RATINGS: IS DOCTOR WHO RIDING FOR A FALL? - Duration: 10:29.
Aaaaaah Doctor Who ratings!
Debacle! Free fall!
Hell and damnation! The show is screwed!
Not screwed! Ruined!
Shame on you, BBC! Shame on you!
Ah! Quite an habit to compare current ratings to
Voyage of the Damned or The Day of the Doctor,
or even to claim wrongly
that they are worse than season 26's,
last season before they cancelled the show in 1989.
So yes, if you compare the 5,29 millions viewers of The Doctor Falls
and the 12,8 millions of Day of the Doctor, it's easy to claim a decline.
But is it relevant?
Why not compare what can be compared?
Are the ratings as awful as we can hear sometimes?
First of all: what are the ratings?
They are used to know if a show is doing well.
It seems logical a program with good ratings is liked
and it brings visibility to the channel and ads.
That's why ads' prices are way higher
when channels broadcast an unifying program,
like the SuperBowl in the USA or Miss France here.
Therefore it's a major indicator for the channels.
It determines the most bankable programs.
Let me explain how the British ratings system works.
They register the habits of 5100 homes, each home representing 5000 other homes.
It gives them approximate ratings;
Let's start with some scores about Doctor Who,
to see if the fall of ratings OF DOOM actually happened.
Let's compare the NewWho series openings, series finales
and Christmas Specials (based on British ratings).
I'm going to use the J+7 ratings, which include the original broadcasts, TV reruns and BBC iPlayer VOD.
Two things from the series openings:
If we put aside Rose, which has a particular status as it get from the return of the show,
ratings between New Earth and The Pilot dropped of 2 millions, approximatively.
Spoiler, Tennant era is constantly a bit higher.
But let stick to this "2 millions".
Other phenomenon,
a rise for Deep Breath.
It seems logical when you compare to Rose and The Eleventh Hour.
New Doctor's introduction episodes make the best opening ratings.
Now, series finales, which aren't influenced by Doctor's departures,
except The Parting of the Ways,
which is at the same level as the lowest series finales.
Here we can clearly see the rise of Tennant's era, and then the drop.
Still around 2 millions, a bit more for The Doctor Falls.
It's even clearer with the Christmas Specials.
Drop of 2 millions viewers from the start to the end,
but almost the double between The Husbands of River Song, lowest Specials ratings,
and Voyage of the Damned, best NewWho ratings.
But still, globally, the drop between 2005 and 2017 is about 2 millions viewers.
Is it because of a lack of quality? Something else?
Spoiler: there are many reasons, and a lack of quality isn't one.
Well, not really, or more accurately, the term isn't right.
It's more an audience's lack of interest.
The audience who claims a lack of quality doesn't find what it likes in the current format of the show.
It's linked to various phenomena,
including a lack of communications around the show and a new targeted audience.
Tennant's era targeted "kids",
Smith's "older kids",
and Capaldi's "older but more solid fandom".
Less mainstream, more down-to-earth, less vigorous.
Potentially not as good for the audience
but great for a better visual quality
or at least more in correlation with the current fictional formats.
Let's be honest, even Tennant's fans add,
most of the time, when they recommend their favourite's era:
"It's a bit kitsch, but you have to hang on! You'll see, you'll finished addict, eventually!"
If the show stays that kitsch, without evolving with its time,
the audience would have dropped way before.
Let's repeat it again:
Doctor Who is based on change.
According to the news about series 11, the BBC sticks to this visual quality policy.
Doctor Who wants to play with the big boys.
Series 9 even tries to use a "to be continued" formula with its two parters.
A way to win the audience's loyalty and to build long term fans,
but which also can discourage the casual audience.
Doctor Who is still watched by many casual viewers, especially on Christmas,
and has to remain accessible for them.
We are constatly on a breach between "to be continued" and independant stories.
Moffat's era installed more continuity than RTS's,
but it probably had a part to play on the ratings from Series 5 to now.
