Kids TV show costume inspiration.

For our kids TV show we wanted it to be instantly recognisable as a childrens show, so we made the two members ofour band, costumes that were based on popular childrens shows,

- Noddy
-Sporticus


We used the "Noddy" rosy cheeks and scarf, and used the stylised moustache and hat of "Sporticus".

7/12/10 Children's Television Show Production Plan

2.00pm- We are preparing our children's television show scene today. We need a set that we can turn into our studio for filming.

2.05pm- We have decided to use a spare computer room within the college to film. We will use the images that we created in a previous lesson as the back drop.

3.10pm- We have now successfully captured the footage we need, we had to shoot the particular scene as there was a choreographed dance routine that needed a few attempts to get right.

3.30pm- The footage has now been logged and captured onto the computer and added to our master template ready for final editing.

Childrens TV show backdrop reseach.

For our children's TV show, we had to think of an idea for the set that would make it reasonably obvious as to what it was and realistic to make as many Children's shows today are bombastic and exuberant. We considered the idea of making a whole set and toyed with the idea of puppets, much like popular TV show "Yo Gabba Gabba," however in the end we thought that this would not be time or cost effective as it involve a lot of preparation and space to able to pull it off while looking good. If it didn't look realistic it would bring down the whole standard of the music video.


We then reflected on our own childhood and looked at presenter-based children programs, such as Milkshake or CITV. These sets were much simpler in design as the backdrops were usually mad out of drawings and pictures sent in by children, as well as the camera rarely moving, incorporating one shot for the entire time of filming. This would be much easier to produce and would look much more realistic with the technology we have available.


We produced our own imitations of children's drawings.
