Short Summary

Hello baby is a reality program from Korea. They have to 6 seasons already. The images above show from the first season till the current seasons. 

This is a reality program which is about a group of singers taking care of a baby or more then one. To allow them to learn how to be a responsible person on their future. They need to take care the baby like they own them. They need to take a very high responsible on the baby. For example, on their educations, food wise and etc. They need to let them learn how to do stuff like what the parents will do.

One seasons last for 3 months which is 12 episode. 

This is the first episode of season 5 Hello baby. This season is about a group called MBLAQ which consists of 5 member taking care of 3 babes of the age of 2 years old. You can have a look how they come through the process with the children. Enjoy:)

Mise-en-scene

Background decoration - There are no props on this program because this is a reality program. The background decoration changes according to the location.

Lighting - Natural lighting such as daylight because reality program does not need lighting.

Costume - Costume and attire wear are casual cloths because this is a reality program.

Location - Home and outdoors depending on where they going and all. There are no fix place or location.

Values that I've learn in this program are the relationship between the babies and attitude between everyone. Babies learn how to speak correctly to a adult and how the culture works in korea because 3 of the babies have one foreign father or mother. So most of them do not have a correct way of teaching the traditional culture that they need to learn in korea. Day by day, the relationship between 5 members and the babies are getting stronger. The bonding between all of them are one of the best value that I've learn from it.

Invincible Youth Season 2

http://ent.fengone.com/d/20120330/308119.html

Short Summary

Youth incredible program is a korean reality program which been divided into 2 different season. The first season lasted for a year. Season 2 is still going on now in year 2012. The only different between both is the members that are in the show.

This Reality Show is about a group of girl from different group of band or company living in a village. They need to learn how to survive in the village rather then their own city life. Some of them are brought up in the city and never try leaving in a village before.

They learn how to grow vegetables, catch fish, cook dinner, look after the old folks and many things that living in the city will never have the chance of learning. This program is to let the fans or people know that singers or artist are still a human being, they still can work the rough way thru life. On the other side, people can see the real attitude or faces of the singer or artist itself through in program without wearing fashionable clothing and thick make up. This program shows a natural side of the person. :)

I can't find the first episode but this is the second episode of season2 with english sub. The other episode are all link with this youtube channel.:)

Mise-en-scene

Background decoration - Village house. No props needed because this is a reality program.

Lighting - Natural lighting such as daylight, ceiling light and etc.

Costume - Village style with baggy pants which allows people to bend to work easily and cloths which is simple to work too. This is opposite the way a singer and artist needs to wear because this is to relate to the show.:)

Location - The first season was shot in a village called Yuchi-ri which is located at Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do in South Korea. The second season took place in a fishing village in Daebu Island, Ansan, Gyeonggi province.

Values that I've learn while watching this program is that the team work between one another to finish a task. For example, fishing for their dinner. I've also learn their independence during the show on how to cook for 200 old folks, how to grow vegetables, how to keep the farm clean, how to take care of the animals and etc. The values they gave out are very strong not because they are an artist or singers but because they are a normal person. :)

Short Summary

Shinhwa broadcast is a Korean Reality Program. This show is about a group of 6 singers which came back from their national service after 4 years as they promise their fans on their last concert. They are one of the lasting boy group in korea which last for 14 years. They did their comeback songs this year and started with this program to let their long lasted fans to know more about them after disappearing for 4 years.

Each episode they will be a short mission to get a long each other.  For example, the image above is about them pursuing the most children to like them. The way they tried to make the children to like them are so funny. On the episode you can also see who is the least children lover.

Each episode bring real, joy, tears to the audience. I am also one of the big fan and I'm still watching it every single week once.

This is the first episode with english subtitle on it. So enjoy ya:)

Mise-en-scene

Background decoration - For example, first episode which is the video above which i've just posted. The crew decorated the studio like a room which have sofa and all to make it feel real. But mainly shot outdoor and the props are following the theme or mission that they have to to that day.

Lighting - On the studio, it will have lighting crew giving the lighting depending on the them itself but outdoors are mainly natural lighting because this is a reality program.

Costume - Depending on the mission. For example, the video above is at the 17th episode. This episode is above back to school. So the attire or costume will be school uniform to relate to the theme.

Location - Depending on the mission itself. For example, on the video above which having a them of back to school. So the whole entire episode was shot in school.


Values that I've learn while watching this program is that loyalty and bonding between members and fans. The group has last for 14 years together on stage and even lives together, their friendship never ends. The promises that they make 4 years ago on their last concert is so hard to keep but yet they kept and came back with they new song title. The loyalty to their fans kept them so strong to coma back as one.

