Our roles have been allocated. Studio Director as well as the other roles has become a split role due to the amount of Students we have in my year. The role of Director went to myself and George Lock, with the show being split into 2 sections, A and B so we each Direct 15 minutes of the show. However, me and George sat together and agreed that we wouldn't just work on our own sections during the pr-production stage and that we would work as 2 Directors together to plan through the show, work through the camera plans, lighting, graphics. etc and would only divide our responsibilities when it came to actually Directing in the gallery.
Production Meeting #1
In the meeting, our Producers talked us through the pitch they had presented and talked us through the idea of the programme. They explained that this programme will be one to focus on Fashion of all aspects and not just mainstream. They want this programme to cater for all budgets so not just looking into big name brands but also looking into small independent high street stores. The show has 4 topics and each will include a VT. The ideas they've already had is:
1) Trends of the Week - Looking into popular Fashion trends each week. The VT would round off the section by looking into the trends for the best price for that week
2) Not on the High Street - This section would look into independent clothes store owners and get them into the studio for an interview to discuss the clothes they make which aren't on the High street Fashion. The VT hadn't been written here but we brain stormed and thought of maybe a small intro VT explaining who the owner of the store is and looking around their store.
3) Vintage Markets: This section was focused on the VT and explained that the idea would be to go to a Vintage Market and create an outfit from what was found there OR choose 5 items from there and create an outfit.
4) Wardrobe Dig: This section, we would have a guest in the show and we would go through their wardrobe. Producers explained that they would maybe want a Vlogger, or someone with a quirky personality.
In their pitch, they did have a on going part of the show with was their "Hot or Not" board. This would end each section of the show by choosing if the outfits or trends discussed were 'Hot or Not" with the help of the audience. However, they told us that in their pitch, one of the main forms of feedback was to cut this part of the show as some of the panellists didn't agree or like this part.
With regards to the graphics, the Producers wanted the colour scheme from their pitch to stay the same, so light reds, peach and white colours but they agreed that although they like the graphics, they want to develop them more. They also talked about the presenters for this show, they wanted a Female and Male Presenter, so we've got the balance of Male and Female opinion to Fashion. They said they would ideally have one of the Presenters as a Fashion expert of some kind and then the other as the bubbly personality. Their examples were Gok Wan for the Expert and Georgia Toffolo as the personality.
Finally, we were told that this programme is aimed towards E4 and would be on weekdays at 7pm. So it's pre-watershed and also needs to stand out of the ordanary.
TO DO:
We've been asked to research into Fashion, read some magazines, watch programmes, look into upcoming styles and begin to brain storm more sections for the show. Although, the Producers have a structure, they want more ideas so we can get a full 30 minutes structure. We also need to research into our own roles.
