'AS LIVE' PRODUCTION: Script Version 2

Following feedback from Helen and development in our segments, we have put together an updated version of the script. As with the first draft, I did the first half of the script and Melissa did the second half of the script, but we both looked over the whole script to ensure the tone remained consistent.



- Now that we have cast our presenters we have added in their names.

- The last script did not include visuals, however, in this version the visuals have been included. Myself and Melissa wrote the dialogue before passing the script to the directors to fill in the visuals and the PAs to fill in the duration according to their running order. We used the running order to establish how much to script for each segment to ensure our script fit in the 30 minute time slot.

- I have developed the introduction so that there is more of a mission statement - "the show that helps you take current fashion trends and style them in different and original ways". The whole premise of our show is to show the audience how they can dress on trend yet stand out from the crowd.

- I have developed the teaser dialogue so that there is a clearer idea for the audience of what is coming up in the show. I have also attempted to link the teaser dialogue together to ensure it flows.

- For the Steals of the Season segment Helen suggested that the dialogue was too formal and not engaging enough. To add humour and a more conversational stance to the section it was suggested that we add in some examples e.g. "Now, were not going to style you like the Bay City Rollers, don't worry". This is because when people think of plaid, a common thought is the iconic look of the Bay City Rollers.

- Helen also suggested that we add more style advice to the pastel colours trend. Tell the audience what pastel colours they should be wearing and why. In my research I had looked into which pastel colours suited which skin tones but didn't think to include this in the initial draft on the script. However, as this is a fashion chat show aiming at providing the audience with style advice, more information should be given to the audience as to why they should wear certain items in certain ways - therefore I have now changed the script to include which pastel colours suit which skin tone.

- As we haven't received all the information about the models yet, I have left gaps where the presenter will give a little bit of background information about the models. We want the models to be normal, everyday people so that the audience can relate to them and feel like they can also wear the trends they're displaying - therefore it is important to include this information about what the models do day to day and what their opinion is on the trend.

- I have made the link between the presenter challenge review and fashion fails clearer - "speaking of fashion fails, have you ever been a victim of one". This helps the programme to flow cleanly from one segment to another.

- Until we have our contributors sorted for the fashion fails segment, I can not properly script it. I have written a couple of examples of what the presenters may say but this is subject to change once we do have our contributors.

- The rest of the script was written by Melissa. The main feedback we had to incorporate in this version of the script was to make it more conversational and engaging.

- The questions in the independent seller interview have been refined now that we have our contributor. Before the questions were vague but now we can begin to tailor the questions more towards Bonnie and her reasons behind making her own clothes.

- We have also now confirmed a drag act so the script has been adapted to include this.
