The overall set is designed by the Art Design Team, designing the backboards, the table and the board in front of the table. When planning and designing the set for a TV show, the set needs to show the theme of the show, by just looking at the set, it portrays the whole theme and style of the show, before getting into the main body of the show. For example the TV Show, 'Have I Got News For You' has a set covered with funny news headlines on newspapers, from this, you can tell immediately, it is a show talking all about the news headlines, by adding comedy to it.
Another important part of planning and designing of the set is to choose appropriate colours. This is seen very important because the Talent need to stand out of the set, and not match in with the set. Dark colours for a set is most appropriate, as this does not allow the set to stand out more than the Talent. Also with bright colours, the camera may not be able to handle the brightness, which could make all the shots look very untidy and tacky.This links with the tonal palette of the overall production, which needs to be verified.
The Protocols of Designing a Set:
-Design the set so the Camera Operators can still get all their important shots needed for the show.
-Plenty of designs for the set, not just sticking to one idea. Mixing the ideas around would work well, making sure the set looks appealing.
-Mise En Scene also needs looking into such as props, to allow the Art Design team to work out the positions of the set, and how much set they need.
