Set Design
The first thing that adjusted was the set design. The original design that Josh came up with looked like a late night talk show rather than a movie quiz show. So instead I suggested that we have a red curtain with gold glitter, meaning the colours of the show would be red and gold. The podiums have changed to gold glitter as well, just to make it look more glamourous. The theme of the show is now Glitz and Glamour, like an award show.

We also met up with the CATF team at UCA, and pitched our idea to them. At a later date they will come to us with some ideas, and we will come up with a final set design that they will build for us.
Logo/Graphics
As part of Ellen and Nisserin's jobs, they were to create a logo and some graphics for the show. Since Josh had already made these, it gave them a sense as to what he wanted them to look like and the tone he wanted them to have.
They both made a new logo which gave them a starting point to creating the graphics of the show, like the lower third and more.
The new logo looks more glamorous and glittery, and also it gives off a better movie type theme. When you look at the logo, you can clearly see what the show is going to be about and what the look of the show will be.

The graphics team have also made the emoji questions which will appear on screen for the contestants to see.
These are some examples:
Style Bible
Before meeting up with the CATF team, the graphics team created a style bible which has everything from the colour combinations to the set design to the lighting placement and a few picture examples to go along with it.
This style bible will help the CATF team with knowing what style, tone and sort of branding we want for our show. The colour scheme will help them with knowing what colours to use and also it helps the VT editors and graphics team with keeping the consistency of the show going throughout everything.

Social Media
Along with the graphics, Nisserin and Ellen are in charge of promoting the show, so they created some social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter. They will be sharing photos of behind the scenes and other important information that the viewers might want to know.
Script/Running Order
After Josh's first draft of the script, myself, the production manager (Imogen) and the assistant producer (Sam) went through the script and added a few suggestions that could be made, like shortening a few sentences to make it less wordy.
Josh took some of our suggestions on board and decided to change some of the jokes in the script. The questions for each round are in the script and the dialogue in between is in there too. The script will change a lot throughout this process, but so far it's at a good place with knowing the basics of the layout of the show.
The running order has been changed a few times in order to separate time a little better. One thing that had to be switched around was the timings of the Host's introduction and the contestants entrance. After talking to Helen, we mentioned to Josh that the contestants entrance and talk should be longer than the host's intro, so he decided to switch these around. He also changed the running order to suit what was in the script as well.

Rounds
Through some group discussions, some of the rounds have been changed slightly. Round 4, instead of just one contestant being on the set, the second contestant will now also be on the set during this round.
Originally, after round 3 one of the contestants would leave the show and the other will go on to complete round 4. However, if the contestant doing round 4 didn't complete it, the other contestant would come in and carry on from where it stopped to win the show. The group discussed this and we found quite a few negatives about this format, so a new alternative was suggested.
Now, after round 3, the contestant with the most amount of points will do round 4, however the other contestant will be on standby on set just in case they get a chance of winning the show.
We found this was a better way of doing the round, and also it meant we could experiment with a mastermind lighting and have spotlights on the contestants to add to the tension in the round.

VT's
Josh decided to change one of the VT's into a live segment of the show.
There was a VT called "I ain't afraid of no host" and the content of it was the host scaring the contestants in their auditions. Josh had said that he didn't particularly like that VT anyway, and in terms of filming it wasn't very practical. So instead he created the idea of the host going into the audience during the live show.
In between round 3 and 4 the host will go out into the audience and ask them what their favourite film is, then they will go around to the crew and ask them the same question. At first the thought of the host going into the gallery was there, but after discussion it just wasn't very practical in terms of sound and timings.

Contributors
It was decided that the host and the contestants would be comedians, however when myself Imogen and Sam were talking, we thought it would be better if the host was a comedian and the contestants were funny but were mainly film buffs. This would make more sense as the show is all about the contestants proving that they are the ultimate movie fan, which means they need to have a love for movies.
The search for the host is being done currently, and we want someone who feels comfortable in front of a camera and will also be happy to ad-lib a few things during the show.
These are all of (most of) the changes that have been made from the original idea, and there still might be some changes that will be made later on. So far, I think everyone is happy with the show and their roles in the production.
