My new idea is a film based quiz show. However, I would like it to still have an element of a panel show, with 3 contestants on each panel. My unique selling point is that the films will all be recently released, therefore differing from a standard quiz. I think that giving it a twist will also take it away from being just a quiz show where its only purpose is to educate - like University Challenge.Taking inspiration from shows like '8 Out of 10 Cats' and 'The Big Fat Quiz of the Year', I would want it to still retain an element of comedy where the contestants would interact with each other, aside from just answering the questions. I spoke to Helen about this and we agreed that to do this, I think I would need to find contestants that had a comedic background so that they feel confident to be funny on the show and interact with the other contestants. Casting Call Pro would be a good place to look for these contestants as there are many categories, not just actors where you can target comedians particularly.
I would like the quiz show would have a variety of questions, also interactive rounds where VTs could be used to as the questions. I have also thought about rounds that could be quite physical and involve either the contestants or other actors to act out a scene from a recent film which would then need to guessed. I decided to remove the element of the clock as I felt like it would become too much of a central aspect, and it wasn't original. To extend on this idea, I will map out my rounds individually and develop them to assess whether they would have enough entertainment value and sustain the 30 minutes of the show.
