Today I went over my ideas with Helen for her critical feedback. I started with my main idea of the comedian stand up battle show. Straight away she told me about a previous show which the uni did which had the exact concept, she told me all the difficulties they had and how the show was a complete disaster and that I show change the whole concept if I wanted the show to work. She when let me watch the show and I thought it was really bad mainly based on the host and contestants, as they might of been funny in a pub or to their friends, however they couldn't keep the show going and they jokes were appalling as they were only students and not full time comics. This was a mater set back for me as this meant I had to scrap the whole concept and start all over again.
I then told her about my second idea for the debate show about technology, she thought the idea was good however that I would need to research on the subject and try to find a key point to talk about as the topic was quite vague. Another point she made was that I would need to look for a expert on the subject to come on the show to give an expert opinion or facts about the subject.
Overall from today this made me think hard about what I could do as my main idea was shot down and my second idea I wasn't keen on doing. I need to go over what Helen's critics and think about another show. I think I might play around with an idea that Helen gave me about creating a children's show as she was very keen on someone doing one as she told me about the studio being famous for children's shows. I will need to look more into it to see if I can create something to put a show together.
