3rd Year Production Unit: Helping on another shoot part 3

I have also been able to help a different group on one of their shoots. The location was set in a school in Chatham, so was very easy for me to get to, which is the main reason why I offered my help. I asked the group if I needed to bring anything with me, and they said that I needed to look like I was a sixth form student, so I brought a suit to change into, plus a bag with a few books in it. 

I knew that I was only going to be used as an extra, but when I got to the location, I found out that I was only going to be walking along a corridor and sitting in a classroom. I was going to be doing this along with a few other people. This was to make it seem that there were more students than there were, as the shoot day was during half term. 

 The other actors that were at the location were really friendly and we all got on well. I had also helped the group out before on another project, so we worked well together. This project is something to do with mental health, and how it can affect people, both directly and indirectly. 

The shoot went really well, and after the corridor scene and the classroom scene was finished, me and the other extras were able to leave. I was only there for about 2 hours, but enjoyed the shoot a lot. From what I saw, the group has a very good plan for their shoot, and how it is going to look when they come to edit it.

Live Studio Production: Ideas

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 ...
