STUDIO PRODUCTION • Sam and Mark's Big Friday Wind-up Research

"Prepare to laugh your socks off at Sam & Mark's Big Friday Wind-Up. From celebrities to the studio audience, no one is safe from the boys' hilarious pranks"


Sam & Mark's Big Friday Wind-Up is a children entertainment series that began in 2011. The show takes them format of a someones family member being embarrassed on the show. Sam and Mark interact with the audience and chose one member to take part in the show, this is when their family member is brought out and they're given the chance to play through a series of rounds, to win prizes and to embarrass their chosen family member. They have a range on celebrity guests, and there is always one on each episode. The show contains lots of different elements that I have taken inspiration from to help develop my show. 


The show doesn't try to hide the fact that it is filmed inside a studio, they use lots of stage lighting to light up the show and have it the background for the cameras to see. This works well for the show and adds to the atmosphere. The cameras turn on the audience and the hosts go into the audience to talk to then and engage them in the show. I like that they incorporate the audience in the games and this something I want to include in my show. For one of my round I want 2 audience members to come up on set and take part in one the games.

The hosts are the main elements of the show and they are what help to carry the show along. Their personalities as well as the way they sit with the studio audience and their on show guests gives it a friendly chatting style with a really relaxed tone. They strike a balance between the excitement of the rounds and the games the contestants play and the more easy sections where the sit on sofas and talk to their guests, as well as playing VT's which keep with the theme of the show. 

For my show, I want to include a similar style and tone and I also would like to have 2 presenters as I think this will help the show, the two presenters can the feed off each other and the will be one to cheer on both of the two teams in my show. I want people who has a similar style of presenting to Sam and Mark in that they easily interest with the children in the show as well as the adults.

Writing a Script

*A screenplay only tells us what we can see and hear*  Important things to consider are  Title page - which should contain the name of the story, the writers name, draft date and contact details which are important if you are handing out your script to people. Scene headings - the scene heading should state whether it is to take place inside or outside using INT. or EXT. It should also contain the location, e.g. BEDROOM, HOUSE and time of day - DAY/NIGHT Action -  The action under the scene heading should contain enough detail so that the reader can picture the location or action but concise enough that it is just a long paragraph of description, it should also be written in the present tense.  Characters - when introducing a new character, their name should be written in capital letters so that the reader knows they are a new characters. If the character is not in the scene but can be heart or are a voice over, then (V/O) or (O/S) should be used.  Dialog

I chose to be the director of photography (DOP) because I feel the over the course of the last two years my camera and lighting skills have increased greatly and I wanted to focus of those skills more in my final year. To fully immerse myself into being a DOP, it is important that I researched deeply into the role and what it would include. Being a Director of photography "includes creating the visual identity, or look of the film/ tv programme, they work with the Director, camera crew and lighting department to achieve this and they manage all aspects of filming, from ordering and overseeing equipment to reviewing footage." (Creative Skillset, 2017) My main tasks will include creating the overall look of Young & Famous and putting into play the vision of the director. I will be focussing the camera and lighting aspects of the role and make the technical decisions as well as some creative ones. Framing: for this, I will work closely with the dir

Scott and Bailey - TV Drama

Scott and Bailey is a British crime drama focusing on the lives of two female detectives. DC Rachel Bailey and DC Janet Scott are not only work colleagues but close friends, a main part of the story is their relationship and the problems they have.  In each episode, there are 3 to 4 different story lines, the main one being based in the police station, centred on a crime and the others about the personal lives of the main characters. For my script, I would like to do something similar, I want to have the main story line revolve around a major case they have given, and then the personal lives of my two main characters, Shane and Annie.  The characters have many flaws that are pointed out in multiple episodes. For my character Shane, I want his flaws to be quite relatable. Through his dialogue and mannerisms, I want to reveal to the audience that he is wary of new people and finds it hard to trust them and that he is also emotionally immature and afraid of commitment b
