Multi Camera Graham Norton

The Graham Norton show is a multi camera show, the reason why this is a multi camera show is that they have 4-5 cameras all set up in various positions which enable different shots and edits. One of the cameras will be on Graham Norton who is the presenter of the show. Another one of the cameras which is on the guests and this will move from one guest to the other when they are talking and it will focus it on two guests. There will be a camera that gets a shot of everyone who is on the chat show and the last camera will be on a crane and this will be capturing shots of the audience and also all the acts walking onto the show. The main reason why this and other chat shows are filmed in a multi camera set up is because it is a rolling show with it being shot with multiple cameras they will not have to stop start things and capture things from different angles as this would consume to much time. 

With a show like the Graham Norton Show they will usually cover soft news stories and they won’t talk about hard hitting subjects as this show is intended to be fun and also have a bit of humour added to it as well. The Graham Norton Show is one of the biggest shows that the BBC make and they will usually only have the A kist celebrities such as John Bishop, For example as you can see in the clip they have John Bishop who is one of the biggest comedians in the world and is well known they will use him to promote a new tour of his if he announces one during that week they will bring him on the show to try and promote it and gather some information about his latest tour. They also have Chris Prat on there who will be on the show to promote the new Jurassic World film and he will ask questions about the new film and usually on these talk shows they will have a sneak peak at the film as well. Melissa McCarthy ad Judie Law are also on the show and they have got them on the show to promote there new film which is going to be released soon Spy. Everyone who is on the Talk Show they will all be interviewed together and this is done so the guests have time to interact with each other. Where as on a program like the Jonathan Ross Show they interview everyone separately on there. With this being filmed in a studio there isn’t much room to manuever or that much space for the equipment ether and when there is an outdoor event people have to be very careful of wires and tripods.

This us a plan for the cameras for the Graham Norton Show or how I think it looks like. I think there could be more cameras there or even the cameras might not be on trackers unlike all the news channels that have them on trackers. There is also a camera on a crane and this is used to capture Graham and all the celebrities walking onto the show at the start.
