Now that we have confirmed the trends for the Steals of the Season segment, we have completed a first draft of the script. We were unable to complete the drag act section as we are yet to hold the drag act auditions - once we have confirmed a drag act we will write this section ready for version 2.
I wrote the first half of the script and Melissa wrote the second half. We provided each other with feedback on each others' sections to ensure the overall tone of the script was consistent.
I had the difficult task of writing the opening to the show, therefore Melissa and I worked on this bit together. The latest feedback from Helen was to clarify a mission statement at the beginning of the show - to describe what Steal The Style is and what the audience will gain from watching the show. We have attempted to do this by including "Each week we'll be looking at the current trends, heading out to different locations and treating you to a few surprises here and there." This is then followed by the teaser which outlines what is to come in the show - this will then clarify the themes and display to the audience that this is a fashion chat show.
As we want the show to have a very casual feel - with the audience feeling like the presenters are both friends with each other but also with the audience themselves - we wanted to include some conversational, relatable dialogue. e.g. "AD LIB - Presenter talks about their experience of not knowing how to dress and how this trend will help them". The aim of this is to make the dialogue seem less scripted and more natural.
As we are yet to confirm our models, I have left gaps in the dialogue where the presenters will relate the outfit to the model using an example about their job. We wanted our models to be everyday people with everyday jobs and therefore we want the presenters to ask them a couple of questions about their job - but this can't be done until we have confirmed who our models are.
The fashion fails segment is also very vague as we haven't confirmed our contributors for this segment yet. Therefore we have focused on how the presenters will introduce this section - but more will be added when we have more of an idea how this section will pan out.
At the moment, this script is formatted as an AV script - this is incorrect for a studio script, however, we just wanted to plan out the dialogue and the format of the show. Version 2 of the script will be properly formatted into a studio script with more added to the sections which are currently vague. This will also have the visuals filled in by the directors and the timings filled in by the PAs.
