Production diary

Week 1 -

The whole class were all split into small groups and each group were all given one of the rounds for the quiz show to work on. My group's round was celebritys. Each group were responsable for making up questions for the rounds and also creating vt inserts to put into the show.

Week 2 -

Everyone in class had to decide on a name for the quiz show, we came up with alot of ideas for the show but some of them didn't really work well until the whole class decided on calling it "media circus". Also this week me and my group for the celebrity round went into town and brought costumes to dress up as celebritys, so that the contestants would have to guess what celebritys we were.

Week 3 -

This week we were all given roles for pre production. Some people were chosen to be set designers and script writers ect. Me, shaun and Mathew were chosen to be the editors, we were then in charge for getting together ideas for the titles and stings. We then tried to focus the opening titles and the stings into a circus format to go with the show.

Week 4 -

Alot of this week was very hectic because there were people stressing on about the set and the script ect, the main problem was getting the set done in time. There were alot of people who didn't have anything to do, so me and some other people helped the set designers to finish painting the set. At the end of this week the title sequence and all of the stings were all finished and they looked really proffesional.

Week 5 -

Most of this week was rehearsing for the live show, so we all kept practising until we got to the main show. For the first half of the show I was part of the audience and the second half of it I was vision switching. I really enjoyed making the quiz show and had a great time. The live show went fantastic and everyone was happy.
