I have decided to use comic relief from 2009 to analyse as i feel there is alot to talk about in terms of conventions.
There are many different conventions in the live t.v programme comic relief these including, Presenters, sob stories, websites and logo in the top left hand corner and many more.
Stereotypically in this Live programme the presenters are there to introduce the show and to make the audience want to watch it, this could be done in many different ways, these including humor and intriguing conversations. Normally presenters are picked to broaden the different people that watch it e.g. male and females, and people from different ethnic backgrounds. As well as this they are used to show the relationship between the two of them as well as show what the show is all about. The types of presenters that are used are the sort of people that have lots in common so they have a good laugh and bounce off each other, It is interesting to watch them as they make the audience laugh therefore making the audience want to keep watching rather then turn it over when the adverts come on.
The whole way through comic relief they have some sort of sob story going on these including poor children in africa/kenya and children that cant afford decent food water and shelter. this is basically what the whole of comic relief is about and all the facts and statistics shown in the programme are then backed up by the footage that they show, within the footage of the schooling in africa there is normally some sort of celebrity that goes along to make it seem worse than it may actually be it also gives that celebrity a bit of publicity as they are helping notify to the public how bad these issues actually are.
The screenshot quite clearly shows the audience of comic relief that they are very fortunate with there houses, money etc. This part of comic relief is put in to make the audience realise how less fortunate these children in africa and kenya are. his is designed to make the audience want to donate money to help out the people that are less fortunate to get clean water, proper shelter and better schooling. the screen shots that are shown within this text shows the range of different shot sizes and angles that are used, meaning that it isnt boring to the people watching the programmes as there is a lot of variety.
Throughout the programme there are many different clips from different t.v Programs that have specially made episodes for comic relief. this is put in to promote comic relief further and to make the audience more interested in watching it due to the programs they have put in. This may be due to the nature of the normal episodes that outnumbered have done for example as they are amusing to watch due to the constant humour throughout the episodes.
In the whole of the program there is always something in the top left hand corner as the first thing that you tend to look at is from the top left hand corner just like you would do if you were reading a book. They have the number and the website in the corner as it is important that the audience sees it to encourage them to donate money. With this they can get more money for the children in need of new schools, houses, food and water. All the money that they get will help towards the better standard of living for the families that arent as fortunate as us.With the websites in action it means that looking at the history of comic releif is easy as the uinformation from each year is on the website, it tells your the amount of money that the world raise for the charity and thanks everyone for their generosity.
The legal and Ethical side of comic relief doesn't seem to have that much of an impact on the program. This is due to the way in which that the audience aren't seeing anything so horrific that they need tohave a ban on it. As well as this it also seems as if there is no sort of Legal issues that could be affected, apart from the copyright. The program is copyrighted by the producer and the charity to make sure that there are no issues of people trying to make the program as their own.
