LO1: Master Chef Analysis

Content - looking at the content of this show you can see that it is aimed at an older target audience, this is because it includes it includes things that adults would find interesting for example different recipes and foods. The content of this show makes it seem more interesting because it has different sections to the show. For example the introduction to the show makes it seem very professional abut quite dramatic which I think makes the audience for interesting.

Structure - The structure of this show gives it a much better finish to it. The start of the show with the introduction explains what will be on the show and then it goes onto seeing the different chefs in kitchen situations working for different things then onto a competition section of the show and finally with a review of what they have cooked. This is to give the show a professional theme and make it interesting to the audience, it is also to target specific people for example some people might favor the competition part but other might prefer the part in the real kitchens.

Presenters and MES - Looking at the presenters and the mise en Scene of the show you can see that the show is meant for adults, Looking at target demographics there is nothing that points out it is aimed at the higher end of working people. The clothes that the presenters and chefs are just everyday clothes and not suits or anything smart or high class. Looking at the props and the settings of the show you can see that it is a serious professional competition and not messing around. The smart restaurant and the modern room with the sides in connote that the chefs are very good at what they are doing and not just amateurs.

Camerawork - Looking at the camera work in this show you can see that detail is important, I know this because of the amount of close up shots that are used on different things. For example everything that is going on with the cooking, cutting, slicing and cooking. But there are also close up shots on the chefs faces when interviewing them on how they did, I think that it just so we can see how they are or how they feel about their final meals.

use of effects and titles - I like the use of titles on the show because I think that it gives it a professional look. They aren't that many titles in this show but the small ones used to give information make it seem better. There are also not that much effects in this show as well, I think that this show has a different style to the other ones that I have analysed because this one seems to be more like a documentary following the chefs through the different scenarios but the other ones are more of what they have chosen to do instead of what they have been given to do.
