Small Screen: Difference between revisions

The format didn't change much over the two years, usually consisting of three or four clips of three of four TV programmes - both good and bad - transmitted that fortnight being reviewed and commented on.  In January 2004 the set was changed - or more accurately dispensed with.  The programme was presented "behind the scenes" at YSTV, starting off in the control room and moving into the studio, using whatever set was in place (and what was behind the cameras) and occasionely venturing out in the corridors of Goodricke.  Handheld camera operators were used, as were the security cameras around the station.  This allowed the show to look a lot more fluid than the usual YSTV "three locked-off cameras" approach.  The title sequence remained unchanged throughout - scrolling TV screens showing recordings from Sky Digital one afternoon, produced by [[Dave Baker]].  The theme tune was Mint Royale - Shake Me, changed for copyright reasons in February 2005 to something far inferior.  The original theme returned for the final show.

At [[NaSTA]] 2005 Matt Cunningham - produced of "The Matt and Dave Show" at stoic (Student Television Of Imperial College, London) introduced himself to YSTV as a massive fan of Small Screen.  As a result of this Kate, Tom and Jonathan visited stoic in June 2005 as guests on the last ever "Matt and Dave Show".  Matt and stoic Station Manager John returned the favour for the last Small Screen two weeks later.
