For our gameshow makeup wont be required. Actors can wear their normal clothes apart from the chaser and the person asking the questions. The lighting will need to be at a certain angle so we can see the actors. The questions will be read off of cards that will either be written down or printed out. None of the actors will know what the questions are to avoid cheating. It will be a free for all game show with a prize for the last contestant. The script has already been written with an intro, questions, answers and an outro. The characters are not fictional therefore we will just be using the actors names.  

The presenter will just be wearing a simple suit, while the contestants will just be wearing something simple such as a white button up or a polo shirt with denim jeans of any colour will be allowed. There will be three contestants and one presenter. We will be filming in the theatre and will be using the theatre lights for the lighting quality. We have already hired our actors for our gameshow and have told them the rules so they are well aware of the requirements. There four of us on this team so we have a; Camera Operator, Director, Script Writer and a Light Operator. 

 

We will be going for a simple design for the game show set. We will be purchasing cheap buzzers from Amazon for the contestants to use. We will use a long table with three chairs for the contestants and the presenter will be using an altar/stand for them to stand behind.
