The One Show: Analysis notes

Format - Magazine format, features a lot of smaller items throughout the show

Shots
- Over the Shoulder shots - Used in interviews, conveys a sense of familiarity with the audience

-Wide-Angle shots - Used mainly with main presenters, so the viewer has a full view of the studio, including set props.

-Close-up Shots - Close-up shots are also used in interviews, when a guest is being interviewed or even when a presenter is talking to the camera.

-Tracking shots - often used when a presenter is talking and walking at the same time, or even to establish a scene.

Voiceover - Often narrates for the audience, telling them what's going on and giving them information about future events on the program.

Set - The set of the One Show specifically is very colourful, using primary, bright colours. Outside, the audience can see a view of BBC Central, which seems to be a moving image instead of a pre-set static shot.

Presenters - The presenters are shown to be quite relaxed and comfortable, wearing casual clothes that could be seen as more welcoming by the audience. The presenters are also seen to be sitting close to each other, suggesting a friendly environment and relationship between the two. Formality of language appears to vary throughout the show, taking a more formal, professional tone when introducing packages and items on the show, as opposed to a more casual tone taken when talking to guests or with each other.

Guests - The show tends to feature one permanent guest throughout the program, who is usually relevant to something on T.V or linked to the media or press in some way. Several minor guests also feature, and each minor guest is relevant to each different segment of the program. Most guests are informal and relaxed, much like the presenters, though they are never seen addressing the camera directly as the presenters do, instead talking to the audience through the presenters.

Casual - There is a distinct sense of casualness between the presenters and the guests, suggesting a laid-back, informal atmosphere. There is also a sense of casualness in the studio's layout, with the use of primary colours and the view of BBC Central again suggesting a laid-back atmosphere. Wide-angle shots also reveal gaps in the set which displays the technical equipment hiding behind the colourful set.

-Props- The props used are normally simple, everyday items related or relevant to an item in the show. The props are usually in clear sight, and are related too at some point in the program.
