The television screen is everywhere in our lives. It is the most important aid to modern business. We use the screen for home entertainment, computer use, i-pad and even on our mobile phones, but most of us who watch television, have very little idea as to how our favourite television programmes, adverts or other important communications are actually produced. Well, this is your chance to step inside where the magic happens and experience it for yourself!
This fun filled day out the office is a true insight to how television programmes are made, and a great environment to spend a day with colleagues in order to achieve a common goal. It’s 100% down to you and your team! Your challenge is to produce and record two television programme sequences successfully:
Filming:
Based on a similar format to the popular quiz ‘Have I Got News for You’, where the presenter opens an envelope of questions live on air, and two teams battle it out, in a head-to-head competition, to correctly answer the questions for points…sound easy? That’s only a tiny piece of the jigsaw! While all of that is going on in front of the cameras, the rest of the group will take on crucial roles behind the scenes, which include the Director, Technical Crew, Sound Mixers, Camera Operators, Floor Manager and Visual Mixers, and during the day everyone will rotate and have a bash at each position.
Will you be running around the studio like headless chickens with the responsibility and shame of an axed show on your hands, or work together to create the next big thing and challenge Jonathan Ross for his Friday Night slot?
Shopping Channel Slot
“On air in 5, 4, 3, …, …” this task will not only challenge your team to operate the technical equipment in the studio, but will also test your team’s ability to successfully sell a selection of products ranging from wigs to jewellery, live on air, through the medium of TV.