We can't also deny a new turn in our consumption habits.
Young people watch less TV.
BBC IPlayer, yes, but also download, Netflix and other platforms.
But young people are Doctor Who's main target.
(Even if it's a family show)
According to the National Audit Office's report from December 6, 2017,
the average viewer spend 8:46 in front a BBC channel.
It drops to 3:28 for 16 to 34yo viewers.
Our generation watches differently.
We don't watch much TV, yet we watched much more cultural contents.
By the way, thanks for watching this video rather than ITV. Much appreciated.
Subscribe, hit the bell, bro!
So ratings can miss many people who will catch up the show later,
when they are free or when the entire show is binge-watchable.
They could download it or even wait for Netflix to put it on. No rush.
So this rating dropping isn't only about Doctor Who. It's global.
Indeed, it's more important on programs for the youth rather than on your grandparents games and soaps, but it's real.
For example, let's take Twice Upon A Time,
third worst Doctor Who Christmas Special J+7 ratings.
On the day, on December 25, 2017,
the show had a 5,7 millions ratings.
Whereas The Time of the Doctor, on December 25, 2013, did ratings of 7,6 millions.
Quite a dropping.
But besides the number itself, they were both the lead that night.
Twice Upon A Time's audience share was of 29% to 30% for The Time of the Doctor.
Suddenly, the gap doesn't feel so huge.
Let's compare to the BBC other programs.
Twice Upon A Time was the BBC's sixth best ratings that week.
To compare, The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe, in 2012, was seventh
even if it attracted way more viewers.
Now let's compare to an other BBC's emblematic program,
which has regularly tremendous ratings: Eastenders,
best known in the French fandom to be part of the best crossover of the 20th century!
"What the hell am I doing here?"
The show exists since 1985 and still is one of the BBC's biggest program.
On the week of December 25, 1998, Eastenders was first with ratings of 22,14 millions.
On the week of December 25, 2007, Doctor Who did its best NewWho ratings with Voyage of the Damned, being second
after, Eastenders first spot with 14,38 millions viewers.
Do you feel the dropping starting due to the channels multiplication and new medias?
And finally, on the week of December 25, 2017, Eastenders Christmas Special is fifth,
just before Doctor Who,
doubled by other Christmas Specials and New Year's firework, best ratings with only 10,4 millions viewers.
Quite a fall.
One of Doctor Who's advantage over Eastenders is its international audience,
not easy to count but still important.
You know, people like us,
French, Germans, Koreans, Brazilians, even Americans and Canadians.
those fans around the world who don't miss an episode but who don't count in the official BBC ratings.
We matter: we help the show to keep its reputation and are potential goodies targets.
Theses goodies are now less numerous than before, but more original.
There are many books and collectibles.
The main target isn't kids anymore, so they are way fewer toys than before.
The merch seems so sadly empty compared to Tennant and Smith's eras.
It's probably due to communication decisions,
but it lacks of the hype surrounding the shops full of goodies of all types.
Still, we have access to numerous books, some of them quite neat. Nice objects.
And as the current figures are more collectibles than toys,
the BBC clearly targets collectors
and fans who have money to spend on more occasional and rare products
rather than kids, their main target for a long time.
So, if we put together all the elements we developed here,
should we be worried by Doctor Who ratings?
Of course, they fell apart, but so are the other programs'.
They actually stay quite high.
The show even helped to develop new poles at BBC Wales
which received new founds, according to the BBC's Annual Plan for 2017 and 2018,
to boost fictional creations in the Welsh department in order to and I quote:
« build on the success of Doctor Who, Casualty, Hinterland and Sherlock ».
So what? Is it still relevant to compare Doctor Who's current ratings with the old ones?
I personally think it involves to get rid of too many factors to be viable.
When we blame current Doctor Who not to have the same ratings as Tennant's era, so to obviously be not as good,
we put aside consuming habits changes,
new artistic views, new marketing strategy...
Globally, every changes over the last years.
