Elections 2016: Difference between revisions

'''Selection and development process'''

Presenter will require a lot of commitment and need to start to pin down the choice early with longer process. With the feedback come in there is a few complain about all male presenter (mostly because the "three white male" joke). It's suggested that diversity of the member need to be consider as well. However the fact that the presenter is highly involve in the development of the event as a whole had been a blessing as that allow presenter to react quickly and understand the situation when delay is happen, especially when the comm system is not holding up.

'''Presentation'''

There is criticism about the presentation style being disjointed. At the beginning of the show, a lot of edging joke is told, then when the result are release mostly dead-reading only. (part of it is the graphic fault) There is also concern about positioning in general. During result release, the presenter were standing on both side of the screen which might be distracting to look at 3 different position at the same time. Also when the dialog is passed to next presenter, often people will lost sight of the current presenter due to presenter had been changing position all the time. Similarly it's hard to predict where will the next person to speak. The spit in position had cause extra problem when inviting winner on the the stage where candidate not sure which presenter to approach or where to stand in for the camera. The major suggestion is have all three presenter stand on the same side, or fixed position with elevated platform and podium to direct audience and winner where should they look at or stand.

URY had discuss about should URY continue to handle front of house due to the negativity of the social media. However the counter argument is the social media is inherently negative, and other student media are generally hostile to URY and YSTV as competitor. Also YSTV is taking more attribution on credit and blame due to medium. Still it's a lot of effort to plan and keep up the show, but due to YUSU consistently screw up the show, it's suggested we might as well continue to do it.

In additional there is question about professionalism when interviewing PTO on stage Alex Light ask them their name and position they just won, which didn't happen for FTO. YSTV stream also have the same problem.

There is people felt the intro sequence to the back stage is a bit too long, but it explain about the break, however no one listen.

===Break and Interview video===

During breaking, FOH was playing varies video filmed by URY. They borrow Kenobi during 60SM to film interview with candidates. The reason being last year there seems complain about the break is useless. However the feedback seems not very positive in general. Part of the reason is the quality and the volume of the video, people who want to listen found it too quiet and inaudible quality wise, where people who don't care don't want to hear them at all. The Break also felt longer with those video cause the cadidate is generally boring people that people don't really care, however the comment on social media show a decent popularity of it, especially Tom's and Tamaki's.

It also confuse the audience that should they stay and watch or free to go to bar to get drink or chat to friend. It's not helping when YUSU cause the whole show had to break without announcement due to problems. URY in general agree that for the effort that they put into do it (2 days, but mostly sitting in your-space talking and planning the show so I bet to differ) it doesn't worth the time. Also there is no value in those content (interviewing candidate) on the night and after the night even though it's good content.

In practical, we will need to let the audience know why a break is needed. Although there is a backstage walk at the beginning, it might be useful to show YSTV/backstage camera stream on screen mute to let people know what going on. There is also concern for the PTO break where only FTO video is filmed, it's important that if there is any video is play it need to be relevant to the next section. Also there is a suggestion to ignore complain as people always complain as they they know what they want

From YSTV point of view, those video is not on bar of our normal production quality, especially audio quality (URY audio quality FTW). However YSTV will ultimately get the blame for them due to the nature of the medium.
