Again Conor, wow! I love how you've changed the set for the finale, you're idea's would really work.

[Conor]

EDITED - Launch:

9.00pm - Starts with a video showing all the previous summer series. And ends with something like "Same old - Not this time" then 2 sec obscured teaser vids of the new housemates.

9.02pm - Video merges into the opening titles

9.03pm - Camera sweeps through both sets of crowds (At studio entrance and the house entrance) and ends up inside the set where Davina comes through the large door from the first crowd. Audience cheer and music is playing.

9.04pm - Davina goes through a few of the changes and another short video, displaying the changes airs.

9.06pm - Davina leaning over first floor of the new house to the camera below and begins the tour, ending at the sofas with an interview with the house designer and the exec producer.

9.14pm - Davina makes her way through the camera runs back to the crowd and asks a few questions to the public.

AD BREAK

9.16pm - A video showing this years audition process and who the public want to see in the house airs.

9.18 - A video of audition clips shows for the first housemate. They then arrives from a car in front of the first crowd and makes their way to the studio. They get 1 or 2 questions asked by Davina and make their way out the studio main exit to the house. Their main introductory VT then plays.

Total duration: 1 hour 35mins
Start: 9.00pm
End: 10.35pm


When housemates are entering:

Each HM has a 4 minute segment.

1min 20 - 2min: Few questions
2min - 2min 30: Enter house
2min 30 - 3min 30: Main VT
3min 30 - 4min: Live from house

Next, either format changes or written eviction plan.

[MrGaryy]

Hmm, it all seems pretty good, I actually am beginning to like the idea of the door being on ground level.

[Brekkie]

Has the studio been knocked down for the finale then? I'm a bit confused.

Also even for the most dedicated fan a 2 hour 40 minute launch show is far too long - and it's the casual viewers you need to be hooking back in. With no signs of any housemates, I fear most would have turned off within the first half hour.

IMO 90 minutes is about the maximum for a launch show - otherwise it'll just drag. To be fair it's one of the few things they actually get pretty much right at the moment - if anything the thing which would improve it most would be cutting the amount of time it takes to get the HMs in, not doubling it.


I do agree though with their VT playing after they've faced the crowd, rather than before.

[Spike]

I like the ideas for the launch but its way too long. At least 40mins- 1hour needs to come off that

Yep, studio has been knocked down, it was basically designed as a glorified shed anyway lol.


I read back and I agree, with you and Spike about the launch plan now. I'll tweak it a bit. I think I've been a bit leaniant on some of the timing anyway.

[Conor]

Few more graphics. What they mean will become clearer soon - I want to see if they have the same mystery effect they would hopefully have if really put on TV in May.























A few opening title graphics:










Sorry about todays quality of work - Its basically been crap.

[Sam!]

They're so fresh and nice looking Conor! I love them!

[MrGaryy]

I like it for the most part. One thing I would note is perhaps the language used in the ads is a little . . .amatuer sounding?

Probably down to my shiz English more than anything else lmao

[Zac]

Wow Conor, love the graphics but think the launch is just slightly long.

[JOSHUAH!]

I really like the BBAU influence, they look very much like the old titles from 2004-05? or somewhere around that time. It all looks so fresh and appealing and

It's nice to see a major difference, welldone Conor.

Yep, I think it's 2004. They're my fav BB opening titles from anywhere.

[MrGaryy]

Yes it definitely is very BB04 inspired. Particularly the use of the person symbol lol thats used on toilets. and the Blue and pink color scheme too.

So you cheated then.

I'd personally like the studio back for the final due to the morons who don't show even the winner respect some years, and I think it's important for the evictees to have somewhere a bit calmer to talk to Davina.

That said if you had kept the studio I probably wouldn't have used it for the interviews - it would be more a VIP area where the finalists are reunited with both F&F and ex-housemates before moving out to the front of the studio where the big finale crowd, and some sort of stage, would await them.


Love the look of the opening titles and the prize money teaser - though C4 wouldn't get away with pleading poverty on one hand and offering Ł1m on the other! In recent years I've said I'd up the jackpot to Ł250,000 - but now times are tougher that Ł100,000 seems to be worth a lot more than it was a couple of years ago.

[Sam!]

I'm not sure If I like highlights being at 10. Specially on Tuesday with later nominations.

[Brekkie]

Any true BB fan knows 10pm is the best place for highlights. 2pm for BBLB though - no way - 6pm is too early for some, and I think BBLB needs to move away from any idea that it's for the kids. Scheduling seems rather erratic too.

Not sure about your nominations scheduling either - I think if given a decent edit it can easily be incorporated into the main show, but I'll reserve judgement until you give us the info on your nominations format. Worth noting though up until BB4 the producers managed to show every single nomination within a half-hour show, taking up no more than 10 minutes. Nowadays they spend twice as long in an hour-long show only showing around half of the nominations.

Yeh I agree about BBLB. Wayy too early.

[Spike]

I like the highlights scheduling but the Tuesday show could just be extended until 11:00pm and still fit nominations in
BBLB needs a much later slot, 6pm or 7pm would do
I love the eviction scheduling, that would increase ratings on a Friday

[Conor]

BBLB slot updated: Fixed 7.00pm - 7.40pm slot.

Also, Tuesdays would still have nominations included in the highlights show, but the dedicated nomination show after would show extended footage and focus solely on the nominations that week for a more indepth viewing.

[Brekkie]

Be realistic Conor - they're certainly not going to move C4 News to accomodate BBLB, or first look Hollyoaks on E4 for that matter.

If the nominations are in the main show in some form, however badly edited, the extra show should be over on E4, not on C4.

[Spike]

Yeah I also think the extra nominations show on Tuesday should be moved to E4 and replace nominations uncut.
