==Show Format:==
==Show Format==
Spotlight was created for members to experience a simple live studio show set-up. The show is headed by an executive producer, with each episode produced by a relatively in-experienced member of the station, to help learn or experience how production works. Or at least that was the theory. {{unsure|It hasn't happened so far}}.

The show is headed by an executive producer, with each episode produced by a relatively in-experienced member of the station, to help learn or experience how production works. Or at least that was the theory. {{unsure|It hasn't happened so far}}.
The show is set up with three cameras and two sofas in the set, where the presenter(s) sit on one side, and any interviewee(s) on the other. Typically the plasma either goes in the middle or off to one side depending on how much space can be invented in the studio - for Ep3 it was used to show images and slides relevant to that segment of the show, but for the other episodes it didn't get set up.


==Title Sequence==
==Title Sequence==
The title sequence was created by Sam Nicholson, and customised to the content featured on each show. It's built out of a Premiere project for the video tiles and an After Effects project to actually generate it - I'm sure if you can find it you'll figure it out!

==Episodes, Series 2 (2014-15)==
==Set==

The first five episodes of the series, taking place in the 2014-15 academic year, featured a set similar to that of Monday Evening Live. Due to the lack of lighting grid for most of the year, amongst other issues, setup varied from show to show. Typically, the show was set up with three cameras and two sofas in the set, where the presenter(s) sit on one side, and any interviewee(s) on the other. The plasma screen went in the middle or off to one side depending on how much space could be invented in the studio - for Episode 3 it was used to show images and slides relevant to that segment of the show, but for the other episodes it didn't get set up.

From Episode 6, at the beginning of the 2015-16 academic year, Spotlight gained an improved set design which has remained relatively consistent. This was thanks to the acquisition of new lights and a matching sofa, as well as the presence of the new truss lighting grid. The two sofas are set up perpendicular in the far corner of the studio, with the plasma in the middle creating a symmetric look to the set. LED lights are used to add colour to the back walls, while the presenters and guest are lit with a combination of Highlight 110 floods and Arri 650 fresnels.
