- Finding talent
- Showreels - need to meet face-to-face as well
- Auditions - open or closed / may find undiscovered talent / put them in a difficult scenario
- Agents - more than likely going to cost money
- Scouting - may be cheaper / opportunity to find new talent / time consuming
- Talent websites, e.g. Mandy
- Dealing with talent
- Introduce yourself and explain your requirements
- Check availability - find out what else they are working on / potential scheduling clashes
- Make sure you are clear about the terms and conditions of the deal you are doing - hours/days, rate of pay, expenses, consider setting a flat fee or limits
- Contracts and release forms are essential - should be done in advance of VTs/rehearsals etc.
- Finding contributors
- Appeals/adverts
- Sourcing and contacting relevant organisations and parties
- Contacts
- Press offices/media liaison
- Must be cast as with any other talent
- Finding audiences
- Passive/active/representative/supportive
- Open advert
- Targeted advertising
- Piggy back on existing networks e.g. UCA Twitter
- Social media
- Targeted calls/research
- Representing the audience
- Audiences in the show should reflect the audience at home
- On many programmes they are individually cast
- Accuracy
- Keep records throughout the production process
- Essential that all information is accurate and checked - spelling etc.
- Ofcom broadcasting code...
- Scheduling and organising talent, contributors and audience
- Carefully negotiate how much time and commitment we require and the amount they are prepared to give
- Some talent may be needed for post production
- Departments should seek to minimise the amount of time that talent is required
Production Design
- 'Creatives' are often freelance
- The production team will work alongside the freelancers, commissioning the work they require and taking the lead on decisions
- Look at their previous work
- Brief the creatives on exactly what the producers want
- Important considerations
- No glare or shiny surfaces
- Background should not overpower the contributors
- Shadows
- Copyright
- Framing
- The audience
Production Meeting
- Music influence on fashion - recreating bold fashion statements - dress to the era
- History behind outfits - Churchill onesie / siren suit
- Independent stores - undiscovered gems -
- Dress the presenter - £30 budget to buy the other presenter an outfit (bonus points for going under budget / minus points for going over) - bargain hunt style - VT of shopping for clothes, then outfit is revealed in the studio
