The successful Goodricke/Derwent split of the previous year was again used, and broadly the same format and set were used.  New additions included another interview spot on the balcony of Derwent bar.  This was included to try and get some more of the flavour of the atmopshere in the event into the programme, which hadn't had a correspondent in the dining hall itself for around four years.  The interviews on this camera were to be more light-hearted (such as random students, candidate supporters, JCRC chairs etc).  Also used for the first time was the Death Star camera in the main hall, allowing for far more control over the shot used that usually allowed by the camera in the dining hall.

The title sequence was made by [[Steve Walker]], depicting a room with a ballot box in it, which the camera then zooms inside.  The inside of the box is like a long corridor, with various colourful effects pulsing along and previous years' highlights on the walls, before resolving in the logo - designed by Kate herself and animated by [[Drew Perry]] - at the end of the corrifor.  By an amazing coincidence (alledgedly!) a title sequence of effectively the same concept was used for the BBC's coverage of local elections in May 2006 and 2007!  Compare the two [[http://ystv.york.ac.uk/watch/vids.php?cat=11 here (YSTV)]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSRg7P4v5C0 here (BBC)]].

A new theme tune was composed, again by [[Rob Humphrey]], which would go on to be used in a slightly remixed form for [[Elections 2006]] and [[Good Morning Campus]].  However it wasn't ready for the [[Bona Dicta]] specials and 60 Second Manifestos at the start of week 9 and so the 2003 theme was once again used for these.  The final title sequence and theme tune was only finished hours before the programme went on air!
