Our show is finally coming together and it's making me so excited/nervous. Today we got so much done, we sorted out everything from the set to the interview!
Set wise we've decided we want something different from the usual living room feel you get with chat shows, we want something that fits well with Channel 4.. Our set designer came up with some great ideas. We decided on a black background with 3 brick covered panels. As we have two presenters we decided to use two armchairs that Phoebe owns for them to sit in, we liked he fact it separated them and showed their clashing personalities, for the interviewee we have a black couch - which we'll add some cushions too to give it some life. We also want a TV monitor between the couch and chairs, helping to join them together to show the connection, it also is a good way to displace the logo of the show and the images we have to display. Under the monitor we have a table with some ornaments including a metal camera and a photo frame containing a cat, while random they fit well with the uniqueness of the two presenters. And that's it really for the set, we wanted it to stay as minimal as possible!
As for the show name I came up with a few suggestions and we chose 'The Alternative Lunch', it may seem quite plain but I like the fact that it says exactly what it is.. If you want something different from everything else then come to watch this! I like the fact our set always reflects the name in keeping with an 'alternative' theme.
Lighting we didn't want to bright and decided on a warm yellow to have on the presenters and interviewee to highlight them, while the background was light with a warm orange to give it a warm, inviting feel.
We even completed the interview script, all that's left to do is sort the demo, while Ambrose is letting us use the instruments he can't bring us them until the day before the shoot and so we won't know how it's set up to be filmed until then, it's daunting to leave it so late, but everything else is going so well I have high hopes for this, I think it's going to go really well!
