Programmes of a particular genre may have similarities in the content of their title sequence. For example; a game show typically uses 3D graphics, energetic music, and bright colours, whereas a historical documentary may have less saturated colours and calmer music.
As a class activity, we listed a certain amount of genre's, and then a list of programme types, and was each assigned a mixture of the two. The genre and programme type assigned to me was Comedy Cooking Show.
Immediately, a couple of ideas came to mind. One of my ideas was to create a title sequence for a cooking show in which the person presenting the show was placed against a curtain, and the person doing the cooking would feed their arms through the curtain, behind the presenter / chef.
Another idea was of an American red neck inspired cooking show, where two people would travel across the USA, cooking any road-kill they come across.
I decided against the first idea, due to the fact that I didn't immediately know how I'd convey the concept in a title sequence. Because of this, I decided to play on the second idea, and started drawing concept art for the show.
Before too long, I decided on a catchy name for my potential show.
Redneck Roasters.
I took a lot of inspiration from American fake reality TV shows, where stereotypical characteristics are exaggerated for a British audience, such as Lizard Lick Towing.
Although this programme is not a cooking show, I started thinking of ways to bring the cooking show format into this genre and style.
