Question(s) about NBC's recent live performances

H

HawkeyeST

The following productions on NBC are/were supposedly recorded live:

1. 'The Sound Of Music' remake with Carrie Underwood

2. 'Peter Pan Live' with Christopher Walken as "Captain Hook"

3. 'Undateable Live' (currently in production)

So why do these shows look like they were filmed even though they're live?
 
But how is it possible to 'filmize' a live performance? 'Saturday Night Live' doesn't look filmed (referring to the stage). However, I did notice when NBC most recently aired the episode from the 1970s hosted by Eric Idle that it did look like it was filmed...
 
The goal for most directors and producers is to achieve a "film look" vs. a "live look." It is done by futzing around with the video rate from 29.97 frames (live look) to 24 frames (film look).
 
Modern professional video cameras have all kinds of settings that can deliver particular looks, including "film look." No problem achieving that in a live situation.

And even if not done "live" the film look can be added in the editing process. Modern video editing software also has many "looks" that can modify video.
