TV Project Week 2

On the second week we where placed in to 2 groups of around ten and got to rewriting the script, blocking a very rough version of our show and looking for actors.

My group worked very well with each other and we where able to do a number of things on our first day. We decided to come in a day early, so on monday we started by planning out on what we should get out of the way first. Two people in my group went to work on the script and the rest of us focused on the adverts we needed to do. Creating the adverts was not as hard as i thought it would be as we only needed to come up with futuristic themed adds so we had one where smoking is good for you and another where adds spring up in everyday life unwanted.

As well as coming up with adverts we also spent half a day in the studio blocking out where our presenters where going to be at what point in the script. this took a while as we where still working on the script and where using a rough draft just to get a feel for things. We also spent a good amount of time researching what our presenters where going to talk to our guests about, we looked at what point in time we should be talking to them about and what works of andy warhol to show them.

When it came to the friday we had finished our script, filmed our adverts and where getting ready for the next week. We where making sure that actors could be there on the days they where needed and just getting content ready for the show like for example having a power point playing on one of the screens showing off andy warhols works.

Overall it was a very productive week and we got a lot done in preparation for filming which will be on wednesday and thursday so we have two days to see how it goes with the other group first.

The TV project

In the first week of the TV Project we where told we where to create two shows with the theme of a time travel arts show. The show had to be done live and had to have a dramatised problem happen at the end with the time machine breaking down.

Once we where told the outline of what we where going to do within the next three weeks we where split off in to random groups and started to generate ideas. In my group we had ideas ranging from a never ending loop to meeting famous dead people and and as we where coming up with these ideas we wrote the good ones down in preparation for a pitch at the end of the day.

The two ideas which where chosen at the pitch where the ones about jack the ripper going though time and having a andy warhol/time zombie themed show.
