'AS LIVE' PRODUCTION: Cue Cards

As we do not have an auto cue for the presenters, we made cue cards for the sections where there is a lot of information to remember. The presenters had just been working off the scripts but for the last rehearsal we gave them the cue cards to see how they coped using these.

The rehearsals went well but the presenters had some changes for the cue cards. This involved removing some bits of information that they didn't feel were needed and adding cue cards with information they felt they couldn't remember off by heart. For example, Alfie wanted some of the Old To New section on cue cards as he felt this was too much to learn off the script - we will make this for him so that he can use this for the information he requires.

The slide show below shows the corrections the presenters wanted made to the cue cards:




We made these changes and printed off new cue cards which the presenters will use for the live show.  The majority of the cue cards are for the Styles of the Season section and the interview sections. This is due to there being a lot of information to remember for the Styles of the Season section and there being a lot of questions to remember for the interviews. We also wanted to ensure the presenters didn't run out of questions for the interviews so we also included some safety questions that they could use if these sections were running under time.

These are the updated cue cards for Adeline:

We printed out these cue cards and stuck them on the cards we got printed professionally. The design for the cue cards was our logo on a peach coloured background. We wanted to ensure the cue cards matched with the other graphics used in the show, therefore we picked the background colour from the same colour group as the logo to maintain the orange tone. The design of the cue cards is very simple which gives it a clean, professional look whilst ensuring that they do not distract the audience from the show too much.
