IMMUNITY #1 [YOUR FAIRYTALE]

[Sandy]

The first Immunity Challenge will require teamwork. Your tribe will need to be creative, original, and a focus on a beginning - middle - and an end. You also need to name a tribe Storyteller. Instructions will be posted Saturday at 7pm EST and you will have the duration of the weekend and into Monday to complete it. 


Storytellers & Sidekicks

Each round, one castaway from each tribe will be selected as the leader, a Storyteller. They will be in charge of making decisions during Immunities, such as delving out roles to tribe mates and submitting things needed. Those Storytellers will also be tasked with assigning the opposing tribe a supporting Sidekick to their Storyteller.

So, make sure to discuss this and have your tribe decision prior to the challenge going live.

Hello castaways and welcome to iSurv1vor 36: Black Forest.

This first Immunity Challenge will require full on teamwork, tribe cohesion, and team creativity. There's no better way to test what your tribe is capable of than with this very first Immunity. On Zeit, the Storyteller is Brittany with Gwen as the Sidekick. On Anfang, the Storyteller is Tony with Goldy as the Sidekick.

Let's get to today's challenge!

This challenge will work in two parts. Part 1 is the creative process where each tribe will come up with a video concept. This is the season of fairytales, so each tribe will be have come up with a story in video form. Part 2 is the grading process where each tribe's story will be submitted to a panel of judges for grading. Further details on each part are detailed below.

CREATING

Each tribe will be tasked to create their own original tribe fairytale. Give us a concept, a beginning, a middle, and an end, and make it magical! Each member of the tribe must be featured in the video at least once, and you guys will have to work together to edit your footages as best as possible. So this story could be an actual story with video clips to bring it all together, or you could go the music video route and tell the story through song, or whatever else your tribe sees fit. 

GRADING

We have a special panel of judges who will be the voice for grading this Immunity. Pay attention to these 5 key areas, each worth 20 points for a total of 100 available points. 

CONCEPT:
your tribe's overall story, beginning, middle, end, could we follow along?

CREATIVITY:
character development, props, wardrobe, and overall styling and storytelling

ORIGINALITY:
Have we seen this before? Did it excite us? Did it evoke certain emotions?

UNITY:
Are all 12 tribe members featured at least once?

EDIT:
How the final project is pieced together, sound effects, music, how it looks, visuals



The deadline for this challenge will be Monday, June 21st @ 7pm EST.

Come on in guys! It's time for results. Let's take a look at some feedback from our judges starting with Anfang. 


Judge #1 

Concept: I think this idea was sorta cheeky but was lacking the beginning, middle, and end that a typical story should have.

Creativity: This tribe was extremely creative in the costuming and making sure everyone had a specific role that was consistent throughout.

Originality: I was excited to see where this Big Brother concept went, so you get some points for that. However, some of the jokes didn’t land and originality took a toll because we have seen and heard these jokes before.

Unity: You all were there, yay!

Edit: This was super great except some of the volume issues that I noticed where the music was kinda loud during some of the speaking. I loved all the filters and effects.


Judge #2

Concept - Just didn't understand the "Story aspect" just was a big brother eviction

Creativity- Everyone looked great, but there were a few who were too plain Jane. Was a very entertaining video I will say that.

Originality- I have seen this, its Big Brother, and we are a survivor game. Could have a little more UMPH to it.

Unity - Everyone was seen at least once. Everyone participated

Edit - Edit was good but there were a few moments that could have been a little more polished. People were stating their votes and Julie never asked them a thing.


Judge #3

Concept: I couldn't really find the beginning, middle and end. Besides I guess the "voting" portion of big brother, and the random bachelor clip in there really threw things off for me

Creativity: I loved all the characters and each person was their own unique character. There was a couple I wish had more lines and gave us more depth but other then that loved the wardrobes and everything with those fleshed out characters.

Originality: We've totally seen this before so I wasn't super excited. There was certain parts in there that made me laugh, but it just wasn't what I was expecting. I wanted a unique twist that we haven't seen before, but it just fell flat.

Unity: Great job featuring everyone.

Edit: I loved the flow and how this was put together, great sound effects and art style chosen.

Now moving onto Zeit - 

Judge #1 

Concept: I really enjoyed the idea from this tribe. It was an actual fairytale type of thing, but you guys morphed it into your own. There was a clear, beginning, middle, and end, but at times it was slightly difficult to follow along because of bad audio or editing mishaps.

Creativity: The character development here needed some work. At times I couldn’t tell who was an actual character and who was a narrator. It would probably had worked better had the narrators just been voices while the characters were the ones on screen. Some styling was better than others, and those who tried definitely stood out! With that being said, the storytelling was the strong point.

Originality: I definitely didn’t feel like I’ve heard this story or seen anything like this before, but sometimes it evoked the wrong emotions, sorta like WTF moments that kind of distracted me. That was mostly an editing issue, but I do think this was a decently original concept.

Unity: Everyone was present, good job!

Edit: The weakest part of this entire submission was the editing. It was very choppy, it effected the overall flow of the story, and left the viewer, at times, distracted.


Judge #2

Concept- I loved the story, I could follow along great!

Creativity- The storytelling was great from everyone who narrated, but I wish we seen more costumes and character actual development.

Originality- haven’t seen the story before, but there were some parts that had me a bit confused. I was very entertained, loved the original song!

Unity- Everyone was seen at least once!

Edit- VERY choppy edit! There was too much dead space!


Judge #3

Concept: I love that you had a beginning, middle and end and I knew what you guys were trying to do throughout the story. Some parts had me going huh? but overall I could tell what you were going for. Great job saving that village!

Creativity: There was some good characters in there with some great wardrobes, but a lot of them were just plain, I wish there was more to them. Great Storytelling though.

Originality: This totally was something I hadn't seen before, it was a nice unique spin, but most of the time I was saying WTF am I even watching? So you evoked my emotions alright...

Unity: Great job featuring everyone.

Edit: It was very choppy and a lot of dead space, like before someone talked parts could have been cut out. IT took me a bit out of the story at times.

Anfang's Submission: 

[Sandy]

This means congratulations Zeit, you have won Immunity. I do think the fact you went down the traditional fairytale route worked in your favor with the judges, Anfang, your edit was much better and your costumes were great, but I do think your story lacked the magic that we were looking for in a concept.

Anfang, unfortunately, you’ll be attending the first Tribal Council of the season.

Now, before you head back to camp, we have winning Storytellers and Sidekicks - and we have some losers. Brittany and Gwen, congratulations - as the winning tribe's Storyteller and Sidekick, you’ve earned the opportunity to search the Black Forest three separate times. As the losers, Tony and Goldy will be given that same opportunity, but will only be able to search once. Remember, the Black Forest is where all storybook pages can be found, as well as some other game powers.

Additionally, there’s another way to receive some spare pages throughout your experience here in Germany. Usually, the underdog of the story is who the reader is meant to root for. So to pay homage to this fact, those who vote in the minority at Tribal Council will be given the page of the person voted out. This is a reward for not ending the story of the underdog.

Any questions about this please contact Production.

Anfang, please start discussing a time for TC tomorrow night, between 8pm EST to 10pm EST.
