Abstract

This paper analyses the spatial and aesthetic use of a live studio audience as an element of design in celebrity chat shows. It establishes an aesthetic framework of un-scripted television formats using Richard Levin’s 1961 book Television by Design , identifying abstraction and stylisation as fundamental to shaping the audience and performance spaces of contemporary chat show formats. With close analysis of Wogan (1983-1991) and The Graham Norton Show (2007-2026), the categories of space, the inclusion of a studio audience, their performative functions, and their live aesthetics are established as an integral element to the design of the show format in an era of fragmented, on-demand content.

在演播室现场观众面前：名人访谈节目的制作设计和现场直播

本文分析了演播室现场观众作为名人访谈节目设计元素的空间和美学运用。它利用理查德·莱文1961年出版的《设计电视》一书，建立了一种无剧本电视形式的美学框架，将抽象和程式化确定为塑造当代谈话节目形式的观众和表演空间的基础。通过对Wogan（1983-1991）和The Graham Norton Show（2007-2026）的深入分析，我们发现在这个碎片化、点播内容的时代，空间的分类、演播室观众的包含、它们的表演功能和它们的现场美学被确立为节目形式设计的一个不可或缺的元素。
