Pre-production- Structure

During this unit our original idea and structure went through multiple changes and stages as locations and contributors etc. changed. These occurred between myself and Jemma and then were consulted with Gavin.

Structure 1

This structure had expert contributors Oliver (drag queen with a lot of experience) and Dr Elly Barnes (a Founder and Chief Executive of the charity Educate & Celebrate), it would include static interviews from other members in the LGBTQ+ community, and Tanya as our lead contributor.
This was done before any research from Tanya received so we were unsure if this would work. Another criticism of this structure is that there were too many contributors that the audience isn't able to connect with them, and they can't be established in the 20 minuet time slot. 

Structure 2

In this structure we took out a lot of contributors, it was also debated that Zodi could perform in front of a panel of people who don't know that she is an AFAB Drag Queen and gets revealed at the end. At this point the panel was only apart of the audience.

After looking for contributors we found that finding 'straight' people who would talk about the topic was difficult, so decided it would be better if it was a panel of three experienced drag queens.

Structure 3:

After being unable to find contributors we had to drop Frankie Sinatra as they were unable to work with the dates that we had working with Tanya. Jemma contacted Sapphire Stone from Steal the Style and as I had already contacted Oliver we decided that they would work well together with Zodi in a drag show. The idea is they would perform in front of an audience, who would then be asked their opinions on Tanya's drag through Vox Pops. This is an example of the poster we would use to get an audience for the performance in January.

Structure 4:

In structure 4 we added in Amy who works with Sink the Pink, her insight on drag and her opinion is important to hear. She will be sat in with the audience and interviewed before and after the performance.

From this I have learnt:

• How important it is to be able to change ideas when a contributor either backs out or changes something, this is done through good communication with contributors.
• The importance of communicating with the crew I am working with to bounce of ideas and allows the idea to develop further.
