Question 4: Quiz Show TV Trailers
With preparation for Q4 fast approaching, here are some trailers to assist you with the storyboarding process, and give you a bit of inspiration rather than perspiration! I have also added some great links to support you with 'STORYBOARDING' given that this production skill might be a bit rusty.
More4 Launches an ONLINE QUIZ SHOW with an online INTERACTIVE TRAILER
"Quiz shows replicating a night down the pub seem to be all the rage on the Channel 4 network at the moment. Chris Moyles is doing his thing on Channel 4 at the moment, and when you think about it an unashamedly pub-style quiz show is easy TV, both to make and watch. Now More4 has got in on the act by launching its own higher-brow version. The game allows players pit themselves against the likes of Jon Snow, Tony Robinson, David Starkey and Kevin McCloud. They're like a team of Eggheads, sitting there in their More4 wooly jumpers in the corner of More4's virtual pub. It's good fun. I got seven out of 10 and most of them were guesses. Play here. There's a trailer (yes, you can have a trailer for an online quiz shows) over the jump." TV SCOOP

How important is the set design on game shows?
Here are two interviews exploring the importance of set design to game shows and how set design has changed over time within the genre. It is inevitable that your exam paper will include a question on set design and therefore it will benefit you enormously to have a knowledge and understanding of developments and debates in this area.

Year 11 Mock Exam - Quiz Show Set Design (2)
The final task of the mock exam is to design a 'set' for your Quiz Show concept. Here are some conceptual design ideas to support you with the development of your Quiz Show set. It will be important for you to consider the connotations of your design and how the different elements (lighting, colour, props, podiums, screens, furniture, entrances and exits etc.) combine to create meaning, mood, tone and a mode of address for viewers at home. Your designs will need to consider:
1. Placement of studio cameras (usually 3 + a crane)
2. Placement of the internal audience
3. Where the contestants will stand/sit
4. Where the host/hosts will stand/sit

Here is your mock exam paper:Year 11 Media Studies Mock Exam (Quiz Shows)
December 2008
You are expected to prepare your answers in advance of the exam but are not allowed to take any notes into the exam. You will have 1 ½ hours to complete the three tasks below.
- At Unit G, we are launching a new TV channel based on our wealth of past programming. We have realised that one element missing is a quiz show, so we hope you can help! We are keen to develop a new quiz show which targets young people between 14 and 20. The new quiz show should reflect our core values of respecting all members of society and providing good quality programming. To help us in our development of this new quiz show, please complete the tasks below. This is your chance to develop the central programme in our new channel’s line up!
Task 1 (40 Mark)
Choose an existing quiz show and outline:
How it uses the codes and conventions of the quiz show genre.
The rules / structure of the quiz;
What is effective about the audio/visual presentation including camera, sound and mise-en-scene
The appeal to the audience.
Task 2 (50 Marks)
Prepare a proposal for a new quiz show, remembering that any new programme must conform to G Unit core values. You must include:
The rules /structure of the quiz;
Details of prizes;
Your inspiration - which other media texts have offered you ideas (this doesn’t have to be only quiz shows);
The audio/visual presentation including camera, sound and mise-en-scene.
An audience profile
Task 3 (10 Marks)
Please produce a set design for the new show in full colour and label the key features
