Team Production Meetings

The group were split into four groups of four, and one group of five, where we would be each creating and designed a round of the quiz show. In my group there is Amy, Steph, Reece and Alex, and we would be tackling the "Quickfire" round. I feel confident with this round as everyone in our group has different interests and therefore we can cover all of the rounds equally and to the best of our ability. As we are the last round of the show, we needed to make our round stand out from the rest and end it on a high to impress the audience and everyone involved.

The other rounds of our quiz show are:

- Music
- Film
- TV
- Internet


In our group we started to discuss how we wanted our round to work and the format of it. After lots of heated discussions we decided to give each team a minute and a half to answer as many questions as possible. We also decided to have a heartbeat sound playing as the contestants answer the questions to create tension and give the round a more serious atmosphere to the previous rounds. The team with the highest amount of points would play first, and then the other team would try to pull it back in the last few minutes of the show. Each team would have approximately 5 seconds to answer the question presented to them; they may pass at any point. The lights would be dimmed on the team that are not answering and the set; only the host and the team who are answering the questions would be brightly lit.

Within our "Quickfire" group we set about writing questions for the contestants. We came up with 40+ questions, each one relating to the previous rounds. The questions would be mixed up so that each team wouldn't get the same type of question each time (e.g. music then music); it would be entirely random so that each team gets a shot at each category.

Also involved in our round would include various image and music inserts to help make the round interesting. The inserts would be very quick (5 seconds at most) and may aid the team in giving the correct answer. We hope that the inserts will liven up our round as we can't use long clips to interest the audience and contestants; we need to be quick and snappy and we felt that this would help make our round a little more interesting.
