preliminary exercise

https://youtu.be/AlmzIENUuTA



1) State the genre you have chosen for your TV drama - family or crime drama.

Crime TV drama 

2) Choose at least three TV dramas similar to your concept and watch the trailer and one scene from each. Make bullet-point notes on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing, sound and mise-en-scene.

TopBoy

camerawork-it started with the long shot of the setting and then it went close up straight to the character's face named Shane
editing - It was match of action-where he open the door of his flat
sound- dietetic sound music playing  and diegetic when he speaks to his mum
Mise en scene-casual clothes,high key lighting and the setting is in  a estate.

Power

camerawork-it started with a establishing shot of the house and then it went close up for the characters face.
editing-reverse shot when two the two characters speak
sound -diegetic sound when they are both speaking.
Mise en scene-smart/casual clothes,high key lighting and the setting is in a bungalow.

Thirteen reasons why

camerawork long shot to the high school and then a medium shot to the characters speaking to each other.
editing-match on action when the one of the character opens the door and comes out his car
sound-diegetic sound -dialogues and undiegetic sound for the music
mise en scene -casual clothes,high key lighting and low key lighting and the setting is the high school.

3) Write a script for your TV drama scene. You'll find guidance for writing a script in the BBC Writers' Room (click on the Script Library to read real examples of professional TV scripts).



4) Write a shot list containing EVERY shot you plan to film AND additional shots to create flexibility when editing. These additional shots are often close-ups, cutaways, alternative angles or similar. I advise using a simple table on Microsoft Word to set out your shot list - you can find an example here. 

The estate

Shot No.	Shot	Filmed?
1	Wide shot of the estate and TeeJay walking.
2	Close up on TeeJay’s face.
3	Tracking shot of the car.
4	Close up on the villain’s face.
6	Long shot of the car
7	Wide shot of the whole scene when the villain comes out the car
8	Close up of the bag that the hero is giving the villain.
9	Medium close up of both the character
10	OTS shot when the hero speaks
11	Long shot of villains dialogue

5) Plan your mise-en-scene: what iconography are you including to ensure your audience understands the genre? Plan your cast, costume, make-up, props, lighting and setting. For this preliminary task, use just one location to keep it simple.

My genre crime will be understood by the audience by the mise en scene and mainly by the way my characters are dressed and the setting being in Estate.

Cast-protagnist and

costume-Casual wear

props-Bags with drugs 

lightning-Day light lighting 

setting- Estate


6) Plan a shooting schedule that will ensure everything is filmed by the deadline. Include when, where, who is required and what shots you will complete at each time/location.

Shooting schedule 

11th October
Heston
protagonist and the villain
tracking shot of the car and then the medium shot of the setting,eventually close up top the characters face.