I can say they are one of my role model in a way. :)

Full House (Super Junior) - Korean Reality Programs

http://ithetimes.wordpress.com/2011/05/06/eng-sub-060812-super-junior-full-house-ep-12/

http://www.dkpopnews.net/2010/06/news-suju-full-house-eva-is-getting.html

http://allkoreanentertainment.blogspot.com/2011/04/eng-sub-super-junior-full-house-all.html

Short Summary

Full House which starring 2 foreigners and a famous boy group in Korea called Super Junior. The show was broadcasted during 2006 and its one season type of show. I was only 15 years old when I watch this show and I still remember it clearly.

The show was about a new famous boy group artist trying to make their way to international. So the directors (but in korea they call them PD) invites 2 lovely girl foreigners by letting them to learn more language and culture. One of them are from Russia and another are from Japan but she is mix american. The moment Super Junior brings korean culture to them and they bring their culture to them bring so much laughter to me as the audience. The way they make the both foreigners not to feel awkward but as a family. The last episode when they planned a farewell party to both of them for being with them about 3 months. Tears are dropping everywhere and so do me. This was the first korean reality program that I watch.

I can't find the first part of the first episode where 13 of the members went to the airport to fetch both of the foreigners. The moment when they try to speak english but found out that they do know how to speak korean are very funny. This video on top is the second part of the first episode and so on. This part is when they invite them to their dorm and have a ice breaking section.

Mise-en-scene

Background Decoration - Natural stuff. For example, as in the video the move to places and props are the places itself.

Lighting - Natural lighting such as daylight and ceiling light because this is a reality program.

Costume - Casual clothes because they are capturing everyday life like an ordinary person although 13 of the boys are artists.

Location - Super Junior's dorm and the neighborhood itself.

Values that I've learn from it was that different culture can still be united as one. Language is not a problem because if you have the will or heart to learn, you will learn or get it fast. The relationship between friends in the show are so real and touching, it show so obviously that they are not acting. The bond between the members and their 2 new foreigners friends are so strong that I myself should learn from them.

http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/giuliana-and-bill-rancic-tear-up-during-first-ultrasound-201215

Short Summary

Giuliana and Bill is one of my all time favorite reality show. The program showed how both of them met, date, propose, married and move on to their life. Both of them look so cute together. They also showed how they try to make time to meet each other because Giuliana is always busy on her work as a live broadcaster at E! News in LA and her husband which is a success businessman working in Chicago. They always have this problem because no ones want to scarifies their job but they still truly love each other.

E! New reporter Giuliana Rancic and her husband, "Apprentice" winner Bill Rancic, lead a whirlwind life. She's a TV personality in LA, while Bill is a real estate developer and businessman in Chicago. These newlyweds live in different cities, with very different lives, but still manage to make it work.

http://www.mystyle.com/tv-shows/giuliana-and-bill/

 In the show, it also show the progress of Giuliana try on many way of having a baby and at the end she got it although she passed through a lot of different obstacles.  

http://lastheplace.com/2009/08/03/chef-rocco-dispirito-celebrates-giuliana-bill-with-bertolli-frozen-meals-at-the-malibu-beach-house/

The up and down of their lives are all being captured on the show. I do feel their up and downs. This is how reality programs are so powerful. It is so real until the audience feel it too.

They have up to 5 seasons of show until 2012.

Mise-en-scene

Background decoration - All the background decoration are followed by the location depending where Giuliana and Bill go. Props are not a need because this is a reality program.

Lighting - Natural Lighting. For example, ceiling light, daylight and etc. During Giuliana working, lightning are being placed depending on the studio. 

Costume - Formal wear normally because they are working people. But at home they normally wear casual clothes as an ordinary person do.

Location - Chicago and LA sometimes Italy thats where Giuliana's family are. Chicago is where Bill lives and his family are. LA is where Giuliana works and hope to stay for the future.

Values that I've learn from them are the bonding relationship of both of them and their family. The strong love to their family members always come first then work come second although both of them love their jobs a lot too. Nevertheless, the process of 2 person comes together. From 2 different places and culture then combine it as one.

The sweetness of them always gave me goosebumps and is a good sign.:)

This is one part of show which Giuliana finally have her time to meet up with a gang of girlfriends after being married to Bill. Enjoy.:)

Short Summary

A cyclical competition where women from all over the U.S. compete for the honor of being America's next "it girl" in the modeling world.

