Re: Dame Ellens on ITV now.

Just watched it, never ceases to amaze how little content there is in a visual program, perhaps Ellen should have spoken more, or more images, as it was I just felt it had to be a trailer, but she is somewhat impressive!

Re: Dame Ellens on ITV now.

If that reporter had commented one more time about "exclusive" or "I'm the only reporter allowed on board", I'd have chucked something at the TV...I think what Day Melon achieved was just a little more worthy of praise than his percieved triumph in interviewing her.

Git.

Re: Dame Ellens on ITV now.

What really annoys, is the programme-makers's apparent perception of his (her) target audience as channel-hopping feuilletons who can barely muster a three-minute attention span. Having taped this (without the ads) I have approx. 23 mins of material. The storyboard:

Dramatic title sequence with stirring music
Preview of the programme
Content
Review of the first first half
Preview of the second half
Ad break
Review of the first half
Preview of the second half
Content
Reprise of idyllic sailing moment
End

I would be surprised if less than 20% of the total running time was duplicated footage.

Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against the guy (gal) who made this prog, I enjoyed it and there were a couple of moments which altered my view of Ellen. My problem is with the programme-making ethos that required that it follow this format. When did this happen? ...and what did we do to deserve it?

Re: Dame Ellen\'s on ITV now.

There are some excellent programs on the team Ellen site.

Launch the OC TV and browse through. There is an hours worth on the Vendee Globe and many other. Very well made with oodles of sailing footage.

You may need broadband, but it does have a slower option available.

Enjoy.....
