking to us,
because of the way the camera is positioned and at a mid shot. A mid shot isn’t
a fully open shot; it’s a shot showing the space around Bradley Wiggins talking
with no-one else in it. The camera is also positioned to show Bradley in the
middle of the shot so we focus on just him and nothing else until the camera
angle changes.
Visual
Style.
The
whole of the Olympics from the 1st opening ceremony to the last
closing ceremony was absolutely amazing and so colourful, so the visual style
was really interesting the way everything was situated together like the
fireworks in the opening and closing ceremonies. (See screenshots below) The screen shots below
show the fireworks that were set off at the Olympics demonstrating the visual
style.
The visual styles used throughout the Olympics
opening ceremony. Unlike studio
productions the visual style doesn’t all completely fit in. Like most live
productions we aren’t restraint from what we can see going on. Keeping in mind
the live purpose built arenas are not normally shared with more than one event
or anyone else as they are made to the size of the event. So generally speaking
the arena wouldn’t be shared. There are several reasons for using multi cameras
but the great thing about them is that the camera operators can capture every
angle of the arena. That mostly covers the answers to the questions I was
provided to answer about this section. Also to mention the visual conventions
of the arena, the Olympics trademark is shown a lot like during the VT’s shown.
The logo really gives this away and it is also shown during the opening
ceremony with the different colour circles making the bright and bold logo
stand out very much. The arena was also partly colour coded to the logo using
the colours for various things in the arena. Which of course the colours follow
in style to the logo’s going right back to 1986, so all the styles of the
several generations of the Olympics, the trade mark etc all have a sense of
connection making it feel very unique.
Maintaining
the Viewers Interest.
When it
comes to maintaining the viewer’s interest, as well as considering the viewers
we have to consider their interest. This is the hardest thing that the whole
producers, directors, camera operators etc have to take into account as they
have to keep the audience interest and keep focus on making sure the show runs
smoothly and as accurately to their schedule as possible. Something like this
the Olympics will entertain the audience and they will maintain interest as
they’re watching and being informed/ educated of all the information that’s
being said and of course by the amazing performances by the actors. So the
viewers interest is wide-ranging in its substance both interesting and
visually. With something like the Olympics which is a live production isn’t so
difficult in several aspects to keep maintaining the viewer’s interest but it
can be especially if it’s aired late at night with viewers being tired. However
viewers would maintain interest longer than watching a studio production as
it’s not filmed in one studio/place. I would say that the target audience for
the Olympics would be teenagers and adults as it would inspire them to do
something like the people did taking part in the London 2012 Olympics Opening
Ceremony.
So how would
the camera operators or producers do this with multi-cameras? When being a viewer to a
multi camera production the most common first thing to acknowledge is the
various camera shots being used. This example of the Olympics opening ceremony
is multi-camera production, so like I mentioned right at the start of this analysis
about the cameras being scattered around the purpose built arena. I know I’ve
already talked about a few shot types but that was for maintaining the viewer’s
interest. There are various shot types used on live shows like this where there
is one camera focusing on certain aspects, which will stand for the several
other cameras that are used too. Such as the camera(s) focusing on the actors
they would have to keep moving following the actors to cover the whole of the
action. Like at (13.00 and so on) the little movements and shot types or
changes to the camera angle like that can maintain the viewer’s attention
because there isn’t the same scenery’s being shown or repeated so this defers
the audience/viewers from being bored. There was also little VT clips played so
this also helps defer the audience/ viewers from being bored as it is a sort of
added entertainment to the show. I feel showing VT’s or going to somewhere
different really help the audience to engage more on what’s going on, because
it’s a different scene. This also relates to other programmes such as the news
where they film outside the studio (like near accidents etc). The interest also
lies with how the filming (VT’s) is edited. The thing I really loved about the
Olympics was how the hosts etc managed to cope with all the action going and
not confirm any mistakes as it can be quite frustrating when things don’t go to
plan. The thing that kept me watching with the Olympics was the way everything
was so inspiring and amazing with all the different acts with both celebrities
and non-celebrities.
Constraints
of studio Location or environment Location.
