Coursework: Ignite presentation learner response

1) Type up your feedback in full including the ratings out of five for each of the categories. 

  • Research (through presentation AND blog) - 5
  • TV drama concept (crime genre) - 4
  • Language: terminology and theory - 4 
  • Representations - 4
  • Audience and Industry - 4
  • Delivery - 4
  • Total out of 30 - 25
Comments:

  • Classic crime narrative - straight into presentation works well. Lack of title/tagline - interesting but I wonder if this would help when writing script?
  • Narrative feels quite difficult to film cast - do you have actors/locations/costumes in mind?
  • Good focus on elements of media language. Plan also links to crime genre conventions perfectly.
  • Timing of presentation not quite perfect in place but loads of excellent content with good use of media language. Great to see representation theory in there and I really like your points on race + subverting stereotypes.  
  • Good focus on audience too -media key concepts are addressed impressively.
  • Excellent industrial context - totally agree on Netflix and target audience.
  • Brilliant to see print magazine elements and digital convergence - really impressive coverage of media elements.
  • Strong, confident delivery. Some slides had excellent images, others, were a little plain/text based but delivery made up for these.
  • Q+A - good question on main character, confident answer, clearly well thought out concept. 
  • Q on setting is good and reveals a few details of mise-en-scene that will need developing. Confident answers to questions throughout - really impressive. 

2) Use this feedback, comments from peers and your own reflection on your presentation to self-assess and write your own detailed WWW and EBI for your coursework concept and presentation as a whole.

WWW: Mise-en-scene, theories and good use of media terminology

EBI: Timing issues with slides

3) Write a paragraph discussing how your presentation will lead into your actual coursework production. Do you need to update your statement of intent? Does your concept offer enough clarity? Is it appropriate for the audience specified in the brief? Is it achievable to film with the resources you have available? Can you add media terminology or theory to your statement of intent now you have reflected on your presentation and seen others? 

I think my statement of intent is good and covers what I am planning on producing. The plan for the production is appropriate for the audience as the brief specifies for a rating of 12A, so I am using minimal violence and graphical content. Also I am aiming it to older teens and early 20's so the narrative and the way I will construct the mise-en-scene will fit that target audience. The resources I have available are helpful and will help me achieve what I am planning to make. I need to make sure the casting is specific and fits the characters realistically with their age. In my statement of intent I have included the theories I am planning to cover and will fit this in my final product for the social and cultural context.

Crime drama pre-production

1) Script Write the full  script  for your TV drama extract.  LINK TO DOCUMENT 2) Shot list Write a comprehensive shot list for every single possible shot you plan to film for your crime drama extract. For three minutes of film, that is going to be a LOT of shots - quite possibly more than 200. LINK TO DOCUMENT 3) Mise-en-scene planning Costume - Suits to portray that these characters are are detectives and are highly respected and specialised in their field.  Lighting - In the first scene I will have a low key chiaroscuro effect on the main character who will be looking at a police crime map board. In the second scene I will have a lot of high key lighting and also using as much natural light as possible as the setting will be the crime scene and will be shot in the day. Actors/performers - In the first scene I will have the main character looking at the board with his back towards the camera (Barthes - enigma). In the the second scene I will have the characters wal...

Colour schemes match with each other. 3) What  key conventions  can you find across different types of front cover - e.g. title placement, cover lines, main flash or cover line, date/price/barcode etc. All the titles/masthead are placed at the top.
