Game Show:
Treatment:
Title – Sounds Of the Ages
Synopsis – Our game show is based on sound; meaning that all of the rounds within our show are based on listening to sound, whether it be guessing the soundtrack to a movie or game, or humming a song that I only heard by one person. At the end of each round there will be a forfeit for the losing team; these will include eating some nasty food or drink, or wearing some ridiculous clothes.
Format – The format will be, one host in the middle behind a desk of some sort, and two teams of guests either side, each team has a captain. There will be three cameras, one focussed on the dos, and the other two focussed on the teams respectively.
Estimated Duration – Our entire show is going to 30 mins, this includes the game show and VT’s and introduction.
Intended Audience – The intended audience for our show is younger people of a similar age to us; 16-18. The reason we are aiming for this age group is because we understand the humour that this age group likes more because we are the same age.
Style – We are choosing to use a similar style to that of ‘Celebrity Juice’ because it is colourful and recognisable.
Rationale – We are doing the show in this way because it is easily relatable for young people, it also provides a sense of freshness to a well known archetype of game show.
Budget – We have little to no budget for this show and we have only used props and equipment that was provided by the college.
Influence:
Celebrity Juice
The reason we have chosen ‘Celebrity Juice’ as our influence is because it is a well known show, known for it’s wacky challenges and entertaining host and guests. Our show is laid out in a similar way to this, as we have a host in the centre and two teams of panellists on either side; each with a team captain. The show will be in a similar running order; having 4 rounds, at the end of each there will be a forfeit made to make the losing team look silly. Our main reason for choosing ‘Celebrity Juice’ is the fact that the point of the show is to make the guests look silly, we have taken this and changed it so that the forfeits are what make them look silly rather than the challenges themselves.
A Question Of Sport
In this show the two teams answer questions as a team but the captain is the only one to answer, this will be the same in our show as it reduces the amount of confusion especially when deciding how to set up the microphones, as its easier to have a microphone central on the team so it can hear everyone, but if thats not possible then it might be the case that we need to have only one person have a mic. In this case it will be easier for that person to be the team captain who answers all of the questions.
