LO1: Top Gear Analysis

 Content - The content of the show contains different sections to the show for example, adventures, reviews and a celebrity guest challenge. The different sections to the show are to interest different people and have a bigger audience. For example not everyone is interested in just car reviews others watch top gear for the adventure and fun. Whilst others watch it too see well known celebrities messing around and racing.

Structure - the structure of the show starts with something related to the viewers for example something to do with traffic or insurance etc. It then goes on to the news where the 3 presenters sit together and discuss new car releases and news on the motor world. Then cut back to the adventure or story of the show and then onto the star in a reasonably priced car then back to the story until the end.

Presenters and MES - Jeremy Clarkson, James May, Richard Hammond, the costume of the 3 presenters in the show are dressed similar to the audience, which would be mostly men from 20 to 60, this is good because if they look like the audience then it gives a friendly vibe to the show and not just talking to some presenter in a suit with no personality.

Camerawork - The camera work in the show is different depending on the content. for example if it is the presenters it will be a median close up shot from the shoulders to just above the head this is to give all the viewer attention to the presenter talking, the camera will switch between one and the other in a conversation to give the presenter all the attention when speaking.

Use of effects and titles - The title sequence at the start of the show gets the viewers attention straight away and tells the audience what the show is about. The sound in the title sequence causes branding recognition for the show. when the small tune os played it will be remembered in the viewers head and the audience will know what it means every time they hear it.
