As part my college course we put on a Christmas production including two acts singing Christmas related covers and much more. My part in the production was creating a VT or videotape that would be used to break up the studio segments.
I knew from the beginning the style of VT I wanted, a comical exert which would make people laugh and feel like it really is the season to be jolly. The first idea was inspired by James Cordens Carpool karaoke where he has a star drive with him and have a sing along. We were going to put 1 member of the group which would be preforming and the solo artist together in the back of my car to do some xmas covers while driving around. This however didn't work out due to time limits.
The next idea was that of a micepie eating contest. A number of contestence would eat as many micepies in a minute. This didn't work for two reasons: 1) there wasn't enough people that would be willing to do it fall stop and 2) there weren't enough people that liked micepies.
The third idea, and the one we went with, was interviewing are tutors, asking them a variety of Christmas related questions and then editing together the funniest anecdotes. This came together really well and it followed nicely with the overall feel of the production.
The questions included:
- Worst xmas present you have ever received?
- Worst xmas present you have ever given someone?
- Best/worst xmas memory?
- Whats your Favorite xmas film?
- Whats your thought on xmas jumpers
What I would do next is give myself more time to produce the VT. We had to film and edit it on the day of broadcast and that effected quality. I would definatly aim to have it done a few days before the broadcast day.
