OBJECTIV
The TV Show ARENA is a famous political TV Show that invites politicians from all parties and all parts of Switzerland. Often the show lacks with visible journalistic structure in the program. And the show faces the problematic to stay focused, interesting and surprising.
If a politician is interesting enough to get invited, he also gets enough time to get organised and to prepare himself. The whole debate is guided therefore the audience doesn't feel a lot of tension.
ACTION
The TV Show aims for more active, structuring, journalistically more noticeable moderation. A bigger opening of the main round for politically relevant figures such as Economy and civil society. The show wants to focus on the discussion and strengthening the experts and the program dramaturgy by new elements that needed to be implemented in design and its studio.
APPROACH
With the Art Director and Set Designer, we created a unique concept with a two-stage set and an editable and individual on-air design for each episode.
As a Project Manager, I focused on a few challenges. The set had to replace the same space the Arena had in the old set. The set had to be launched, build, tested and ready to go On Air during the summer break within only 21 days, which needed me to focus on an extreme project planning time and budget frame. I worked hand in hand with a broadcast technician to ensure the implementation of all needed elements.
