Presentation Techniques roles

You will be producing a studio based show and will need to demonstrate your ability to present to a certain
audience that suits your style of production.
You will need to discuss and demonstrate thorough understanding of the roles you will be carrying out
ONLY (not all roles listed).
News Presenter, Broadcast journalist, magazine programme presenter, lifestyle programme presenter,
documentary presenter, chat show host, game show host
Ideological issues e.g.: A BBC news presenter; class implications in the standard Received Pronunciation
and the relationship of this to ideas of authority.

News Presenter
Describe their job:
Someone who presents the news on a TV show, radio programme etc. They can also work as a
journalist and report or research on the issues that they have to present about.
What skills do they need to do their job:
They will need to be confident, have a clear speaking voice, be comfortable in front of a camera, and
have good improvisation skills. Additionally they will have to be able to interview people comfortably
if that is required of them and be able to put them at ease and find out the required information
What ideological issues are there around their presenting style:
In the case of the majority of news presenters, their ideology and opinions will probably affect the way
they present. This could potentially manifest itself in making the presentation of the show biased
towards the presenters opinion i.e. Fox News presenters are very right-wing and always attempt to
convert viewers to their point of view and although the BBC are meant to be totally unbiased, this often
fails as the presenters cant just completely switch off their opinions on certain matters and react
according to their ideologies.

Broadcast journalist
Describe their job
Broadcast journalists research, investigate and present news stories and current affairs on TV, the radio
and the internet. Their main aim is to present unbiased news stories and provide objective information
for viewers or listeners.
What skills do they need to do their job
They will need to be curious about the world in order to present an interesting news story and to be
able to research stories accurately and with minimal bias for or against the subject of the story. They
will also need to be confident in their reporting and to have the ability to react quickly to any
developments or changes in the story that they are presenting on.
What ideological issues are there around their presenting style?
In regards to ideological issues, broadcast journalists may have problems remaining unbiased towards
the information or events that they are presenting about; this could potentially make the information
presented inaccurate as their opinion may take part in either writing or researching the issue.

Production Booklet

Magazine programme presenter

Describe their job
A magazine programme presenters job generally involves presenting on a wide range of topical issues
and interviewing guests relating to the stories that they are presenting on. They also need to be
entertaining as magazine programmes are generally broadcast at peak time and are watched by large
amounts of people i.e. The One Show
What skills do they need to do their job
The presenter will need to be innately likeable so the viewers continue to watch and enjoy the
programme. They also need to be confident and comfortable in themselves as that will, in turn, make
any guests they have on the show more comfortable and relaxed in being there. Presenters will also
have to be able to interview people in a light hearted manner and keep the programme entertaining and
maintain the interest of the viewers.
What ideological issues are there around their presenting style?
There are probably very few ideological issues when it comes to magazine show presenters as they
usually only host the show rather than reporting on the serious issues, which are often handed onto on
location presenters or they are tasked with interviewing guests about issues that might cause the main
presenter(s) to show bias in regard to what is being reported on.
Lifestyle programme presenter
Describe their job
A lifestyle programme presenter essentially presents very light hearted programmes and tends to be
responsible for hosting and guests that appear on the show, and also are responsible for taking part in
any advertising for products or companies and making the audience interested in finding more out
about what is being shown on the programme.
What skills do they need to do their job
Lifestyle presenters will need to be openly friendly and convincing people, with a strong understanding
of marketing and advertising techniques in order to persuade viewers to maintain an interest in what is
being shown on the programme i.e. property development, clothing. They also need to be confident in
what they are doing in order to maintain an interest in the show, and they have to be innately
entertaining for the same reasons.
What ideological issues are there around their presenting style?
As lifestyle presenters are generally focussed around selling products and convincing viewers to be
interested in what is being shown in the programme, their main ideological problem is that they may
falsely advertise something or give an inaccurate portrayal of any product or service that is being
promoted within the programme.
Documentary presenter
Describe their job
A documentary presenters job is to present a factual programme and maintain an audiences interest in
the subject matter. They also need to have an in-depth knowledge of the subject that they are presenting
on, in case of a need for improvisation etc.
What skills do they need to do their job
They will need to be extremely knowledgeable about the subject that they are presenting about, and
have to be able to confidently present the information that they are talking about in order to keep the
programme interesting. They also have to be passionate about their subject to keep the programme
entertaining.

Production Booklet

What ideological issues are there around their presenting style?

Ideological issues in regards to documentary presenting are generally stuck to inaccurate facts about
their subject matter, or strong bias in regards to what they are presenting on. Inaccuracy in a
documentary is very serious as it can promote an incorrect view of a subject matter and educate people
with incorrect facts which is unfair to viewers and, if the subject matter is a person or serious event,
then it is unfair and unkind to them as well.

