'AS LIVE' PRODUCTION: 1-2-1 Ideas Tutorial & Final Idea

Today Katie and myself had a 1-2-1 with Helen to decide on who's idea we were going to use. I struggled to find a final structure for my comedy show and for it to take up 30 minutes while being interesting and funny so we thought it would be wise to go with Katie's idea because she had more ideas. Katie's idea included a fashion chat show. This is something which interests me also so I am happy to work on this idea. 

Ideas from 1-2-1

reality or chat show?

look into youtube and whats on there

how are they doing what they are doing

makeover segment?

VT section - wardrobes

fashion magazines

what are we doing? get heads around

body image / lack of budget 

can’t be taken over by robots - interested in those people as well as the story

different materials for fashion

why are youtube people doing well? what is on there channel

do something different - don’t all look like the same person

we are not the Kardashians / anti 

niche for being the opposite / be the moment

when you get older you change / show people just as they are / real faces

look at the world to make a programme - need to know what we want 

whats missing / whats the next big thing

style through the ages

this programme - reason to exist / reason to be

why did the clothes show go? what happened in 2000? became about reality tv? no, it turned to home show, Home in 2009 

magazines are going down because online? is that a thought because we are going online? what are we doing in the half hour that 2 minute tutorials can’t?

what does the studio do? what are we learning?

reason to listen and watch / why?

why isn’t there something already there

something around style / open up to other styles? homes, gardens, lifestyle, fitness, food

item about my oldest and favourite thing, e.g. earrings from 30 years ago, still wear them

daughters and mums? young sons 

fashion disasters 

look at formatting VT on link on email

hugge - Swedish thing 

not just ‘what not to wear’

like watching people on television

normal people with normal clothes / budget

designer and then Primark route and now back to designer

colours go through fashion / “it’s the new black”

not on the high street website / rise of the micro brand

work on working title and pitch

all silver, all gold? big jewellery, small jewellery?

To follow on from this brainstorm of ideas, Katie and myself have both decided to research our own parts and try to narrow down a couple of ideas to feature in the programme, before we meet up next week. 

The ideas that I am wanting to push forward are looking into micro brands and small shops and shop owners, and using normal people with normal budgets rather than the current/old fashion shows which usually feature celebrities.
