At the beginning at the episode is the two presenters Lucy Alexander and Martin Roberts, Since this show has been going on for so long the presenters are some what famous so there is no need to introduce themselves just a Caption underneath them. The presenters give us a brief summary of today's show where they describe what is going to happen and to begin their show the say homes under the hammer and the show begins.
The opening sequence is small house cardboard house and small shots of money, some of the images on the notes they have animated just to give an effect of counting money. the small model homes have different note projected on them to symbolise the prices of each model home.
At the beginning where they take you to the first house they don't just take to straight to the house it self the explore the area around it give you some information about the area and shows you some of the nice scenery around the area to help give the viewer more understanding on why this house is on auction. As the presenter describes the house he's looking at and observing the keep factors of the house or a vital flaw in the house for this case the hole in the ceiling, they played a song that has something to do with a hole. the music is not just random it give a mood/ feeling to the house which shows the severity in this case of the flaw in the house, which really sets the mise en scene of the whole house and the area. The presenter gives you his honest opinion on the house and tell you information of the house and what needs to be done to the house to make it the perfect home. They also get a retail estate agent to come and take a look at the house to price it up and give future prices of the house when it is fully furnished and how much it could be rented for as a holiday and rental home. After they have done all of that they then go see how the auction went for the house, when it is finished they then go and see the winners of the auction to see what the have planned and in stored for their future home.
After they then come back to the house to see what has been done in the short period of time after they bought the house to see what renovations have been made to the house to see if the buyer stuck to his/ her word or how long still it may take to finish all the furnishing.
The camera angles used the show the full potential of the house is amazing to show how big and grand the house is they will use relatively low camera angles to show home dominate the house is, they will use big pans to show how big a room is both horizontal and vertical, and also give hand held/ eye level shots to give the view the feel as if they were there and looking at the house themselves. There is a multitude of camera angles that are used to view the home which is used.

Minutes
Minutes-
20/05/11 Today we discussed the locations available to film a section of a thriller movie. we decided Wem high street and other local locations would be more relevant as they are easily accessed to the whole group.
23/05/11 The movie will begin with 3 men running around Wem high street trying to kill each other, the men will be hooded and the camera will not see their faces to give a mysterious effect, the men will end up in the graveyard where one will be shot. a close up of a shovel being thrust into the ground will be shown then the camera will be blacked out and the sound of digging will be herd
3/06/11 The group decided to change the story line to make it a more mysterious thriller. their will be 2 men wearing smart clothes (suits) with briefcases, one man in a cafe and one will have just entered Wem off the train. the man that just got off the train (2nd man) will ring the 1st man to tell him he is in Wem and arrange to meet up somewhere quiet, split screen shots will be used for the phone call and extreme close ups of the phone, brief case, and a clock to show the time, a point of view shot will show the journey to the bench for both men with camera cuts going from man to man, this clip will be edited to play fast to give it a fast paced effect. the men will meet up at a bench on a park as a stereo-typical drug deal, everything will be going well. the men will swap brief cases then walk away with relief, they will walk back to their destinations (train station and home) and notice that their brief cases are empty, the audience will think they have both tried to rob each other and a phone call will make the audience aware that both men have not deliberately ripped each other off. the camera will then fade out then in to a woman with both briefcases and very happy.

Production Evaluation
The start off our production was sort of slow cause we weren't entirely sure what we wanted our thriller to be about so that was alot of time wasted, but once we got our act together we started deciding that it was going to be about 2 guys that make a transaction/swap and we decide that would leave an enigma for the audience with just the opening sequence. Since we took so long to decide we had to make sure we kept to the deadline whilst making a decent opening sequence. we did the reece shots for our opening sequence, did the risk assessment then after a few lessons we realized that we could not do it in the cafe so we had to redo the reece shots and risk assessment. The creativity that we had was a bit too much since we all pitched so many ideas we couldnt do them all so we took a few from everyone and tried to put some aspect in to what we had to make, and came up with out opening sequence.We did alot of filming during and some out side of college to make our video what it is now so we filmed and edited all before deadline which gave us a push to make it in due time so we could keep up. As a team we worked really well as Tom and I were the actors Sam was the camera man and me and Tom edited the final footage which we did well. We had to help help from others because we needed better camera angles and better shots and footage the cameraman could of dont a lot better but we worked with what we had and what needed to be done. Tom did really well as both actor and editor for the opening sequence, Sam did ok being a cameraman since we got the necessary footage. If i were to compare it to a professionals it would not be far off but they would of had alot more to work with to make it that much better which would of also had a lot more time to complete it, but our opening sequence is still really good. I personally thing my input to the team was more that expected since i also was an actor and a editor for our opening sequence. i had to put extra time into getting a suit and a briefcase and other props for the film which was all useful is some way. The feedback we got from our focus group was all very positive we didnt get much negative feedback other that a few editing hic ups which have all been sorted now. The part were we are walking to the destination of the drop off the feedback we got was to have 2 shots on one screen showing both of us walking to the destination of the drop off but whilst we are walking the camera will be focused on the briefcases.

Pre-recorded
They pre-record interviews so that people that are not at the festival get a understanding of what its like at the festival and gives them a understanding how the variest artist are feeling. they also censore the swearing. The summarise what happened eariler incase the viewer didnt see what happened before they re-cap what happened and give updates to the viewers. Pre recorded packages are edited among the live footage because some bands preform at the same time on diffetent stages. The presenters are normally dressed for the event. The target audience for this festival is teenagers u all the way up to the elderly people , as these are the people that go to festivals. The beginning of the set starts with a fade up and the sound of screaming fans as the artist approaches the stage. The shot looking at the stage is a long establishing shot of the audience and a stage. The titles on BBC appear, with the logo of glastonbury .We then see footage of the artist playing, and this is all cross dissolved into one another. The editing of the show would be done by an Editor that would probably be editing from the festival in a little studio or back in the BBC headquarters
The camera is almost constantly panning throughout live music coverage, mainly ariel shots used to show above the audience looking at the band showing us the full atmosphere on the event They use hand held cameras on stage giving us action shots of the artist/band
Visionmixing is used in live coverage this is mixing between different visions shots and camerawork.
