TV news: Final idea

Eventually, we decided to go with Ollie's idea, which was looking into youth theatres, and the struggles of running those, and why young people should get involved with the performing arts, with some elements of Will's idea mixed into it. 

We chose to do this because it seemed that this would be the best topic to do as it's more relatable to the public.

Our plan is to film the live section of our show at the Hazlitt Theatre in Maidstone, as we all feel that this will make a better link to the topic of the show. At the Hazlitt theatre, we will also be filming some interviews with the actors in the youth club there, as they will be an extremely good source of information. We will be filming the package at either the Electric Palace cinema in Hastings, or Fort Luton, Chatham, due to there being a play on there in a few weeks. We have gotten in contact with all three of these locations, and are waiting to hear back from them. 

We didn't decide to go with my idea about now leopards being taken off of the endangered list because, despite it also being a significant story and one that is worth telling, but we don't have time to include it, and it doesn't mix well with the two ideas that me and Ollie have come up with. It is a good contingency plan, and will be good to fall back on if one of our ideas falls through.

Communication is going to be a key factor during this topic, as we will need to keep up to date with the people and places that we will be shooting at. if any of these fall through,

This was the idea that I thought of. A chat show, but the guests do activities, similar to graham norton or Ellen degeners  First half could be getting to know the guests, some stories that they have ( either embarrassing or saucy etc ) Have some general chat between the guests, of which there are two or three. Not as scripted as it needs to feel like a natural conversation  Second half is the guests doing some activities, such as CAH, or similar to Norman VT from last years project. Have two or three different activities  End with scores, winner gets a prize, loser(s) have to do a forfeit. My partner had the idea to have a talent show for the disabled, so we decided to combine the two and have a chat show that focuses on the mentally or physically disabled, and ...
