The new proposal of channel 11, which transmits Monday to Friday at 7:30 p. m., responds to the criteria of television outside of the current paradigm. To begin with, the style of execution of Contámelo all is limited and ageing.

These are some aspects that need to be developed in the new space Repretel which, by the way, is hosted by the journalist Carla Castro.

The format. This is a talk-show –program interviews–, genre of television where the guests engage in a conversation in general, frank with the presenter.

This program uses intensive interview semi-structured, which deals with the story behind the guest. Your testimony collected since, previously, is categorized as mediatizables. Out of this definition, the result of the program presents very little.

The talkshow had a golden era in the 90′s and later –with Cristina Saralegui as an example– to be issued in the whole of Latin america. Here has never been the preferred format of the television traditional, rather being produced for radio stations in small or rural with limited resources.

however, there is a precedent: this is life , led by Lizeth Castro, and in 2003, he presented audio-visual resources most complete of which presents Contámelo all today, 13 years later. This proposal feels very out of sync with what the tv entertainment is today.

On the way. Two major ignorance of the program are the music and the set, a place that is already common in Repretel.

there is Not a sound design. It fills in the spaces with music in the absence of facts. In the audio-visual the music fits when the events correspond with the narrative.

on The contrary, if the events do not correspond, the music does not draw in the audience. In the program, the music is a reel in a loop that does not complement the journalistic exercise.

The set lacks style and seems to be looking for random items to achieve textures, filled with light, circumventing the artistic quest. In the background is the set of Intruders with a re-arrangement.

A factor that far from saving the absence of weight media is the live audience. There have been people mensajeando, distracted and with a face of boredom, which shows that the same people on the set are not interpeladas for stories.

This subtracts weight from the face to the audience. Why a live audience if the resource preclude the same space? The camera shots to the public should be longer, with an audience less enlightened than subtract protagonism, "despersonifique" to avoid the dominance that they maintain.

About the fund. Looking for the creation of moments and acclimatization of the guests to get reactions that, in theory, they are rich when mediatizan.

Usually, in the audio-visual if things do not happen, they are forced to. This has been practiced up to Michael Moore in his documentaries; however, the result should be substantial and credible.

If the hearing does not find an index of credibility to the artificial exercise of force events, the result seems to be false, the program suffers this.

This is reflected in the poor rate, running many pauses to dilate the time in the set, despite being, possibly, in the face of great personal stories of overcoming. The problem is the handling and the performance, not the material.

Are even reactions run over and loose of the guests with questions and events, in many cases, naive and clearly conductivistas. This is an exercise very basics of how to develop the audio-visual space, with a set that feels empty in time and space.

The lack of audiovisual resources additional becomes a weapon against the space. A capsule, or a simple photo would do much to revive the interest of the audience that all lights, comes to decay constantly.

I recommend You give a look to the program to generate your own discretion.
