Lifestyle Shows
I have chosen to produce a lifestyle show and be the presenter for it, the format which I intend it to be is for a family to watch and enjoy. I have chosen after considering each type of lifestyle show there is to go with a cooking show, because I wanted to be comfortable when in front of the camera, I also know how to cook a few dishes so it will not be a burden on my shoulders as I have some experience. I also decided to go with this type of show because I wanted to emphasis the multicultural element to a city like London, and seeing as my audience are going to be British it is educational as well as appealing to them. For the dish I have chosen to make a traditional Egyptian desert which you can have with a hot drink ie plain tea, and it is a sweat but simple desert to go for it is also a prominent dish in Egypt and very well known by the arabic countries world wide.
Lorraine Pascale
The cooking show host Lorraine Pascale is a very successful cook, and owns her own cooking show. Here she is hosting a show called 'Lorraine Pascale: cooking made easy-simple' where she demonstrates to the audience how she makes a fun and easy dish, which is her Sausage roll’s big night out and mature cheddar straws. The first verbal technique I have noticed is her use of language, because this is a cooking show she needs to make the audience stay engaged by choosing descriptive fun language that will make them excited about the dish. She uses words like 'scoop this up with a knife', and making slight comments where appropriate, for example 'they look like they're all tucked up in bed' this is adding to the emphasis on the fact that she is still trying to keep her audience engaged whilst trying to look busy. Another verbal technique she uses is her consistency and a bit of pace of delivery, this is done well because there are never any gaps or quiet moments where she doesn't talk for a long time. This is effective because it makes the delivery flow and she is not making any awkwardness, it also shows that her communication towards the audience is friendly and inviting.
One visual technique would be her body language, she comes across quite friendly and welcoming because she smiles a lot and uses friendly hand gestures, that indicate to the audience that she is happy and excited about the dish. Another visual technique is her dress and appearance, this is fit for the purpose of the show because she is wearing casual clothing-jeans and a shirt. This allows the audience to be relaxed and not take it as a serious show, also cooking can be a hobby to some people so by her dressing in this way helps the audience to see the fun side of cooking.
Gordon Ramsay
The next example I will use is the famous British chef Gordon Ramsay, this show is called ' Chef Ramsay teaches amateurs how to cook a steak'. He starts the show by giving the audience an anecdote about his childhood and his fathers butchers shop. One visual technique I've noticed is his dress and appearance, we see him wearing a chefs outfit and this is crucial for the purposes of the show, because he is dealing with convincing three 17 year old's to become butchers, this makes them more prone to believing and taking him seriously. Another visual technique is his hand gestures which are expressive and effective to the audience as his is trying the describe the dishes and techniques he is teaching. One verbal technique would be the sentence structure, this is well done because he uses tricky questions to challenge his guests and the audience, which helps to add interest to the

Chat Show
A chat show is another type of tv programme and shows a host which is the show's presenter and a guest talking about an issue or topic. The role of a host on this type of programme is to question the guest to try and find out information either about them or something they're affiliated with which could be a; film, tv show, magazine, book etc. The guest on the other hand can either come to promote themselves or the film, tv show or book they're involved with by answering the question posed by the host. In this case the chat show or better known 'talk show' I am looking at is the ITV show 'The Jeremy Kyle Show' which is aired on the ITV and ITV+1 channels. The show's main aim is to solve disputes between friends, family member or partners and uncover lie's with its lie detector tests. The host here is Jeremy Kyle who is talking to the three guests about their dispute which is a phone which has gone missing.
One visual technique used is the dress and appearance which shows the host wearing a suite and tie which he is always seen wearing, this makes him look professional and the show look serious. This however will not apply to my lifestyle show because there I will not be wearing a suit and tie but rather a casual attire, this is because the atmosphere for most lifestyle shows is usually calm and chilled. To add, I want my audience members to have fun whilst they watch me cooking, by wearing a suit I will be distracting them into thinking too seriously about the show. One verbal technique shown is Jeremy's tone of voice where he shouts in an aggressive manner towards his guests, this makes him look confrontational and the effective of this on the audience is that they will have mixed emotions and are directed and almost forced to agree with him. This again is not the style I am going for in my cooking show because I want the audience to be able to make their own minds up about the things I say and not have to agree with everything, this will give my audience the chance to think and feel liberally. Therefore, I am not going to be producing a chat show because it doesn't fit the objective and style I am going for.
Continuity annoncer
A continuity announcer is someone who announces the next show/film etc between shows on tv, they're usually heard when a show is about to start and one of the main reasons for their job is to allow for deaf people to hear what the next show will be. As well as telling the viewers what show is on next they also remind and warn us as a disclaimer of any scene's where there is sexual content or violence or animal slaughter etc. This is E4's continuity announcer Kelsey Bennett who we hear announcing various shows that are about to come on. The channel E4 is primarily aimed at young people/young adults and that is because the majority of the shows aired on there are watched by people of that range, some shows include ; Tattoo fixers, Hollyoaks, Made in Chelsea and so on. This brings me to the verbal techniques used, here we hear Kelsey's tone of voice to be quite light hearted and happy with a few jokes here and there, this important because the audience are young people and if they hear someone with quite a mellow boring voice, they will not become excited to watch the upcoming show.
