Victoria Wood: Live In Your Own Home (1994)

Concept and creative process

The comedian presented her own show with stand-up comedy, monologues and sketches in her own inimitable style. The titles were a time-lapse film of all of the pre-show preparations in the studio, from the set build to the lighting to the live audience settling down in their seats for the performance. Parallel to this activity, shots of Victoria’s own preparations for going on stage were superimposed over the time-lapse activity, together with projections of the logo, and ending with a caption of the show title flown in as a video effect in the post-production edit.
