SET OF YOU’RE BEEN ZONED
High
tech feel with all sorts of gizmos, lighting and film / spy equipment
in the background with people experimenting. Feels like Q’s
department in James Bond. (Opportunity here to sell space for brands
and profile some high tech gizmo???)
Three large screens displayed on a wall to look like the launch
room at NASA. Computer staff working at desktops.
Screen showing people profiles, Pan to briefing room with the
HOST looking over some documents. Looks up.
HOST
Welcome
to the show, YOU’VE BEEN ZONED. I’m HOST name.
You will believe you have shifted time and space into a reality
of monstrous proportions. With
the help of family, friends and colleagues, the ZONE IN team will
stage a reality that by pinching yourself will not be enough to wake
up, or, are you awake? Lets see
A
rotating picture of CELEB X appears on the large screen behind HOST.
This
week we are going to Zone in on CELEB X. In order to zone in on our
celebrity we are going to need to understand if they have any weird
fantasy’s, or do they have any fears, and if not we will make some
up. In a minute or so we
will meet the insiders who will give us an insight into the mind of
CELEBRITY X. But first,
Stepping
closer to the profile big screen.

HOST
Welcome
back; meet the ZONE IN TEAM who will set up the reality. MARY, the
project manager, PETER, our special effects genius, VUSI, sound
effects and recording. JOHNNY 7, identity concealed, sets up the spy
gadgets and cameras. Last but not least the person who will co
ordinate the transformation of space and time.
FRANK, the director,
HOST,
CELEB FRIEND, CELEB WIFE AND THE ZONED TEAM
Introductions.
(Script
changes from person to person).
HOST
Let
me start with this question, How do we get CELEB X to be where we want
him at a particular time on a specific day and as if not to complicate
things, CELEB X must believe they are somewhere they are not? You get
what I am saying?
FRANK
THE DIRECTOR
You
saying, CELEB X must be on our ZONE, but, believe he is flying to
Shangri La on an aeroplane. Without hypnosis?
HOST
Yes,
and more, the plane must simulate a crash, land in a room filled with
pretty girls feeding him marshmallows and champagne and then wake up
in his own bedroom just to …
FRANK
THE DIRECTOR
Are
you crazy?
HOST
And
CELEB X must question reality and fantasy.
FRANK
THE DIRECTOR
Crashes,
Marshmallows, please!
VUSI
Guys,
Come on, maybe it is not so crazy.
PETER
Frank,
I think we can work something out, some lighting, a bit of robotics
and Bob’s your uncle.
MARY
THE PROJECT MANAGER
Stands
up and turns towards the profile screen.
Let’s
recap, our star has had falling dreams etc. (recap the answers from
the HOST interview with CELEB FRIEND and CELEB WIFE.)
Let’s
remember that we need to treat our stars like stars, at least in the
beginning that is.
FRANK
THE DIRECTOR
What
I need to know is what will be the reaction to various scenarios.
Let’s say that our star is captive in a room, no way out. Will he scream, bang the walls, cry?
Ideas
and scenarios being thrown around the table.
What about this and what about that?
Laughter.