As I said for the two studio productions I analysed. I assume
the number one constraint to think about in both studio and live productions is
the confined space; however this is different for a live production because the
arena etc has been purposely built or fitted for the shows needs. As it’s a live
production the arena will not be used at the same time by any other productions
at the same time so this makes the show even easier to plan what’s going where.
However space could be limited but the
productions will always figure out a way to arrange everything to fit
perfectly. Like I said in my X-Factor analysis; for something like the Million
pound drop they wouldn’t need a large amount of space as it’s a small production.
Live
Productions: Reading Festival
So now I’m looking into my second chosen multi
camera live production. Which I chose to look Reading Festival 2012 but as I
couldn’t write about it all because there was so much I chose to look at
Florence and the machine playing at reading festival. Reading Festival is
similar to the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony that I just talked about
because it still has music and events going on. The clip I selected was from
YouTube. (Link Above) Reading is a very popular festival but it’s slightly
different with some similarities to the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony
because it’s on every year unlike the Olympics which is shown every 4 years in
different countries. During reading festival they used a lot of multiple
cameras because there were various events going on at once so the cameras were
needed in order for it to record and cover all the action that was going on.
Communicating
the meaning to the viewer.
The communication meaning to the viewer in this instance like
I said for The Olympics 2012 Openeing ceremony it’s the camera operators
showing the reactions from the host(s), actors and audience of all the
excitement, action and events going on at the Reading Festival, but for the
Florance and the Machine part, the camera operators would show the reactions
from the host(s) and the audience. Like I said for the Olympics 2012 opening
ceremony analysis I wrote, they wouldn’t be as great with communicating the
meaning to the viewers as something like the news would be, but Reading
Festival 2012 still do commincate the meaning to the viewers by showing the
reactions of the host(s), actors and the audience. The whole point of Reading
festival is for celebrities to go and sing to a vast amount of people wanting
to see some of the world biggest artists and hear what they have achieved such
as Foo Fighters, The vacciens, Kasabian, The black keys, all time low and more!
( As seen in the example below but there are more stages.)
At the start of
Florence and the Machine at Reading festival, we don’t see the host at all
because Florence and the Machine are already on stage from 0.00 to 8.25 but
there is one part where she is introduced right at the start as she’s walking
out onto the stage but we can’t see the host as the camera is more focused on
the singer (Florence and the Machine.) (0.06-0.11) as you can see from the
screenshot below. She is looking straight at the audience and camera which is
positioned straight in front of her. However like I said for the Olympics 2012
Opening ceremony, this is still communicating the meaning to the viewers as
they would be more interested on the performances going on rather than watching
something in the audience or watching a non-celebrity stand there talking
through a microphone. This leads into talking about the camera movement and the
positioning of the positioning of the camera. Throughout the scene where
Florence and the Machine are singing a wide angle shot is used at the start and
then the camera pans and zooms into Florence and the Machine singing on stage.
The most common shot used in Florence and the Machines performance is the
mid-shot. Shortly after Florence and the Machine is on stage the camera shows a
close-up of her singing showing her emotion. (0.45-0.48) then at 8.06 she ends
the song and the camera goes from a wide shot to a mid shot of her saying thank
you to the audience as we see panning shots of the audiences reactions, from
(8.06-8.25) Florence and the Machine stands on stage thanking the audience she
has just sung to for their support. This tells us that Florence and the Machine
is talking directly to us, as it is made sure that we can clearly see that
she’s talking to us because of the way the camera is positioned to show a mid
shot of her in the middle. The mid shot shows no-one else but her and the space
around her.
Visual
Style.
The Florence and the machine act at the Reading festival was one of the many
acts to play but I chose to focus and write about this one because I
particularly like Florence and the Machine to many other acts that played. The
visual style was still so colourful like the London 2012 Olympics Opening
Ceremony with the lights, music and atmosphere so the visual style was really
interesting the way each act had different coloured lights or backdrops and
generally the way everything was situated together like the London 2012
Olympics Opening Ceremony. I also like the way they use different cameras for
different shots as one would be used for so many and the others would be used
for certain angles and shot types too. The screen shots below show some of the
Florence and the Machine act. With examples to what I wrote above in this
paragraph. The visual styles used
throughout the Florence and the Machine act at the Reading Festival. It doesn’t
all fit in like a studio production would. As I mentioned in my last analysis most
live productions aren’t restraint from what we can see happening. However this
is keeping in mind the live purpose built arenas as they are not normally
shared with another event or anyone else as they are made to the size of the
event. So generally speaking the arena wouldn’t be shared with anyone
else. In all live TV programmes there
are various reasons for using multi-cameras. The great thing about using them
is that they can capture every angle of the arena and the action going on.
