Jonathan Ross Show
After watching and studying an interview on The
Jonathan Ross show I mapped out a floor plan of where I thought the cameras
were and also why they were stationed at those positions. The first thing I
noticed was the safe shot, which is in middle of the studio. It is also one of
three cameras which I think are primarily for the interview shots. I also found
three other cameras which I believe are on cranes and they are there because of
the interviewee. Lee Evans who is a real character and very practical when he’s
on stage, e.g. he bungee jumps onto the studio and also runs across the studio
to the other side of it. For those reasons I believe that they needed some
cameras on cranes to keep up with the artist being interviewed.
I watched the show around three times to make
sure I was sure about where all the cameras are and how many cameras were
involved. It was difficult because the cameras had to zoom out for the
interviewee, as he kept on getting up and moving which is unusual for an
interview. What helped me was that before the end of each shot I saw the
cameras begin to zoom back in for the close ups during the interview.
I think the production was done very well
considering that the interviewee was very active and would not stop moving
around. I believe the best idea was to have those three cameras on cranes to
follow around Lee Evans. Without those I believe the show would not have looked
as good because the picture wouldn’t look as good if it were to keep tilting up
and down. The panning on the cranes look a lot better and create a smoother
image.
