Documentary Presenter:
In this documentary presented by Stacey Dooley, we follow her on a journey where she intervenes and investigates the extreme muslim influences and how they have taken over her hometown, the context of most her documentary involves exposing of some type and giving her opinions upon the matter and being firsthand involved in the subject herself. From viewing this documentary start to end a lot of verbal techniques are used from the sentence structure to the tone of voice, however during different parts of the documentary these change such as when she is confronting a muslim extremist (9.15) her tone of voice changes with a sense of anger lingering underneath this shows that she wants to get her points across and is involved in the action instead of just being on the sidelines
this allows the audience to be entertained, however she maintains a illustrative language throughout alongside visual techniques such as physical gestures and body language to allow the audience to understand how she feels towards the subject.
Game show host:
Family Feud is a game show targeting families and people of all ages, the goal of the game is for both participating families to guess the popular answers of a survey in order to win cash and prizes, family feud has been ongoing since the 1970's and a change of hosts has been in place but the show still shares the same connotations of humour and entertainment throughout, because of this the host has to be very clever in terms of showing different attitudes and verbal techniques to entertain the audiences, a verbal technique i'll be naming of is the use of quotations, sometimes the host which in this case Steven Harvey, quotes something a participant has said and repeats it in a slow fashion alongside visual techniques such as facial expressions, the result of this allows the audience to interpret it differently in ways such as realising that it may of sounded sexual or making fun of what the participants had let out their mouths being something silly, because of this it allows the show to become unique in its own humorous agenda.
News presenter
News presenters are often very serious when presenting the news, they maintain good posture and announcing the news baring in mind the use of language and phrasing structures. A example i'll be using is of BBC news 'The world Today', the news presenter throughout maintains a consistency of her tone of voice, it remains calm and self-justified in a manner where we can hear and understand her clearly. In addition to this her pace of delivery is smooth and timbre fulfilling the details of a certain news then smoothly moving on to another. Visual techniques i've noticed are that her dress and appearance is smart wearing a black blazer and little to no make-up, her body language is kept formal maintaining good posture and her position in her seat is glued. Her movement in terms of facial expressions are kept to a minimum showing a neutral expression, also her physical gestures are rarely seen with the exception of frequently quotation signs however during the part when the news presenter at the studio was interviewing someone she used a couple of hand gestures to get across her points.
DJ
There are different DJs at different radio stations and each DJ has its own type of audience, for example a Hip-hop urban DJ will be using more slang to appeal to their audiences making them understand and relate to them better whereas a radio station targeting older adults will be more light-hearted and more serious compared to the other. A example i'll be using of is the DJ for capital One Extra TimwestwoodTV, the first verbal technique i'll be talking about is appropriate to audience, from the way he talks and the content he talks about is very important for example audiences might not want to hear about what is going with the gardening club but they will prefer to hear about celebrity gossip within the music industry such as the beef between Nick cannon and Eminem.
Magazine programme presenter
A magazine programme is usually broadcast during the day, it targets a wide range of audiences with the exception of Loose woman which most targets woman and their lifestyle/issues. A magazine presenter hosts this type of show with each episode coming anew with daily big topics to talk about, common verbal techniques used are appropriate to audience, in this case i'll be using the example of Loose Woman, the content usually involves issues regarding relationships, celebrity gossip and other things that appeal to the audience of housewives. Another verbal technique used is Use of quotations, as a lot of times seen in the show, the host references something a particular person has said such as a a celebrity or a politician therefore this allows them to discuss on the topic and audiences at home can also interact. Verbal techniques used is dress and appearance as casual, wearing leggings crop tops and physical gestures are used to communicate to each other and the audience in a friendly way.
Continuity announcer
A continuity announcer is the voice who announces what programmes are next, they can be either male or female, the verbal techniques generally used are pace of delivery, their speech has to be fluent and usually said in a not slow not fast fashion where the audience can understand exactly what programme is going to come on next. Another verbal technique used is breadth of vocabulary, the continuity announcer has to pronounce the vocabulary in a way that the audience can easily understand. As for visual techniques there isn't one because you can only hear the voice of a continuity announcer.
Chat Show
A chat show is a show that invites celebrities and guests on stage to interview or talk about a particular topic, for this example i've choose Adele on Jimmy Fallon, a verbal technique used is consistency, in the majority of Jimmy Fallon shows, a lot humour is show and as for the goofy challenges that entertain the audience, because of this those who watch Jimmy Fallon no what to expect when a celebrity comes on the show, these celebrities participate in colourful challenges and the host talks to them as if they are very friendly. Another verbal technique used is Tone of voice, his tone of voice in this particular clip changes a lot, this is because he tried to do a high pitched British accent, this also shows that his show is very versatile and friendly and funny for audiences to watch. During their interaction physical gestures are used, we see this in most of Jimmy Fallon's interviews, he does this to make the person being interviewed speak as if they are friends to as if imply that they can express true opinions more freely therefore giving exclusive insight to the audiences standing out from other chat shows. Facial expressions is also widely used in Jimmy Fallon's chat shows, this is because the facial expressions he and his guests make are to entertain the audiences and are used freely as such.
Lifestyle Programme presenter
A lifestyle programme presenter can be represented differently regarding what programme it is, a example i'll be taking out of is Come dine with me. If those familiar with the show know that the presenter is often very sarcastic, using verbal techniques such as Tone of voice, the presenters tone of voice is usually high,giddy and joking, along with breadth of vocabulary, some words are pronounced with a twist to imply a humorous side to the content. The context of the show is cooking and it targets ages of 16-30 due of its targeted humour. The presenter of this show is the narrator therefore there isn't any visual techniques used.
Broadcast Journalist
A broadcast journalist is portrayed as intelligent and knowledgable and usually knows what they are talking about, the way they talk is similar to of a news presenter certain facial expressions are used only at the right time if not they are not used at all and they are usually looking straight into the camera with exceptions of interviews, example i'll be using is of is a young lady who is presenting news on the aircraft solar impulse, she remains a consistent tone of voice and pace of delivery allowing a clear understand to the audience, Illustrative language is used as seen in the clip where she is accurate and consistent in what she is talking about. Visual techniques such as hand gestures are often used to illustrate and follow up what she is saying, her body language remains neutral during her speech towards the audience, as when she is in the aircraft her body language shows us that she is excited to try out the new plane.
The location of the Broadcast Journalist is located 'outside' to that they