It means we judge the quality of a program to the number of people who watch it.
Then let's apply this to the French 2017 Top 10 most watched programs.
(Basically just sport, politics and music shows)
I remind you France and UK have both quite the same population of 66 millions inhabitants.
First fantasy show is Joséphine Ange Gardien, 5,54 millions viewers,
another proof Mimi Mathy is really the French Doctor.
Good evening, everyone!

I was starting to think I was gonna have to tell...
that nice little girl out in the waiting room...
her daddy's gone.
I'd always hoped...
that I'd get the chance to meet someone like you.
There's so few of you left.
Nice to meet you, too, Doc.
But I really got to get on my way.
No, no, don't do that.
What you need is rest, and treatment.
You need to check yourself in somewhere.
I'll be fine.
No, you're not!
I mean, I know that you're different...
but that doesn't change the fact
that something inside you is poisoning you.
You got to check yourself into a hospital.
Find out what it is!
I know what it is.
Please, mister, if you don't want to go to a hospital,
maybe I can help you.
Maybe I can run some tests.
Look, Doc. You seem like a nice guy, all right?
You wanna save a life, save your own.
Forget we were here.
Let's go.
Hey!
Hey!

Kellyanne Conway Rightfully Punches Man In The Face Outside Event – 'Not Happening Here!' - Duration: 3:37.
Kellyanne Conway Rightfully Punches Man In The Face Outside Event – 'Not Happening
Here!'
If there was any question that President Trump picked the perfect Senior Aide with Kellyanne
Conway, this would be the proof.
Nothing can stop this unapologetic woman including two men twice her size after what she caught
them doing which resulted in one of them getting their face rightfully rearranged.
The days of passivity in the presidency are over now that we have an assertive leader
who hand-select a team of proactive people who do whatever it takes to get things done,
including putting two men in their place while wearing formal attire.
Kellyanne Conaway was in a formal dress when she saw what two men near her were trying
to get away with and brutally ended it on her own with her fist.
While at the black-tie Liberty Ball in Washington, D.C., two men within close proximity to Kellyanne,
caught her attention.
Without a second of hesitation, Trump's right-hand woman jumped in and did what needed
to be done.
The male guests of the event dressed in tuxedoes were taking the class out of the ball when
they went to brawls and started punching each other.
With no other options on how to put an immediate end to their debauchery, Kellyanne jumped
in and allegedly knocked the instigator out, then got back to the celebration as if nothing
happened, Page Six reported.
Fox Business Channel's Charles Gasparino was the shocked witness to the incident who
took to Facebook to describe what he saw Kellyanne do moments after he and a friend were personally
attacked outside the formal event by rabid protesters.
He explained that the whole interaction between the senior aide and the two men lasted just
a few minutes, and nobody was seriously hurt, except perhaps the man's ego who got his
face pummeled by a woman who doesn't pull any punches — literally.
The Daily Mail explains more about what precipitated this fight and unfolded after:
When it became apparent that the two men were not going to stop fighting, Conway stepped
in and punched one of them with a closed fist in the face at least three times, a witness
told the News
There was no word as to what precipitated the fight.
The witness' account was corroborated by a Fox Business Channel reporter who said that
Conway punched the man several times in the face with a closed fist.
The Liberty Ball was one of the inaugural galas held in the capital to celebrate Trump's
taking the oath of office just hours earlier at the US Capitol.
As the fight began to escalate, Conway is said to have stepped in and supposedly threw
"mean punches" at one of the combatants."Inside the ball we see a fight between two guys in
tuxes and then suddenly out of nowhere came Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway who began throwing
some mean punches at one of the guys," Fox Business Channel's Charlie Gasparino wrote
on his Facebook page.
"Whole thing lasted a few mins no one was hurt except maybe the dude she smacked.
Now I know why Trump hired her."
Barack Obama compromised America's status as the greatest and most powerful nation in
the world by his lame duck style of leadership and staff who was more focused on feelings
than on defending freedom.
