This week has been very fulfilling. We discussed how online talk shows in the digital age maintain success and audience loyalty amid the constantly changing media landscape. This topic sparked many interesting insights and deep reflections, making us realize that in the digital age, the success of online talk shows depends not only on the humor and creativity of the content but also on interaction and engagement with the audience. With the rise of social media, audiences are no longer passively watching shows but are becoming part of them.

Jeffrey J (2009) mentioned that with the diversification of content in morning talk shows, late-night talk shows have become increasingly popular, clearly differing in form from most other online content. This point has prompted me to think deeply about the form of talk shows. Traditional morning talk shows attract a large audience by humorously discussing hot topics, while late-night talk shows provide a relaxed atmosphere for viewers to unwind at the end of a tiring day through humor and profound viewpoints.

For this A1 project, our group decided to focus on love because we unanimously believe that this theme can resonate with guests, who can share their thoughts sincerely and comfortably in a relaxed atmosphere. I served in the DA role, and I was happy with the cooperation with my teammates. During the preparation and shooting of the program, we encountered some difficulties. Since it was my first time serving as a DA, I was a bit confused about my position and whether I needed to wear a walkie-talkie. Fortunately, my teammates reminded me in time and helped me find the right position. I think our camera composition was excellent, with each shot perfectly capturing the performance of the hosts and guests. The smooth transitions between shots at the beginning of the program left a deep impression, which I consider a success on our part. In the future, I will pay more attention to fully understanding the workflow before taking on any role and ensuring smooth communication among team members. The team performed excellently in overcoming difficulties, which gives me more confidence in future collaboration. I also plan to spend more time discussing and planning with the team before each program to ensure that we consider all possible challenges in the production process. I firmly believe that through the efforts and close cooperation of the team, we will be able to create more excellent and successful programs, bringing audiences more interesting and meaningful content.
