LO1: [G] Reece Sheet

Below is the reece sheet created as planning for our filming our segement of the show. No names were listed under 'Present' as, although Matt and I knew that we would be present for filming, we were unsure as to if any other production team member for Game's Corner would be with us on the project.

LO1: [F] Daily Shooting Schedule

LO1 - Production Schedules Over 6 Weeks

Date Correction: 10/11 to 14/11

LO1 - Set Design

Below is an image of the basic floor plan. This is the position of the  studio venue, located in Studio 2.

Below are photos of the (original) Games Corner set created in Studio 2.

For our competition segment we will use studio 2 to film the prizes sections. This will mean us using the chairs and tables and possible the white walls as backdrops if we need to film something big for example a T-shirt.

LO1 - Research

For our section we needed an announcement of the questions/answers which required some form of graphic. We thought we could follow a similar style to  the format used on the TV quiz show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", so we tried to follow it as an example of inspiration.

LO1 - Segment Storyboard

Below is the storyboard created to help plan the visual concepts that would be created/used for the completed viewer competition segment.

LO1 - Full Episode Storyboard

Below are evidence photos of a planned storyboard for Game's Corner, created by those responcible for filming based upon the arranged set and initial script ideas. This is not for our segemnt of the show but instead covers over sections.

LO1 - Treatment (Budget Included)

Brief

The production of a new TV series about video games called 'Games Corner' for Sheffield Live!. This will be made from pre-production material recorded indoors. This project will be created in groups with our team organising the show's competition section.

Target Audience

Games Corner will be aimed at those who have a interest for video games as a target audience, which will be made of people who enjoy playing games, creating games, making designs for games, etc. This can also include all sub-cultures of the gaming society.

People who who want to be involved in the show or gamers who would like the video game prizes on offer will be the target audience for the the competition sections, with some of the prizes possibly relating to the quiz questions.

Segment Synopsis and How it Relates to the Brief

The competition section is a part of the show that allows the viewers to directly engage with the show by answering a question and possibly winning a prize. This is pre-production material that will be filmed and created on the set.

This relates to the brief as it is section of the show that is relevant to games by having games related questions as part of a games related show relating to the brief.

Key Milestones

We must have prepared some footage for the final week of October.

Equipment

- Camera (DSLR)

- Tripod

- Set

- Script

- Clothing (for presenters)

- Make up (for presenters)

Props and Models

- Chairs 

- Equipment

- Presenters?

- Studio (other displays will be provided by the members handling set design)

Health and Safety Considerations

For this project we need to take into consideration the health and safety of those on stage when filming the content when they are presenting and walking about. The following hazards would be of concern:

- Tripping hazard: Resolution - Have a plan for the movement of the presenters. Make sure step are suitably placed. Make sure the set is safe/stable. No loose cables and wires across set, must be tapped down to floor.

- Breaking Equipment: Resolution - Make sure cables are placed suitably and equipment is handled with caution.

Legal and Ethical Considerations

During the production we need to take into consideration the content of the show, so the script needs to be fully checked to make sure all lines are suitable and do not offend any one of any race, gender etc. Also the questions spoken by the presenter need to be checked to as part of the script to make sure they are relevant to the audience and are not offensive not anyone of race, culture gender etc.

Also all content that references video game needs to be correctly reference to make sure there is no copyright infringement/ laws broken. This will be vital during production as it is about video games which will all be licensed material.

Structure

* Reviews and debates for cars occur throughout the show, but other features, such as celebrity guest challenges and Presenters filmed adventures, appear throughout to change the tone and keep viewers interest, as viewers would lose interest if it showed all other segments first or just focused on the car debates and reviews for the entirety of the show.