While this incident between two potentially drunken male party attendees may not seem
significant to some, it proves the exact kind of backbone that's been missing from our
leadership and the hands-on approach to getting things done, and not waiting for others to
do it for you.

C&C Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge - Allied Mission Execute Yuri #2 - Duration: 18:42.
Mission Execute Yuri for Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge
Allied Mission made by the FlyingZ, link to download is below in description or comment
Music - KKnD Soundtrack, Frank Klepacki and Pr0metheusMusic
Custom voxels and shps, color players are added by me from various artists (link to credits in description)
We've finally tracked the Yuri, where he hides in his main base and the big Fortress built in the center of this base complex.
Because this mission is very easy on hard, you might finish it very quickly because AI rarely attacks and you have two nicely developed allies next to you.
Your starting base is also very nicely developed, you have lots of Prism Towers and Patriot Rockets but you need to create the Airfield and Battle Lab without Purifier.
In the northeastern corner of the map there is a Secret Lab that can be infiltrated with a Spy, unfortunately there is no chance or reason to capture it.
The Yuri's attacks will be very weak and rather rare, the best thing they can throw at you are the groups of Floating Disks but you have simply too many Patriots to let them away.
Behind your base there is also a very nice and big ore field that can be exploited by your Chrono Miners a lot, you might also build another Refinery to have more space for unloading.
Not so far away from this ore field to the south are two Oil Derricks, you better capture it first before your allies do it for their own purpose of simply wasting it.
You might also build additional War Factories and simply spam LOTS OF PRISM TANKS THAT IN VANILLA RED ALERT 2 ARE ANTI-EVERYTHING, and their range + damage are really insane.
Head north to the concrete platform where the Tech Machine Shop is placed, destroy all Psychic Towers and Bio Reactors on the way to capture it later with the Engineer.
Attacking the main base might be a little bit harder, the AI reacts to your attacks and simply uses all 4 War Factories at once, try to destroy Magnetrons and Masterminds as soon as possible.
You can try to break through the entry nearby, just destroy the Psychic Towers and roll inside to base focusing on War Factories first, then Construction Yard and Fortress at last.
The mission is accomplished, you can now focus on the execution of Yuri Prime and the rest of his army in the ending cutscene of this mission.

Fashion Portraits with Cellophane - A Great DIY Tool for Your Studio - Duration: 6:55.
In this video I am going to take you behind the scenes with some yellow cellophane, a
beautiful model, a fan, and an amazing makeup artist - stay tuned!
Hey gang!
I'm always on the lookout for things that I can drape around a model, or turn into an
outfit, or place over a light source to change the color of the light, or even turn into
a background.
As a result - I make frequent trips to local fabric stores and arts and craft stores like
Joannes, Michaels and A.C. Moore and I am always digging through the clearance sections
to see what I can make use of without breaking the bank.
On a recent trip to Michaels, I found these bright colored rolls of transparent packaging
wrap for just $4.99 a roll.
These are basically 30" wide by 25 ft long rolls of colored cellophane and at five bucks
a roll that's a steal when you think of all the things you could do with it - including
making your own custom gels for your LEDS, speedlights or studio strobes.
Sometimes when i find stuff like this it immediately gives me an idea for a shot and other times
- I just now it's something I'll find a use for.
In the case of the colored cellophane, I had no idea what I would do with it - but I knew
it would be fun
Sure enough a week later, my makeup artist - came up with this very colorful makeup look
that had lots of different colors and geometric shapes.
Now you frequently hear me talk about the idea of working your shot to make sure that
you haven't missed a potentially great idea.
I've also shared some of my failures to show you how I come up with these shots.
In this case - I honestly had no idea how to shoot this look.
There were so many colors and so much detail, that I was struggling to come up with something
in my head that really got me excited.
When that happens to me - I have learned to just pick an idea - don't second guess myself
and begin shooting - begin shooting knowing that I will work the shot and keep exploring
until it all comes together in a way that excites me.
