Media Studies Game Show
Storyboard Description
Contestants will be asked if they know what an Unusual Word means. If filmed in the studio I would use 3 cameras. Camera one: close-ups on the Host.
Camera two: long shot of both the contestant and the host. Camera three: Close-ups on the Contestant. Props would be minimal, A sign with the show's name
hanging as a backdrop, and a podium of some sort for the Contestant to stand behind. Another sign will be hung from the podium as well. We can have graphics with the words and multiple choice answers to choose from. Now, if we film in the cafeteria, we could use two cameras, one wide angle covering both the Host and the Contestant together, as well as crowd reactions. The second camera would get close-ups of the contestant's face as they try to figure out what the "Wacky Word"
might mean!
