Studio Production Ideas

Idea 1 - Party Mania: 



What if children's party games were played by adults? 

Types of games: 
  • musical chairs - have to wear rubber rings? or really big chairs and really small chairs
  • pass the parcel - have to wear mitten to make it difficult to open 
  • musical statues - wear platforms or have to balance on wobbly boards? 
  • Blindman's Bluff 
  • Simon says 
  • Chinese whispers - we are headphones so they cant really hear properly? 
  • slang shirts - make a shirt that has all the 70s slang terms - who ever has the most words is the winner or pens could be really small or really big 
  • twister - wear flippers to make it difficult? 
  • pet rock contest - 40 second to make one? 
  • karaoke? - maybe… 
Layout of series:
  • each episode there are different contestants 
  • the presenter will also be the judge (audience as well for some of the games) 
  • there will be a certain amount of time to each game - varying from 40 seconds to 3/4 minutes each game (6 to 7 games can be played) -  (if VTs are a minutes) 
  • each game - who ever the winner is gets a point
  • should they be in groups or on their own? 
  • Target Audience - 28> 
  • age of players - 40s-50s 
  • the winner will win a prize - a meal for two at a restaurant or a gift voucher…

Idea 2 - "Artsy Pants" 



Contests will compete against each other to produce the best painting/drawing, where each episode/round will have a certain theme or material that has o be used. 

Types of materials/themes: 
  • paint 
  • oil paint 
  • acrylic 
  • airbrush 
  • chalk 
  • crayon 
  • ink 
  • oil paint 
  • stencil 
  • spray paint 
  • charcoal 
  • graphite sticks 
Round:
  • have to use a certain colour palette 
  • abstract work 
  • graffiti 
  • finger painting 
  • canvas 
  • sheet or cloth 
  • crepe paper 
Layout of series :
  • the artists are only given a certain amount of time to complete each round (maybe 5 minutes for 3-4 rounds) 
  • each round will have a winner (maybe paintings can be rated from 1-10 and who ever has the most points by the end of the episode is the winner) 
  • either there can be the presenter and 2-3 judges (experts or professionals in art) or just the presenter who is the judge as well, along with the audience 
  • contestants - ages 20> BUT should they be professionals who know how to draw or should it be non-artists to make it more comedy based 
  • target audience - 28>

Now or Never (2011) - A short film about family relationships

-
Image
Vivandy Productions  Director: Vivandy and F.C Rabbath  Written and Produced: F.C. Rabbath Synopsis: Its about 3 generations of women; the grandmother, mother and daughter. The same story is being repeated between grandmother and mother as well as mother and daughter. Each mother is trying to reconnect with her daughter; both being unsuccessful. What intrigued me:  Showing the mother getting prepared (I'm planning on doing something like that for my video)  portrayal of family drifting (arguing about being too busy for each other)  when she opens the bathroom cupboard when she's young and closes it when she's old (i like the technique it uses to show time passing)  having the same conversation with her daughter as she did with her mother  the way we are shown that there is an issue (phone call from doctor)  VO flashback to the same line she said her mother 'You're being selfish' = realisation the ending:

Evaluation

Writing the final versions of the script was fun, exciting but also a long process. Having a clear idea of what directions my episodes where going I wrote skeleton drafts to begin with and worked like that. With each new draft,  added new jokes, stories lines. With guidance from Simon and his suggestions for certain characters I did make a few changes to some story lines and slightly changed my characters personality. In the first few drafts of each episode Hara was becoming somewhat annoying and lacked a lot of humour. Therefore I decided to make her into a bit of a spiritual person who gives herself a pep talk in each episode but also one of those people who believes in positive thinking and constantly carries a positive thinking book with her, sage and incense.  Kotchy, didn't have much of a story, if you got rid of him you wouldn't even notice. Therefore I made him so that each time his family does something humiliating he captures it on camera or Sebastian does and he

Family: Family is very important in Greek society; either by blood or even marriage - when a relative marries someone that person becomes your koumbaro (for men) or koumbara (for women). Also, businesses are usually family run.  Food:  One of the most important things in Greek culture; famous Mediterranean food. Greek love to use fresh ingredients such as garlic, onions, fennel, zucchini, grapes, dates, figs and herbs (dill, mint and oregano). Meat is also a very important part of their diet; every Sunday families gather together for Souvla (basically a barbecue)  Food in tavernas are usually meze based meaning a variety of small portions of different types of food is served (usually over 20 different dishes) or there is also the famous Ouzeri where you are brought typically light food such as greek sasuges (pastourma) and halloumi to eat as you drink Ouzo.  Typical Greek Cypriot food:  tzantziki octopus dolmades (which is grape leaves filled with rice and beef