When my model came on the set for the first shot, I decided to go with this idea of draping
some gold material over her head.
You can see I also draped some gold colored tulle around her neck just to add an additional
texture at the bottom of the frame.
I hated this look.
Then I took a step back and thought maybe I keep it real simple and go with just the
girl and the gold tulle on the bottom.
Boring.
Then I second guessed myself and went back to the shiny gold material draped over her
head and looked for ways to also use the dull side of the material… maybe aiming some
light though it - Nope
The I tried wrapping the material around her head - nah
Then I went all the way back to the beginning and tried to finesse the shiny gold material
draped over her head.
Still not working.
Then I remembered the roll of yellow cellophane and it all came together in my head.
This was a basic clamshell lighting setup using 320ws Interfit Honey Badger strobes
mounted in Medium Sized Photoflex Lite Dome softboxes.
I used the grids on the boxes to keep as much of the light on my subject as possible and
to prevent it from reaching the white background.
I had an additional Honey Badger on the floor in front of the Savage Universal White seamless
paper backdrop to make sure that I had a pure white background.
Once I added the cellophane to the shot I placed a yellow gel on the background strobes
to turn the white background to a bright yellow and then added two more Honey Badgers - one
on each side and aimed back towards my model - also with yellow gels to create the rim
lighting that would accent her face and makeup.
So the finished shot was a total of five 320ws lights.
It is important to understand that you could do this shot with speedlights or pocket flashes.
And if you have enough space you could actually pull this shot off with just three lights.
The shot was made with my Olympus E-M1 Mark II and the M. Zuiko 45mm f/1.2 PRO lens which
is a 90mm full frame equivalent.
The ISO was 200 which is the base ISO for the Mark II and the shutter speed 1/250th
of a second and the aperture was set at f/8 .
I was shooting tethered with the TetherPro cables from Tether Tools and using the Olympus
Capture software to manage the camera and downloads.
For camera support I used a Benro carbon fiber tripod with an Acratech Ballhead mounted on
top.
Now that I had the yellow gels creating a yellow background and yellow rims, I started
by adding a collar of cellophane around my models shoulders.
I left the gold tulle in place to have just a little extra texture.
At this point I know I was onto the right idea, but it still needed more.
Since I am a gluten for punishment - when I am looking for that little something extra
and I am not quite sure what it is - I tend to go for chaos and look for something that
will surprise me.
So I added a fan on the floor behind my model.
I also moved my Digital ala Cart case with my laptop behind the model so that I could
see the shots as they were downloading and I had Monae, my makeup artist - move behind
the camera to coach the model on her expression and head tilts.
The I took a section cellophane that was about six feet long and started letting the fan
blow it around to see what kinds of shapes and textures, I could create just behind the
model.
I am triggering the camera using a Vello wireless remote control.
I did try a few frames without the background lights so that the white background turned
dark gray and while it is cool how dramatic it feels - I still preferred the bright yellow
that you see here in my finished shot.
The final images required very little post production beyond the usual color, contrast
and sharpening and of course removing of blemishes - I say this just as reminder of the importance
of great hair and makeup.
So there you have it.
Sometimes you just have to fake it till you make it.
It's not as hard as it looks unless you allow yourself to be afraid.
Fear of failure is the biggest obstacle to being creative.
You simply have to keep shooting.
Work the shot - try things - even things that seem ridiculous.
Your model will always respect your effort - you will learn lots of new things and your
photography will head in directions that you hadn't previously imagined.
I hope this gives you some ideas, take this idea and run with it - go create and show
me what you come up with.
Until next time, Please hit that thumbs up and subscribe so that you don't miss any
videos and don't keep all this cool stuff to yourself - please share it with your photography
friends.
Remember - photography is not a competition - its a passion to be shared.
Now go pick up that camera and shoot something because your BEST shot - it's your NEXT
shot, so keep learning, keep thinking, keep shooting.
Adios!
