Maidstone Studios Briefing


The day following the specialist pathway deadline brought us the first briefing at the TV studios in Maidstone. Having the opportunity to see the space we will potentially be working in gave an insight to the size and structure of the set that the students running the project had in mind.
After touring the building and rooms we would be working in, we also discussed the project brief. The proposed idea from the TV Production students was to create a half hour long program aimed at children called 'Teach Em' A Lesson'; A Victorian classroom set where two group of actual school children will participate in a series of challenges and quizzes, with strong themes of educational history.

The details that were of importance to us as the design and making team were aesthetics of set, an idea of dimensions and any props and costume required. With the budget of £600, some adjustments and compromises had to be made, but by the end of the meeting there was a good general idea of what was needed and the next steps to be taken: Initial designs, assigning roles and beginning making and sourcing. As this is the quickest hand in date to come around, the making and planning had to happen right off the bat.
