Week 10: Ethics and Casting

ASBO to Olympics

04/12/11

Summary:

ASBO to Olympics is a show in which a group of young outcasts, who have been neglected by the schooling system and come from a rough background, are put up for one month and trained as athletes at Millfields. While they do their studies, they use the discipline that they will be getting out on the track and apply in the class room.

Casting:

The ‘Students’ will be between the ages of 15 to 18 each of the ‘students’ will be given a physical psychiatric evaluation and a councillor before the filming will start. The guardians/parents of the students will be informed of what the show is about and what the end result of the program will be; being that hopefully they will come out more well rounded and better behaved members of society, and have a chance to take part in specialist events at the Olympic stadium. Filming the events in the school will be challenging to both the crew and cast with some of these children showing very much unpredictable behaviour (giving the show a jeopardy factor), a conversation that the parents/guardians will have is that anything that is said on camera maybe used in the right context.

The ‘Teachers’ who have trained the ‘students’ will be the best athletes that Great Britain has to offer, while not putting the ‘teachers’ in danger they will be told that the students will be unpredictable and at times badly behaved, a team of security and councillors will be on hand to help the teachers. Unlike the ‘students’ they can leave the set at any point if they feel that they cannot do their task.
