This multi camera studio set up is designed specifically for the Graham Norton show that is aired on BBC 1. In this short clip you can see that who the presenter clearly is and who the guests are; this is because Graham Norton (Presenter) is sit on his on chair on the left interviewing the guests which are on his right just in from of him, he is sat the position a presenter would be and the guests are all sat closely together on the opposite side of him. In this particular multi camera sat up i can estimate that there are four different multi cameras in tact. The first would be on the right directing straight to Graham Norton, the second would be to the left facing the guests on the show, the third camera would be behind the crowd getting a shot of all guests, studio and the audience, the last would in the middle capturing mid shots of all guests. The three cameras at the front of studio i believe to be on one 180 degree tracker just shooting the front, and the last camera to be at the very back of the studio. Using multi camera techniques and various multi cameras isn't as complex as it would be for a music festival as a studio is much smaller to film and also there are only limited shots you can capture. The Graham Norton show wouldn't need as many multi camera techniques as a festival, it is very similar to any studio set up production and the majority of those set ups would have similar multi cameras in the same place and use the same multi-camera techniques. Like all chat shows, the Graham Norton show uses on screen motion graphics and graphic logos, as the chat show is so vastly popular, shots have to be in tact and perfect every time showcasing the guests that appear on to it; in this episode Mark Walburg is one of the guests on the show, he is showcasing his ability to name 57 movie titles in the space of a few seconds, whilst he speaks one of the multi cameras is set on him, after he finished other cameras showcase other guests reactions to it. As the show is being broadcasting and is being mixed live; The crew have to be very fast when changing shots from one to another, the camera men have important jobs of keeping the cameras on the most important person at that time.
