Studio Production Unit: Pre-Production - Behind the Scenes Script Versions 2 and 3

With the new format in place we needed several topics of the show to make videos for; we agreed to the following:

1. VT's

2. Set design

3. Rehearsals and Production

4. Promotions

5. Presenter and Panellists

With clearly defined topics now in place we began to script. This actually took some time: around a week to finish due to the workshops with Hans Petch starting.

Unfortunately I do not have a copy of version 2 as it was updated in the same document. So instead I shall list the changes made between V2 and V3:


- Combined the Set Design and Rehearsals and Productions. This was because they were essentially under the same category and besides footage of Studio Director Andy making the presentation of CATF; the style bible CATF made and footage of the actual set being built: we felt this wouldn't be long enough nor interesting enough as a stand alone video. The set build footage would be put to better use as overlays and short segments in the Production video.

- The Promotions video was removed completely. Originally I intended to film each member of the Promotions team (including myself) to get a story and footage of the marketing side of the show. However due to focussing on the other videos as they were deemed more important and the workshops I never got around to filming anything. I was totally fine with this though as I had doubts whether audiences would be interested in watching how a poster was made or how the vines came about or another aspect of the department. I shot some behind the scenes when Charlie was filming his title sequence but it was on an old camera I had so the footage wouldn't hold up in comparison to the rest of the footage in the other videos. Behind the scenes for my trailer was never thought about either so due to chances being missed and unit work the Promotions video was most likely never going to succeed.

- The original idea for the Presenter and Panellists was for me and Charlie to hang around with Jamie, Rory, Beth and Jordan individually and just film their everyday lives. Showcase who they are as people and to give the audience insight into who they would be watching. Due to unavailabilities though this idea never got off the ground. Instead we changed it so Show Producer Helen, in an interview set up, would talk about each participant: who they are and why they were selected.

Below is a copy of version 3.
