3) Mise-en-scene planning

Costume

For costuming, I want my characters to be represented as normal everyday teenagers so probably very modern clothing however because I have a flashback scene occurring I want the costuming fort hat epode of time to be of much more colour since it conveys a happy moment in the main protagonist lives. And so when  the two female characters are at the field, the costuming/clothing is going to be much of dull colours such as back and white to convey that sad moment in their lives.

Lighting

For lighting, I want to use natural lighting such as the weather to portray a sudden dark change to showcase a convention of pathetic fallacy.

Actors/performers

In terms of clear communication of narrative codes in particular of Vladimir Propp's character theory, there will be the hero who will be the central protagonist of my extract, a princess which the story is began from and finally the false hero aka the killer.

My Tv crime drama challenges varies theorist regarding representations in the media, for example Liesbet van Zoonen argues that woman are typically restricted to secondary roles which is not the case in my extract as my main protagonist is a female and so is the villain with only including a 'princess' in whose character is only visible through memory flashbacks.Another theorist in which I challenge through my crime drama is David Gauntlett's idea of masculinity  in crisis as I have placed a male character to be the person who needs justice when normally in any other tv crime drama series such as you happens to be the other way around. My tv listings magazine feature will talk about the misinterpretation of black identity as Alvarado speaks on black stereotypes within the media.As it challenge his ideas and in fact refer to hoe having a diverse cast has helped shape the media into being more 'woke'.

Make-up

In terms of make -up, very minimalistic and natural and in terms of the fight scene only a few rough 'cuts' on the cheeks and forehead which will be done by special effects make-up.

Props

A crime drama is easily identifiable through its visual iconography and narrative structure such as them always having some sort of murder happening to which suspects are rounded and interrogated. Therefore since my story involves the murder feature, it would only make sense to use 'threatening' props such as a gun -highlights the violence portrayed in a crime drama genre. This will shown towards the end in which it will always play a crucial part into who was shot as the camera shot will not reveal so.

Setting

For my three minute extract I plan to film at scenic atmospheres one which holds a special bond between my characters such as the Printing House Lane and The Chimes; crime drama series always capture intense scenes at eerie locations.



4) Shooting schedule

  • When? Over the half term.
  • Where? Chimes and Printing house lane, all near my house.
  • Who? 2 girls and 1 boy whom are my friends.

  Media Magazine Theory Drop - Postmodernism 1) How does the article define postmodernism in the first page of the article? If modernism is beginning to question authority, then postmodernism is making fun of authority to its face. Postmodernism takes this concept of questioning traditional structures, representations  and expectations and pushes things a step further. 2) What did media theorist and Semiotician Roland Barthes suggest in his essay 'The Death of the Author'? In 1967 the French literary critic Roland Barthes released his essay The Death of the Author. In it, he challenged tradition when he said that a writer’s opinions, intentions or interpretation of their own work are no more valid than anyone else’s. To give a simple example, this means that just because Ridley Scott thinks Deckard is a replicant, doesn’t mean that you, the viewer, have to think  this if you don’t want to. Readers are  free to interpret a work however they choose, irrespective of what the cre

Summer project tasks 1) Research: TV crime drama extract analysis  How To Get Away With Murder: Narrative and genre In terms of the tv crime drama genre it is mainly viewed by the older generation however because the show involves a narrative of law students it gained a lot of attraction from college/law  students across the world, which skyrocketed the viewer age.  show starts off with an introduction to a criminal law course, throughout the seasons the audience is able to identify the irony between the law class and what they have to go through in order to actually get away with murder. The narrative is then communicated to the audience through varies flashbacks at the start of each season and working its way through to the very last episode of the said season to showcase the whole event in one piece rather than in fragments. By doing so audience are left into a cliffhanger each episode causing them to binge watch the show as the crime drama genre has always been some what a game the

The Specials - Ghost Town: Blog tasks

-
  Background and historical contexts 1)  Why does the writer link the song to cinematic soundtracks and music hall tradition? Formed in 1977 and arguably the most influential band of the UK’s  2 Tone Ska  scene, “Ghost Town”, a skewed ska oddity, was written by Jerry Dammers, The Specials’ keyboardist and released in June 1981. It was their last song before splitting up and reforming as The Special AKA and stayed at the top of the UK charts for three weeks. It’s an odd, eerie song, nodding to pop convention and sitting wilfully outside of it. It’s included, in passing, in Dorian Lynskey’s beautifully written book on protest songs,  “33 Revolutions Per Minute” , but unlike the band’s “Free Nelson Mandela” does not merit its own chapter. Perhaps because “Ghost Town” cannot be “placed”. It’s not explicitly against any one event. It does not exhort its listeners into any one particular political view. It is not part of any one social movement for change. It is, rather, a stealth protest s