Chat show host

Describe their job
A chat show hosts job is to interview guests successfully and in an interesting manner. Theyre job is
also to make sure that they stick to the questions decided on beforehand and to find out the required
information from their guest(s).
What skills do they need to do their job
They will need to be very entertaining and friendly, and be able to put their guests at ease if that is the
format of the programme. Additionally, they will have to be able to stick to the set script of the
programme and not present their guests with any unexpected or unsuitable questions. Presenters also
need to be able to follow a standard interview format and remain comfortable and confident in front of
a camera.
What ideological issues are there around their presenting style?
The issues in regards to a chat show host are centred on whether they make their guests comfortable
and find out the information that they are aiming to investigate. If they fail at this then they will
potentially upset their guest and could face a large amount of negative attention from the media outside
of their show.
Game show host
Describe their job
A game show host presents a show with various different contestants of varying backgrounds and they
need to maintain order and the correct format throughout the programme or it will be disconnected and
uninteresting for the audience.
What skills do they need to do their job
A game show host has to be incredibly organised and be able to interact comfortably with the
contestants. They also need to be empathetic towards contestants that are unsuccessful in the show.
Additionally they need to be friendly and entertaining throughout the programme in order to maintain
viewer interest and to encourage new contestants for the game show.
What ideological issues are there around their presenting style?
Game show hosts need to be unbiased amongst the contestants or there will probably be a large amount
of negative backlash from the media. Also, as the sole aim of their show and presenting style is to
entertain, they cant afford to bring anything too serious into the programme and therefore cannot
comment on any serious news items as that is not seen to be their place in the entertainment industry.

Production Booklet

Research 3 different types of presenting techniques that fall into your genre. You must add links; discuss
how it is suitable for chosen medium, identify the style and the audiences and then discuss the intended
effect on the audience
Techniques / style: Light hearted
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrqPtwPuWEQ
Suitability for chosen medium: This style is often best for chat shows and game shows as it keeps the
atmosphere enjoyable and fun for viewers to watch and for interviewees to participate in. Also it
means that everyone is at ease within the setting and doesnt make it uncomfortable to watch.

Audience: People who enjoy straight up entertainments without having to worry about any serious or
topical issues that can often be quite miserable and not relaxing to watch. Also it depends on who is
being interviewed as people will often tune in to watch their favourite people being interviewed.
Intended effect: Educate, inform, entertain, impress. The main purpose of light hearted interviews is
to entertain viewers and to let them get to know their favourite celebrities even more than they
already might.
Techniques / style: Chat/gossip
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUjBYrAZEYk
Suitability for chosen medium: This technique is generally best for informal chat shows and magazine
shows; it also works well for game shows where the presenter finds out more about the contestants. It
works well as everyone is immediately put at ease and is comfortable and relaxed with what is
happening within the format of the show. Additionally it makes the show more relaxing for the
viewer to watch, as there isnt any tensions regarding serious problems or anything too in-depth and
emotional.
Audience: Generally people who enjoy light hearted interviews and dont want to watch anything too
seriously. This technique is also good for people who watch a lot of early evening and peak time
entertainment shows at promotes a very funny, chilled out atmosphere within the programme.
Intended effect: Educate, inform, entertain, impress. The intended effect of this technique is to put the
interviewee and audience at ease and to provide easy to understand and relaxing to watch
entertainment for a wide demographic.
Techniques / style: Informal
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deCuyKqfJFc
Suitability for chosen medium: This style works really well with chat shows and occasionally
magazine shows, as it makes the setting seem less uptight and uncomfortable for participants and
viewers alike. It also works well in internet shows like the one that is linked above, as it doesnt take
things too seriously and is innately humorous and fun to watch.
Audience: There isnt really a set audience who enjoys informal interviews, however a lot of young
people do as it gives them a chance to relate more to the people taking part in the interview and the
show, as they will probably prefer an informal setting as that is how they generally interact and speak
with one another. Additionally, people who enjoy light hearted entertainment which features
celebrities that they are interested in will generally prefer more informal interviews as it gives them a
chance to get to know the relevant celebrity better than they might have beforehand.

