'As Live' Brief

The Idea
IMPORTANT!!
Your idea should be for an As Live studio production.
It can take the form of whatever you want but you must be original!!
Your idea should be studio based and include the need for a live studio audience.

Your idea should include the need for 3 VT inserts (these are segments that are recorded and edited before the programme and then slotted in)

Your idea should include the need for a set, costumes and props. (These elements will be made by Creative Arts for Film & Theatre students at UCA Rochester)

The idea should include ideas for viral marketing and reaching an audience outside that of the live audience.

When pitching we must include:

The idea

Title

Format (ie As Live, 30 mins)

The Channel / broadcaster / target audience / schedule

Once we have all pitched an idea one will be chosen and the person whos idea it is will automatically become the producer and specific roles will be given out to all of the 2nd years and some of the 1st years.

This year we want the production to take on a bigger scope than the Pub Game did. So we will be looking for students to make:
A proper title sequence,
Compose music
Advertising material
Viral Marketing
And Making of documentary
All to be uploaded to a dedicated website.

Back to Work

So we're back at Uni now and we've got 2 projects this semester, the first is a fiction adaptation piece were we have to choose a poem out of the 5 we have been given and make a 2 minute video which introduces the poem to a new audience. We will have to make this into a series just like we did with the Direction unit where we all have to have the same title sequence. The second project is to produce an "As Live" show, we will each have to pitch our own ideas and then one will be chosen and we will each be given a specific role to play in making the production. I'm really looking forward to this unit as I had so much fun working on the pub game last year. We will also have to produce an essay for both projects answering a relevent question. But for now I've just got to start brainstorming some ideas for both projects.
