As Live Production:Finding/Organising Talent And Contributors
Research is important to do no matter your role, so that you have an understanding of the context of the show and an understanding of your role.
Typically you will need to find people to fill the following roles:
-Presenter/Actor
-Contributors
-Audience
-Artists/Guests
What do we look for in our "talant"?
-Relevent skills/experience
-Performance
-Charisma/engaging character etc.
-"look" is appropriate to brand/style
-Representation + Relevance to audience
Finding Talent
Sources could enclude: Own Contacts, UCA, Press, Online sources e.g. vloggers/bloggers.
Advertisements could be sent out on Mandy.com, Facebook etc.
Some Talant's have their own agents that we could contact.
Scouting (visit the talent in their respective venues, which can be just about anywhere).
Scheduals, fees, travel/food costs and hours will all have to be negotiated.
Get people to commit on paper, organise artist release forms, contracts and written agreements.
Finding Audiences
You need to decide what purpose your audience serves e.g. Passive VS Active.
To find an audience you can put out advertisements, online e.g. social media.
Piggyback on university media.
Put out ads in local papers or notices in the local area.
Invite contributors to watch the show.
Accuracy
Keep good records throughout the production.
Keep important documents safe, back them up in a shared cloud space.
Ensure titles, names etc are all spelled correctly and all paperwork is filled out properly.
