Tv Show- developments

Once the group had concluded the structure and ideas for our show, we all started taking on roles so that everyone had something to do. To begin with I started researching into costumes and what we would have to get for our actors. I also helped with advertising for actors on various websites. The second week of the TV project enabled us to be in the studio and get more of an idea of how our show would look. This also highlighted to us areas of our show that needed to be worked on. 

Sketch of studio 

After being in the studio and blocking through the script, we concluded that we needed to change some areas of our show. I think the main changes that had to be made was to the script. We needed the questions asked to our guests to be related to Andy Warhol more, seeing as our show was focused on his work. I took on the role of rewriting the questions, I also done a lot of research into past interviews of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis so that the actors responses were realistic and relevant to the show.

Jack: “This week we will be stepping back in time focusing on the wondrous Andy Warhol and his artwork.”

Natalie: “But before that it’s time for us to visit a much simpler time when One Direction was still popular (I know Unbelievable!) and the leader was still human! I am of course talking about the year 2013 where we review the latest work from Clio Barnard and his film, The Selfish Giant.”

(* CUT TO VT OF IMOGEN AND HER INTERVIEW *)

Jack: “Oh err (* hesitate *) wasn’t expecting that guess people weren’t censored in 2013.”

Natalie: “Staying in 2013 we are now thrilled to welcome an exciting guest, straight from Ravensbourne, a Design College in South London. This special guest was an anticipated star of tomorrow. Please welcome *** *** ***”

(* STUDENT TO ENTER *)

Natalie: “Thank you so much for coming on the show….”

Q1. Tell me a bit about your work

Q2. What is it that drew you to this style?

Q3. Who do you take your inspiration from?

Q4. Drawing from the past, whom would you like to be as big as?

Jack: “Thank you very much for your time and good luck with everything in the future.”

Natalie: “Coming up next we are heading to the past to get up close and personal with Mr Andy Warhol.”

(* CUT TO ADVERT *)

Jack: “Welcome back to Time Zone. We are now heading to the swinging 60’s as we look at Andy Warhol’s painting and meet the people who inspired him to produce them.”

Natalie: “Andy is best known for founding the pop art movement in American Art. He developed the technique of projecting photographic images onto a silk screen. This quick process enabled him to repeat these images very quickly.”

Jack: “I am now very pleased to welcome the people who are featured in Warhol’s Paintings.”

Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe

* ELVIS AND MARILYN TO ENTER * (not on camera)

(* Elvis and Marilyn on set *)

Elvis:( *shocked & confused*) “What’s going on? Where are we?”

Jack: “You’re on the set of Time zone, we’ve come back from the future to ask your opinions on the future artwork that you feature in.”

(SHOW ARTWORK) (* Marilyn and Elvis happier*)

Natalie: “These paintings were created in the 1960’s by artist Andy Warhol”

Marilyn: “Wow, I can’t wait to be part of this project”

Jack: “Marilyn, you will be the first subject used in a Warhol painting. As a famous actress how does it make you feel to have been picked as part of his work?”

(* Marilyn looks at painting *)

Marilyn: “I think it’s amazing to be the first person to be used in a Warhol painting. It seems that Andy’s work will be highly influential to artists, so to be recognised as a famous actress in the future means a great deal to me.”

Natalie: “Elvis, what are your views on the painting of yourself?”

(* Elvis looks at painting *)

Elvis: “I think it’s extremely interesting, I love the use of bright colours, I’ve never seen a piece of artwork that is so colourful before. But I’m a bit unsure why I’m not performing in this painting.”

Natalie: “Well let’s just say your more than just a singer in the future…”

Jack: “Marilyn, even in the future you are known as a sex symbol. Are you sultry and sexy by nature and do you enjoy being this type?”

Marilyn: “What is a type? I am myself- Marilyn Monroe.” (* said quite flirty *)

Natalie: “And final question to Elvis, is it true that you’ve never had a singing or music lesson in your life?”

Elvis:“ Yes its true; I’ve never had a singing or music lesson in my life. At a young age I just started performing and had to teach myself as I progressed in my career.”

Jack: ”Well we are going to have to leave it there but thank you very much to Elvis and Marilyn”.

Natalie: “Its time to head back to the future where we will conclude TimeZone.”

(* GO TO TIME TRAVEL BUT MACHINE IS BROKEN *)

(* ACTORS ADD ZOMBIE MAKE UP *)
Jack: “Oh no, we’ve created dancing time zombies again”