I watch american since from the first cycle till cycle 18 which is this year. This program shows the reality of a group of ordinary girls who have the dream of being the top model in the industry compete together. The show are hosted by Tyra Banks, one of the famous top model in the world.

On the first episode of every cycle, they will show how the judges choose the competitors from 100 girls to 40 then drop down to 20 girls which is in the running of american next top model. I always love it when ever Tyra Bank said " You are still in the running of american next top model " during the part of every episode.

Oh well. Let me continue. This group of 20 girls will be placed into a same house together. Every cycle they will have cats fight all over and argument and all. This is because there are 20 person with 20 different attitude staying together.  This are some of the clip of them fighting or even arguing to each other.

Other then that, these 20 girls need to compete every single episode and each episode a girl will go home straight away when she got the worst picture of the day. On the 20th episode, 2 last competitors will need to compete to be the first which is really the american next top model. 

I always like how Tyra Banks speaks in the programs. This video is about the first model who ever make her angry in a tv program. 

In the video, you can really see how real is the program. They are all not acting. Thats the reason why this is so real, when Tyra banks shouted at her, I do feel how Tyra feels.

Mise-en-scene

Decoration - Background decoration are following the them of the photoshoot on that day itself. 

Lighting - The lighting on this programs are mainly natural lighting. But during the photoshoot they use lighting according to theme itself.

Costume - Mainly the costume itself are wearing according to the style of the model themselves during offset but there style will never be off fashion because they want to be a model. But on the other side, costume are prepared by the crew while having a photoshoot by following the theme of the photoshoot on that day.

Location - The location take place outdoors or indoor such as studio depending on the theme of the photoshoot. Other wise, the models are mostly shot at the apartment or home.

http://realitytvmagazine.sheknows.com/2011/03/23/americas-next-top-model-the-models-get-catty-in-clothes-by-rachel-zoe/

Both of the image showing the consistence during the panel time. I always feel nervous while looking at them. I will also feel sad for those who is being eliminated although i'm not the one participating in the contest. This is how reality works.

The values that brought in the programs are tolerance and profession. They really need to be tolerance which each and other although they are competing with each other. It is always better to have a friend rather then a frienemy which means enemy. Other then that, some of the profession which they stay during the photoshoot are very good. They did not bring they own problems onset and stayed professional for the whole entire photoshoot. Some time they stay professional although they are having sick.

Mise-en-scene

Mise-en-scene, a french term that means " placing on stage" or "put in scene". I found out that miss-en-scene doesn't not come from a production term. From the research, I've found out that the word mise-en-scene doesn't came just like that. The real meaning of mise-en-scene are the result of combining different type of professional together. Some people may think that the most important part of a film or a show are the directors, actors and maybe the editor. But the make-up artists, substitute, cameraman, people who prepare props for all the scenes, all of them have a big influence in the mise-en-scene.

Break downs on mise-en-scene.

Décor

http://shineeshawols.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/onew-gets-owned-by-the-karaoke-machine-on-hello-baby/

Décor referring to the decoration of the stage or sets on the show. They bring a large idea on what is the whole show or film is all about. It is very important to the directors to bring out what they mood and feel of the whole entire show or film.

Lightings

http://ithetimes.wordpress.com/2010/12/21/eng-sub-090426-we-got-married-jung-hyung-don-taeyeon-pudding-jelly-couple-ep-13/

Lighting stands a very strong part in mise-en-scene theory. By using different light can bring the different type of mood and feel to the audience. 

For example, the image above is from a reality program called 'We Got Married-Season1'. The lightning in the show coming naturally above to show the natural of the show because it wants to bring the feel of reality to the audience. 

Costume 

http://www.baba.cc/view/12276.html

Characters need to use correct costume that fits the film or the show to bring out the mood and feel of the character itself and also combining with the show or film. 

For example, the image above is from a reality program called 'Youth Incredible' from korea. The costume that the wrist or singers are not wearing fashionable style but baggy and clothes who wears while doing work in the village. They use they cloths to bring out what they are doing in the show. 

Location

http://michiganavemag.com/channels/home-page/insights/new-restaurant-giuliana-rancic-opens-rpm

Location of the scene are another important part to in a film or show. For example, the image is from a reality program called 'Giuliana and Bill'. All the location take place during their daily life. In the image above showed that giuliana is having fun playing a bartender role.

As you can see, miss-en-scene is very important when a crew start to plan their film or show. No matter what type of programs or film, mise-en-scene always comes in to the discussion first to make the whole film or show to be perfect.
