TV Set Comparisons & Contrasts

SABC Set for the 2010 Fifa World Cup












Red Carpet Set







3Talk with Noeleen Set









Rowdy Set










Fridays Live Set







When comparing all five TV sets, I would say that the best visual impact is between the the SABC, Red Carpet and 3Talk Set. The SABC stands out because of it massive ample space which in addition has a very functional and interesting spatial layout. The arches are a feature which enhances this impact. On the other hand, the Red Carpet is classy and glamorous which creates an expensive atmosphere. The layout of this set is very simplistic and moderately functional. It comprises of 3 main areas which almost merge into each other thanks to the light-pattern grid prop. However, 3Talk has a more functional spatial layout because everything sits on one multi-platform space, which is not as big as the SABC Set. On the contrary, Rowdy Set’s spatial layout is not functional because it gives the impression of being quite scattered. Besides, most of the props and furnishings are not aesthetically pleasing either. The Set for Fridays Live gives a cheap visual impact due to its furnishings and props and is very small in size. Nevertheless, credit must be given to the student’s who not only built this set but managed to produce good constructional techniques as it is both assembled and disassembled in each of their shows. The best lighting is seen in the SABC set with use of vibrant colour changing effects in the pillars at the back with ROBIN 300 Washes. 3Talk’s lighting is SABC’s opposite, in white bright light. Due to the whiteness the colours don’t work well with the set, even yellow lighting within this set creates an unattractive warm feeling.
