Studio Production - Production Meeting #8

Moving ever closer to the live show, there were a number of updates given all round in this production, concerning the website, contestants, round 4 changes and VT's amongst other things as well.

The majority of the VT's have been filmed and are ready for a rough cut with the exception of the trivia VT which will be filmed later on with the host. They have taken into account that some things may have to be re-edited or even re-shot and so have plenty of time between now and the show to make these changes if needed.

I had sorted a number of contestants for the auditions however by this point both female applicants had dropped out, meaning I'd have between now and the audition to find somebody to maintain some sort of balance. As well as this, I must now begin the search for a warm-up act with consideration for the budget as last years act was paid. This can be anything from a musician to a magician.

The website for the show is now up, just needs a few more articles to go up to make the website seem more genuine.

Del Brown pointed out that the rehearsals went really well given that we are still in the early stages of the production. However more changes to round 4 were needed and these changes were addressed to the group and will be included in the script in due time. Though the contestants will be competing against one another, they will be competing separately. While one is competing, the other will be backstage and will not be able to hear what's going on. Each competitor will have 2 minutes to complete the game and the winner will be the one who has completed the most boxes. Should both competitors complete the game, it will be decided by who completed it in the fastest time.

Additions to the budget were also made, an extra £5 was to be handed in by everyone.

And finally the prop for round 4 will no longer use boxes and will instead use a lineup of sliding doors from bottom to top. The sliding doors will all be white except for the top door which will be gold, symbolising that this is the final door.