Maintaining
the Viewers Interest and Target Audience.
So maintaining the viewers interest I feel that Reading Festival showing
Florence and the Machine not only connects to the communicating the meaning to
viewer but it also is the same as the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony
because they have to keep the audience’s interest up and keep focus on making
sure that the show runs as accurately to plan and they scheduled it to. The
shows content is “busy” by what I found from watching the snippet of YouTube
however, what I mean by busy is that there are a lot of events/acts playing on
different stages, so at this point maintaining the viewers interest and Communicating
the meaning to the viewer links because they’re both set in purpose built
arenas, they’re both trying to show how inspiring and how well all the singers
participating in the Reading festival and the London 2012 Olympics Opening
Ceremony have done and what they have achieved in their journeys so far. The
viewer’s interest is also comprehensive like I said for the London 2012
Olympics Opening Ceremony not only in it’s visually substance but it’s
interesting substance too. With Something like a live multi-camera production
like the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony and Reading Festival is not so
difficult in numerous aspects to keep maintaining the viewers interest but especially
like the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony it can be difficult to maintain
the viewers interest if the show’s aired late at night with viewers being tired
etc. However like I also said for the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony
example I wrote about maintains the viewer’s interest for longer because they’re
live shows and they don’t just stay in one studio like a studio production
would do, so the scenery always changes so it doesn’t bore its audience. For
something like Reading Festival I’d say that the target audience would be
teenagers and young adults as they’re mainly the age type to go to festivals.
So how
would the camera operators or producers do this with multiple cameras? I’d say
that the easiest thing to look for is the varied camera shots that are used.
This example of Florence and the Machine playing at Reading Festival is a
multi-camera production, like I mentioned right and the start of this example
of a multi-camera production and in my last example explanation about the
cameras being spread around the purpose built arena. I know I’ve mentioned a
few shot types above but they were for maintaining the viewer’s interest. There
are various shot types used on live shows so it’s not just this example in
particular. The various shot types used in Florence and the Machines act, so
there is one camera to focus on particular aspects, this also stands for the
several other cameras being used too, like I mentioned for the London 2012
Olympics Opening Ceremony; such as the camera focusing on Florence and the
Machine singing with the band and then showing the audiences reaction
throughout. These cameras wouldn't have to keep moving as much like they would have
had to for the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony as there are only the acts
playing at certain times to focus on and the audience so it’s not a hectic as
the Olympics opening ceremony was. The cameras would still have to be moving
for the various shot types though to cover all the action, little movements and
the changes to shot types or angles. This can help to engage the viewer’s
interest, if the camera angle or movement changes because it’s not the same
scenery so they won’t be expecting it to continue in the same frame pattern
which helps to suspend the audience and viewers from being bored.
Constraints
of studio Location or environment Location.
As I said for the last 3 live and studio productions I analysed.
I assume the number one limitations to think about in both studio and live
productions is the confined space; however this is different for a live
production as I previously mentioned because the arena is purposely built or fitted
for the shows needs. As it’s a live production the arena will not be used at
the same time by any other productions at the same time, because for something
like the reading festival its planned before the stage etc’s put up...so this makes
the show even easier to plan what’s going where. However as for every live production space
could be limited but the productions will always figure out a way to arrange
everything to fit.
Multi-camera simultaneous
recording. For both Live Productions:
For live productions and studio productions it is hard to
judge whether the multi-camera simultaneous recording is used in this show in
particular or not, because when it comes to live productions, the show is just
normally recorded and then stop the recording rolling when the show is
finished, but because it’s on air the footage isn’t edited, however before the
show they can pre-record VT’s to play on the show which will also help with the
show being live.
