Right from the start of the show archive footage is played because the show is about football matches that were taken placed earlier in the day. The archive footage is there to show the audience the highlights of the missed football match's you could also say match of the day is a reply show. They also prove there facts with use of experts and graphics. However they also have point of views that would be expanded on so peple would understand the terminology with imagery and graphics.
When ever the archive footage was played when the experts and presenter was proving a point they use graphics 29:36 to help people visualize who they are talking about and they also draw out with shapes were the ball should been played to inform others of a skill of tactic this simply adds more to the reviewing of play because if it was a simple discussion show not alot of people would watch it but because they have fun reviewing the match and have great "Banter" and the use of graphics make people stay this what makes a good review show.

Special Interest Documentary

A special interest documentary is a normal filmed documentary that appeals to a certain age group or criteria. In a traditional documentary they use the original conventions such as giving evidence and there point of view depending on the topic of the documentary. Traditional Documentary would be shown on mainstream TV but this genre of documentary are not because not every one would have an interest in the topic so mainstream would allow other people to pick from shows. A special interest documentary can also be a spin off by only producing one episode.

911 what really happened is a Special Interest Documentary because of the way it was filmed. this documentary was filmed with out a presenter and with archive footage to show as evidence. This is also a special documentary because it goes over other facts of why it happened and simply its different because its a spin off. This documentary isn't one that would come on mainstream TV out of respect to the people that had lost someone



Britain's really disgusting food is a special interest documentary because it wouldn't appeal to everyone and its gets a point across in the title that they will be looking a disgusting food. This is a special documentary because it wouldn't really be shown on mainstream TV because no one would watch it but its most likely to be viewed on food channels. Also this documentary is a special interest one because it has a very specific audience I think it would be all parents because it shows them what's in food hey give to there children.


The Imposter

The Imposter is a special interest documentary because it was a spin of show about who had gone missing and was founded in Spain but the boy was the imposter and planned his way to america to live with a family . This here is a convention. This is a strong and interesting premise because there was a back story and that what made the idea strong. At 049 seconds archive footage is being shown of a family get together for a birthday party this video had the real child that went missing. They put in the archive footage because they wanted to clearly show you how the family was ad how close they were together when they are in the same house. after the archive footage was shown at 1:22 The sister didn't a short 3 seconds voice over to the graphics. You could say this documentary did have experts in the video, the experts would be the Mother and Sister experts of controlling there emotions. The editing at 2:24 was there to create a visual to the audience and let the listen to the phone call to the police. This is one of the reasons that this is a stand alone documentary. The other reason's are the photos and the footage. During the video there was voice overs but only when they were explaining the images in the photo book However  presentation of facts was included because they wanted to inform people about "catfish" and how the effect people emotions

Make over show

A make over show is when a person goes through a changer were you can tell the diffrent its like before and after. A make over show can also change the way some one or something looks or change a persons life completely. Some shows do not base it around people there are shows that do it on homes and how clean it is and even some shows are changing the look of a car.

A extreme make over show is 60 minuet make over as a person is picked based on how there past has been and someone wants to do something nice for them. The team has 60 minuets to transform a house to a nice one. To complete the house in 60 minuets they have to use a number of experts to help during each episode and they they show how its changed before and after




Hotel inspector is a make over show because she first inspects the hotel by each room and then she talks to the owners about it and then they do he make over to the hotel to be one that people would like to stay in . Also in the show they try to show the building stages to the hotel and how they have improved the toilets the bed rooms and the kitchen.

Pimp My Ride is a make over show based on turning cars that are warn out to be brand new again. In this example the VW Golf mk2 was warn out and did look like he needed a new car but he contacted Pimp my ride where they proceeded to make elements to make the car new again . This show is completely diffrent to the other make over shows because they don't really sow any archive footage hey make a point about the and then they give evidence for example at the back of the car at 3:51 he spoke about the speakers and he tried to cover it cup and then they give visual evidence and show the audience. At 8:52 the use of experts were when they were all gathered around a table and they were talking about the changes they were going to make to the car.

A chat show is where a presenter would talk to the guest about their life's and what they would be doing in the future. Some chat shows can be on the serious note aswell because they talk about every day issues or changes that cause conflict to another person or people.

Jeremy Kyle is a chat show because people with real life problems come on to ask for help from experts. At 0:05 audience participation is high because the presenter/ expert walking through the audience to say welcome to the show to the audience at home and the audience. Also at 1:31 the presenter repeats what the guest say to make the male a victim and make the female look like the villain. Some times on the show, well most of the time they make the guest look like fools to make a profit then they offer the guest with expert help to improve there relationships.At 0:36 they keep switching between guest to show the audience more of the conflict so they debate about a child or a relationship.

Another example of a chat show is Alan Carr chatty man. In this show its a little more up beat and more interactive with the audience because it would be shown to 18-32 years old after a long day its one of them shows that make you laugh but in a chat show form.



Another great example is The Jonathan Ross show its the same as chatty man light hearted and to be viewed after work. They also have guest on the show but its not like Jeremy kyle were they make them look like fools and then offer them help Its a show with "Banter"



Magazine Show

An example of a Magazine show is the One show. The one show is a magazine show because we see an interview take place with a presenter and a guest but they all aloud to freely move in the studio . The interview that takes place is the presenter asking question to the guest about them self but not to personal the also play games with the guest to not make the show boring.


Another magazine show is blue peter. This show is for children so they do include alot of games to keep them watching but they also educate them with facts about topics with experts coming on the show. They also allow people to contact the through letters and they would be shown on TV so there is some level of audience participation





Top Gear is a magazine show because they are producing facts for the audience but then they are also proving a point. Right from the start on the video at 0:02 a montage comes on the screen of what coming up on the show with a voice over of the presenter. At 1:40 there is a voice over from a presenter talking about what's the is good for hut you can also hear music in the background to match the flow of the presentation. At 1:47 even though he is still driving  the presenter still maintenance eye contact with the audience because he wants to be talk to them. However at 6:18 they change from a pre recorded video to the studio so that you can see the audience there and so that the show can officially start with the great "BANTER" that is among the three presenters. At 18:48 they have an interview with two guest that would ask question like what were your first three cars and why and then once they have answers the presenter can be judgemental about the cars so they can quickly put a star in a car and show the audience the lap on the race track. During the video when the interview was taking place the the presenter presented facts to the guest and they replied to them if it  was false or if it was the truth
