As Live Production - Researching for the 'Pitch'

-
We have about a week left before our pitch and I started to do some research on how to present our pitch since I and Callum had different ideas we decided to merge them together. I wanted to create more of a Family Show that is focused on family drama, this then evolved into Callum's idea of 'Room for two' where we not only had families on the show but different kinds of relationships. I then started to think of games that these people could play, such as the 'Paper Dress'.

This is our work in progress presentation we have started!



Breakdown of the show:

We aim to have 5 rounds of fun interactive games that test different parts of relationships, like communication skills, patience.
Incase the contestants draw we have a deadlock game set up.
Tester - toilet role game (interact!) - have a music bed 30 sec

'Paper Dress' is a game I thought of with Callum where the participants create a wedding dress out of toilet paper within 1-2 minutes.

25-word pitch: A game to test different kinds of relationship, played with different trivia games. Targeted towards an age range of 18-65 since the show could have anyone on.

We want to make sure that both of our ideas get included in the final pitch and I think every aspect is getting included. Callum had a great idea of evolving my family drama into testing all different relationships not just 'Family' but boyfriend/girlfriend etc.

Our age range is pretty large and wide, this is because we want to include all different people on the show and truthfully I didn't want to have an age range at all, but I wasn't sure if that was possible. We feel like this age range feels right and would appeal to our show.

Broadcasted? 

We also feel like the show would be broadcasted on ITV as it is a mix between 'Mr&Mrs' 'Take me out' and 'The Chase' it feels right to be on ITV around 6/7pm prime time, this is because we want families and working adults to watch it together after work.  I really didn't want the show to feel like your typical 'Ex on the beach' ITV show, I wanted to make sure that it was different and would attract audiences all around.

 VT's 

We are thinking of having 2/3 VT's and then using 1/2 VT's for an opening teaser or one of the games being teased. This would really get the viewer engaged and interested! We are still not 100% of what the VT's will include as we have not decided on all of the games yet.

Should it be commissioned?

Even though it is sort of a gameshow it is VERY different to what is on TV currently, it's much more fun and doesn't use the same social media celebrities. We would be using ordinary people that viewers can relate to and connect with. We feel like there is a huge gap in the market for such a show since 'Mr & Mrs'. The audience can also engage with the production and that hasn't been done for some time now!

Style & Tone 

Relaxed tone - Doesn’t feel pressured or scripted.
Family orientated - Friendly and Fun, feels traditional but still holds a modern element which gives its edge.
It’s bright and colorful - Attracts our viewers, bright colour spells really makes the viewer remember the show.

Fiction Adaptation - Trespass - John Clare research

-
Image
While coming up with my proposal i really wanted to discover more about John Clare. John was born in 1793 and was a very famous poet, he was born as the son of a farm labourer and did not have much money. Many individuals state that Clare is 'the greatest labouring class poet that England has ever produced' since he came from a very poor background. While reading up on his background it was very hard, he had a troubled childhood and was also sent to an asylum where he had written most of his poems. I chose the Trespass poem due to me really having a strong connection to it. I feel as John Clare felt a lot of loneliness and pain during the time that this poem was written. The sonnet has rhyming couplets and seems less angry even though it is in-fact very sad. Clare really felt despair and pain while this poem was written. Clare was born into a middle class family and felt as he wanted to express these feelings within his other poems. I couldn't really find any informati...

As Live Production - TX and Final Rehersal

Today was the day we were all preparing for! 'Steal the Style' went live! Everything egan shart at 9:00am, since the lighting and set team had to come in early to get started. Most of the work had to be completed way before the transmission hour which was 14:00. First thing me and George got to doing is setting up talkbacks and giving them out, these have an effective communication between everyone within the gallery and floor. Everyone was set and ready to go with final rehersals that started first thing in the morning, during these rehersals we were feeling confident. We were hitting our 30 minute mark and nothing had gone wrong. Everyone was ready our presenters, contributors, models, techs, first years etc. Both me and George had to make sure that all camer ops recieve a talkback and each one of us (Me, George, Jack) as the floor managers. We had a spare talkback which was given to Harvey Amiees sound assistant. We had one talkback that was broken and couldn...

As Live Production - First look into Studio Production (workshop)

Today we had a very exciting workshop with Del, it was our first go at working in a real Studio Production atmosphere. We all had a go at different jobs such as Floor Managin, Sound, Directing, VT, Talent etc. We also had a go at playing around in the gallery and seeing what it takes to be a vocal Director. We all had a go and realised that when we go live all of us tone our voices down and really start to focus very strongly on what to say and what shot to play live. I had so much fun during this workshop but found out that most of the jobs are very difficult! Escpecially my own, being a floor manager comes with many different responsibilities. I realised that i had to really nail my 'Floor Manager' hand signals. I also found it difficult to manage the talent, Del told me that i had to be nexto each camera when live so that the talent can look at you and the correct camera. Me and George both decided to take care of one talent each - i would be in charge of Adeline and Georg...
