The two shows that had been made where Duel Date and Revulsion.
Duel Date was a spoof comedy dating show where two men fort over a girl
contestant in different rounds that were mock date, questions and a karaoke
with the audients had to pick. Then the winner got to go on a date with the
girl contestant. It was rigged for one of the contestants would win and the
other one would not be suitable for the girl. For the set of the show there was
bright colours for the two corners that the contestant where in. Blue for the
boys and a pink for the girl. There was the logo that was painted in the middle
above the host’s desk. The second show Revulsion was a game show that had six
contestant and five rounds. The rounds where general knowledge, food and drink,
film and TV, quick fire and last the question in the box. At the end of the round
the contestant with the least points had to perform a task that they hated or
where sacred of. When there were two contestants left they had to put their
hand in a box that had question and also live crickets. There was a raised
platform that the tasks were performed on for the loser of the round. It was
put in front of the desks where the contestants and the host were sat. For the
set it had different shades of grey that looked like cobble stone and then had
red hand prints and a tally on the wall to represent a dungeon. On top of the tables there was a black drape to
cover them up.
The things that I did for the pre projection was: the
personnel and the equipment list, the logos, colour schemes, mood board, sound
and music for the first show and helping with the painting and set design. The
personnel and the equipment had on it all of the equipment that was going to use
in the show and the VT that would be need before the show. The personnel list
had all the people that were used in the show and the VT. The logos were made
on Photoshop and there were multiple designs that had images and text themed
with the show. In the end the final logo was picked by the group or had changes
made to it that the group wanted. There was the mood board that was created
before the logo and helped with ideas for them and the set ideas. The colour
schemes help with the set design from having colours and ideas that would be
used for the set design and had influents from the mood board. There was also
the sound effect and the music for the VTs for Duel Date and the karaoke round
that had to be found and then put on to a memory stick to be play in the show.
I also helped out to cut out and paint cardboard harts for the background of
the set and the set itself.
The things that I did for the filming of the show were the
sound and lights and camera operator. For the lighting job I had to operate the
lighting board and change the levels for the set and the actors to be lit up
well enough for the cameras. For the sound I had to play the song for the
karaoke round and make sure that the sound levels where balanced and there was
no feedback like a ringing sound. This did happen in the shop with the sound
being on too loud and the volume having to be turned down and back to the right
level. For the camera operator job I had to get the left side of the table with
mid shots and close ups when there was a tie break. I couldn’t get very many
close ups from the cameras zoom was very slow and would take time to sort out
for the next shot.
The things that I thought went well for the shows were the
set designs. This is because they fitted the theme of the show with the bright
colours and the cardboard harts that were white and pink and the stone effect
on the Revulsion’s set. I also thought the ideas for the show were very
different and this meant the planning for the show would be different. There
was also more commutation with the second show when peppering the set so people
in the group knew what to do and lest people where standing around. This was
also for the live show with the director giving out information to the other
members of the group when filming.
The things that I thought could be improved on for Duel Date
was the per production work being completed more on time. Some of this was from
the director not being around all of the time and the final idea changing a lot.
This would have given the actors more time to learn the script and this would
make it look more smother. I also think
that the time spent on peppering the set was too long and this would have given
more time to rehearse more. The lack of rehearse was another thing that could
have been improved so everyone involved knew what was going on and what would
be happening in the show.
The things that I think that could have been improved for
Revulsion were the time for the set being made again. This is because it had a
last minute decision that the tables didn’t look right by the way there have
been painted and had to be changed with a black drape. This then also lead to a
very short rehearsal that was shorter than the one for the first show. I also thought that the boxes that the
crickets were in could have been improved so the hand hole was smaller. This
would have made it much harder for them to get out before and when the show was
being filmed.
If we redid the shows the jobs that I would pick for them
would be camera operator for the first show. This is because there would have
been more shots that could have been used with the different rounds. This is
because they would move slightly and then there would be more work to more the
camera. For the second show I would have picked the sound and the lights. This
is because there were more chances for sound effect to be used. There is also
the lights with changing them for the challenges that had to be done.
