| + | <pick>'''Talent show''' - Type of variety show where a panel of judges and/or the audience decide who is the most talented performer. The contestants come from the general public or semi-professional performers, so the entertainment value lies in seeing seemingly ordinary people being transformed into television stars... if only for 15 minutes.</pick> | ||

| + | <pick>'''Think music''' - A piece of music played while the contestants think about their answer. It is necessary because silence for any significant length of time (known as “dead air”) can be very alienating to the viewer. In the end game of Jeopardy, a 30-second piece of think music is played while the answers are written down.</pick> | ||
| + | <pick>'''Tiebreaker''' - A question designed to bring the game to a conclusion when two or more contestants have the same score.</pick> | ||
| + | <pick>'''Timeslot''' - The time of day in which a programme is transmitted by a broadcaster. It will dictate the target audience and tone of the show. Usually timeslots come in lengths of 30 and 60 minutes, and less frequently 45 and 90 minutes. Hence, if your format requires an unusual timeslot it is more difficult to commission and sell abroad.</pick> | ||
| + | <pick>'''Titles''' - The opening sequence that introduces a programme, usually containing computer graphics, film footage and/or programme clips. They are important in retaining an audience's retention since many people decide whether to change channels while the titles are running. Sometimes large proportions (up to 20%) of the overall programme budget is spent on them.</pick> | ||

As well as the basic rules of the game, the TV format could include in-depth production knowledge (detailed in the production bible), set designs, music, graphics, video tapes and computer software.</pick> | ||