Production Booklet

Intended effect: Educate, inform, entertain, impress. The main purpose of an informal interview is to
entertain, and the effect is that it puts every participant at ease and makes it easier to talk to them and
to ask them questions which will be answered comfortably and with a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
Proposal: Put a proposal together explaining the sort of presenting style you will use and why relating it
back to your target audience and subject (work with team)
We are creating a chat show, centred around music, with 3 presenters and 3 guests. It will mostly be set
in a studio, using a green screen background, with an additional on location segment with one of the
three presenters. The programme is aimed mainly at younger people, who have in interest in a wide
range of music, and will probably be socio economically centred around the C band. We will be using
a generally informal style of presenting, with a general chatty, friendly atmosphere to put the
interviewee at ease. In relation to our target audience, this presenting style fits well as it will also make
them feel more comfortable watching the programme, and will probably be more interesting to them
than a very stiff, formal interview and presentation style.

Script: Now you know your styles; guests and topic you must put together a script for your show focusing
on your target audience, genre and style of show. Communicate with your team and make sure all have the
same script
You will need to produce two versions of your script. These will demonstrate your ability to develop ideas,
record your progress and create complex, timed scripts to work from during your final show.
First draft of script
Use Courier or Courier New
1 page per minutes
Final Draft
Using a highlighter show what has changed since your first draft. Write a small paragraph to explain these
changes.
Timed Script
Using your final script, now add in times for everything thats happens/is said. This includes all questions,
any sounds/music that may be played. This ensures your final production is well timed and there are no
dead spots. Remember to rad this aloud to a timer to check do NOT just guess. It will show.
E.g.
3:15:00
3;15:15
3:15:19

go to and their opinions on it. I also aim to find out Adams experiences with festivals and which
ones are his favorites.

Planning for Interview One

Interviewees Name: Adam Lord
Date and Time of interview:

How will you record the interview?

It will be recorded on location using portable lights and cameras on tripods with microphones
mounted on to the top of them..

In what medium (audio, visual, written etc) will the final interview be presented?
It will be presented as a visual interview for television.

What information do you need to get from this interview?

Information about Adams personal experiences about festivals.

Describe how you are planning on contacting and liaising with your talent (interviewee)

How will you make sure unnecessary sounds etc are not recorded?
The microphones we will be using have booms on them to cancel out background noise.

If visual recording, explain how you will deal with any issues caused by ambient light.
Ambient light is difficult to work with as it isnt controllable and can look bad in a television
programmer setting if the set isnt outside.

What equipment will you need to carry out this interview?

We will need at least two cameras, lights, microphones, my interviewee and my location.

Structuring your interview: Scripts and Question Formulation

Question:
Hi Adam, so youre an adult with a full time job but you still enjoy going to lots of
festivals, what is the most recent one you have been to?

Likely Response:
Yeah, I mean its harder now as I only have Fridays and
Saturdays off but if I can get the time off for a festival then
Ill definitely go. Recently I have been to Its great
there because its spread over the whole village with so
many friendly people and theres lots of folk music.

Next Question:
What is the main style of music you listen to? And has that influence your choices
which festivals you go to?

Likely Response:
Ah I listen to all sorts really, like rock, indie rock, folk music,
just a bit of everything. Erm yeah Id say it has to an extent
but there are some festivals that I go to because I go with a
group of people.

Question:
In 1999 when Leeds partnered up with Reading Rock the name changed and
became Reading Festival. The line ups also changed slightly from the original rock
sets to accommodate the changing crowds. What do you think about the change?
Do you feel it draw in a different crowed and has that put you off of going?

Likely Response:
It personally didnt put me off going but I know quite a few
people that dont go anymore as for them the change was
too drastic. Well yeah the crowd has changed but theyre
still nice people.

Next Question:
Do you feel the people who attend the more modern festivals are less friendly than
the people who went when you were younger?

Likely Response:
No Id say theres something about festivals where
everyone is friendly and upbeat.

Next Question:
Do you think its the younger generations that have given festivals a name for drugs
and over drinking or in your experience has it always been like that?

Likely Response:
Well back then we were limited to the drugs, now there are
all these artificial drugs and its harder for these kids to
know their limits. So I wouldnt say they have given it a bad
name as its so different now, you cant really compare it.

Interview Style for Interview One

What will your interview style be? (Formal, informal and chatty, intense, questioning,
argumentative, friendly, jokey)
Hopefully itll be informal and chatty, with a lot of questions.

Why have you chosen that style?

Mainly because its the most comfortable style for an interviewee and isnt too focussed on being
serious; also the format of our show is quite light hearted and chatty so the style of my interview
fits in well with that.

Add research of other interview/chat shows where the presenter has a similar style. You can insert
another page here for your research.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVv1MwDTKls
We will be aiming to follow the style of this presenter as she is laid back and chatty but still getting
the information across.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suOIgjVSuvc
The way in which she interacts with the band is good because she has fun whilst chatting to them.
Her technique is good as she directs questions to certain people and is chatty but still asks the
band all the questions that have been prepared.
