Studio Production Unit: Initial Thoughts and Ideas

We were given our brief for the term:
- Develop a detailed pitch for a 30 minute pilot show to be recorded live in the studio.
- The best pitch will be given the green light to go into production.
- Ensure your idea is viable for a studio environment: it can take whatever form you want but it must be original.
- It should have two distinct halves; four VT inserts; and a set with costumes and props along with a specially shot title sequence and credits.

For initial thoughts I had no idea what to do; but during a conversation about it with some of the others I suggested a Pictionary-style gameshow as a joke. I then realised this could actually work so I began to think of how I would do it.



The show consists of 2 teams of 3/4 people.

Round 1: Drawing Round

- Alternate back and forth between different members of each team.
- One person walks to the board; picks a random card and draws what's written.
- The drawer's team has 20 seconds to guess what the word is. If they run out of time then it goes to the other team who have just one guess to get it correct.

Round 2: Items Round

- All but one member of each team go out before the show and make something out of everyday objects in either 2D: flat on the ground, or in 3D.
- This is shown in the form of a VT.
- The lone member of the team who didn't participate has to guess what the team created. If incorrect it again goes to the other team whom have a single guess.

Round 3: Audience Round

- The team have to use the audience to make a word, phrase or even a scene from a popular film. E.g. The word 'Titanic' comes up and so they make two audience members recreate the famous scene on the bow of the cruiser.

Or it could be a word like 'Table' and they audience would have to make the shape of a table.
- All but one member participates. The team electing someone to be the guesser.
- 30-45 seconds to guess.


The title for the show is 'Draw Some'. I was thinking of a pun that incorporated the basis of the show into the title so I linked the words 'Draw' and 'Awesome'. It then dawned me after writing it down that it also sounds like a phrase 'Draw. Some' as in a command or a statement to draw something. With that realisation I felt the name was suitable and stuck with it.
