As you can see, the show starts with an opening title sequence and just like 'This Morning', it features the presenter herself in amongst them. It then cuts to an establishing shot of the studio set before quickly cutting to Lorraine herself as she gives the line "good morning to you and here's whats coming up this morning". Rather than having a brief chat it cuts straight to the coming up tease that displays the shows schedule in the form of graphics. I understand that because she is a solo presenter she can't really have a conversation but I find it interesting how much quicker the shots are paced leaving only a few seconds before going into the tease. For our show we ideally want two presenters so I feel leaving the camera on them longer like this morning does before the tease will be important. The director at these 3 points would say, "roll VT" for the shows opening titles, "Standby camera #, cut to #" for the establishing shot out of the VT and then "Stand by Camera #, cut to #" to cut to the next shot of Lorraine herself delivering. He or she would then say "Stand by VT, roll VT" to run the graphics of the tease. Although it appears smooth on TV, I am aware this there is a lot that is going on from the directors point of view.
Coming out of the tease we then go back to an establishing shot of the studio and then Lorraine again in the same format as the top of the show. She quickly introduces her two guests that are sitting with her at the table and the show goes into a quick 1 + 2 interview. Looking at this I notice that the shots are all accommodated for having a camera on Lorraine, guest one and guest two as well as a shot of all three of them and of just the two guests. This gives the director room to cut from one person to the next on singles as well as just the guests and just Lorraine. When looking at the bigger picture it shows that who ever is speaking will be covered as well as getting a variety of different shots rather than one long boring one.
I next looked at their fashion item that they have on the show. You can view a clip below:
Lorraine is sitting with a fashion expert as they talk about the trends that are coming up. They use a graphic on screen of an outfit that resembles that trend showing the brand and price. I like the way they are both sitting down at referring to the screen as they talk about it and I will consider this for the actual show when talking to the producers.The graphic also goes from on the screen to full frame so the viewers can have a better look at the outfit. I like the way this is done as well and would like to take this element to the show. Once the outfit is shown on screen the camera cuts to a catwalk and a model comes out wearing it so we can see what it looks like on a person. The camera tilts from top to bottom to give and overview of the outfit before cutting to a wide again. I like this shot sequence and the way they have done it this way so I would like to do something similar for our show.
